Security Center Problems with Norton Antivirus 2006 in XP?
412709
If you read the reviews on Amazon you will find you arent alone. I dont know how Symantec has managed to keep selling Norton antivirus year after year when they get the same incredibly poor ratings. \n\nGo to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and see if the Security Center service is started. If not, right click and start it. I recommend you ditch Norton and get something else. I gave up after trying to upgrade 2 machines from the 2003 version to 2004. The lesser known products actually work much better.

the best thing to do is firstly,- uninstall Norton then take the driver disk and place it under your coffee mug, then cut your losses and go buy an anti virus program that works. install that one and you will be fine........ a bit of a sarcastic answer i know and apologise but i just can't see how Norton are still going, although saying that- their backup program "ghost" is good but i think they have lost the edge on anti virus detection and the anti virus is very resource hungry...........just my opinion

If you already have an older version of Norton installed, then  that's your problem.  Go to the Symantec web site and downlaod their removal tool.  Hopefully, this will work.  It didn't work for me.

Norton is crapware. Get some free spyware protection instead.\nThere's a good list here. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html

For specific instructions: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.rontokbro@mm.html\n\nGeneral Guidelines:\nFirst use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

First of all completely uninstall Norton, then download AVG free from the following link, update it and scan your computer:\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nYou must also get an anti-spyware. SpyBot is the best among the free ones. Get it, update and scan the system again:\n http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/spy...\n\nFor prevention of intrusion into your system, use a firewall. ZoneAlarm is the best among the free ones:\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/ZoneAlarm_Free_d388.html

i dont like nortons but i use panda, it runs all the time which could be a draw back, but it doesn't slow this machine, the older pc it did but then so did xp. It firewalls blocks unknow script intruders and so much more. I have to install less helper programs, so that is good in terms of fewer program conflicts.  here is a site with 2006 reviews on antivirus products maybe that can help.\nhttp://antivirus-software.6starreviews.com/?Refer=Goog&Keyword=antivirusb&gclid=CO3OxI7_2YQCFQHAJAodWHg9cQ

Just from my tech experience remove norton internet security or zonealarm from the computer. Thats if they're installed.  If not lemme know...

if you're using XP don't put McAfee on it anyway. Stick with Symantec products. But here's a hint...new pc's downloading anything without internet protection, ESPECIALLY with bearshare, is just AKSING to get a trojan!

not servers right?\n\njust save all your personal crap to a dics. of course you would have to reinstall all programs... \n\nOr go out and buy a copy of norton ghost, it works great and is easy.

If you are installing from an XP CD , and , if you can afford the trouble , boot your PC from the CD ( or a floppy disk) and completely reformat the disk when the XP installer asks you to.I assume you have tried virus removers such as Norton/Symantec etc.

Instead of disabling norton, go to options and check start manually. Then reboot. A quick solution to password issue is to set both computers to same user id and password.
