I have Windows Defender, do I also need Norton AntiVirus?

You need an antivirus program for your computer. Windows Defender is NOT an antivirus program. And Norton is no good at all. Here you have some good and free antivirus programs to download. Use only one! I recomend Avast.\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/

Unfortunately, a lot of virus/malwares have codes imbedded that will make it appear you have NOT been infected.  They also disable a lot of Window's, and other anti-virus programs, security features.  So, that message does not necessarily mean you are still ok.   You probably need to reformat your hard drive, which means you will lose all information on it, but will MOST LIKELY get rid of the virus/worm/whatever.  \n\nAlways keep an UPDATED anti-virus program on your pc!!  I actually use 2, AVG (free) and Norton's Anti-virus.  I'll be getting a different one besides Norton's soon...I'm not that happy with them lately....I was infected twice and AVG caught it while Norton's didn't.\n\nGood luck to you!

Norton slows everything down.  Any antivirus program will, but Norton makes it REALLY slow.  \n\nI would not use it, there are much better alternatives out there, like Avast! or AVG. \n\nCheers!

You mean antivirus? okay, try AVG Anti-Virus than, its free and better.  It has been proven in numerous test to out perform norton.

Windows defender is 100% free and I will swear up and down by it.  I put it on all new systems I build.  You can get it right from the Microsoft download web page. In my professional opinion, it is much better and safer to use then any program you would have to pay for.\n\nGenius01

Will U is right.  Anything made my Symantec, including Norton Antivirus, is worse than having a virus.  Your problem is that your operating system (Windows ME) has been installed for years now, and any version of Windows 98, like you have, really needs to be reinstalled every 6-12 months, for optimal performance.\n\nYou'll want to backup all of your important data first, then find someone you know that knows quite a bit about computers to reformat your hard drive first, then reinstall Windows.

Norton Anti-virus is to prevent and clean viruses. Spy Sweeper is for ad and spyware. You should use both.

Go get the free version of AVG or Avast.\n\nBoth are free and Norton is too slow to load and scan your computer.\n\nYou only need one so delete Norton after you saved your choice of AVG or Avast to desktop.\n\nDavid

An Anti-virus is only one part of the Windows security package, what you need now is an Anti-spyware and a Firewall.\n\nBut since the question is about the firewall - Yes, you do need a firewall. If your going to buy one, get Zonealarm Pro, but Zonelabs also provides a free stripped down firewall that will serve your needs.

I use a popular Anti-virus solution.  Currently, I am using the plain version of Norton Anti-virus.   But I also use Ad-aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy.  Both are free from http://www.download.com\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You can get free Norton Antivirus 2005 Special Edition (Includes 6-month subscription to protection updates )from Google at http://pack.google.com/

First 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.

this is a virus that is saved where Norton dose not scan which is in the windows programming that you downloaded that is why it dose not detect it. but to fix it you need to get another virus program. there are good free ones Microsoft recommends CA virus software. and use windows defender, while you are at it get a spywere program. to stop this from happening again don't go to websites that are questionable in nature and scan any file you download before you open it.
