I installed norton this morning, because people said its very good then my net fell. I thought its a virus because at the time my pc was overrun with spyware. Anyways i just uninstalled the program (after running the pc in safe mode about 6 times and running different softwares to delete the virus*). Then my mate told me to uninstall norton lol, my net returned to normal .. except for explorer ... it deleted some stuff that wont make it load .. anyways why is this? is it a bug?

Norton = paid for = crap

AVG = Free = Good

Thers the simple answer

AVG AS + AVG AV + ZoneAlarm Firewall = Happy Computer User

The simple simple answer is what's right with Norton?

As hesmondo's said, try AVG or kasperspy are also good.

i use kaspersky. although its a dodgy serial, which has now been blacklisted (so cant get updates) kaspersky doesnt let anything i dont want in, doesnt pop up every second, and doesnt make your computer slow. like norton does lol.

I did use Kaspersky aswell, but the serials i used got blacklisted.

So i brought a copy of norton 2007 from ebay for like £13 lol. Its ok for me on a core 2 duo processor, although i still notice system startup drags and that ><
