Trying to eliminate antivirus prog but it sais we need to exit the program first but it wont allow us to?live update

maybe you should first open the windows task manager (by pressing ctrl+alt+del, if you really didn't knew),go to processes tab and then terminate the anti virus process by finding it. it should solve you problem.

best of luck and hope for the best.

Suggestion 1:

CTRL+ALT+DEL to open Task Manager

On Processes Tab

Look for the filename of the antivirus you are using... some files there a linked to your antivirus

Click the file then click end process

Suggestion 2:

Right click the antivirus icon on your system tray (near the clock) then click exit / close / end program

Will IPhones have antivirus/firewall programs included?

Why does my antivirus not finish updating ?norton internet security

The program has either become corrupted or you very well could have a virus, as many actually are designed to deactivate security software.

I've used just about everything on the market, and the best is CA Internet Security Suite. It includes Anti-virus/spyware/phishing as well as a firewall and backup software and even an optionally installed child protection app. I've had Norton's and McAfee and both suck. Norton's is too big, and gobbles up cpu capacity as well as memory and McAfee just doesn't stop anything. Both also cause system speed to slow down to a crawl. I've used CA for the past 5 years, and have not had a single malware related problem since switching Norton/s.
Yep. I have also found AVg not as reliable as i thought. I've used it for 4 years.

Change to avira or avast. i'm using avira and it works fine, finding more viruses that avg just left behind. (all free)

If you stil want to use avg then you need to uninstall it and reinstall. Check its the free version still or one you have license for.

Using cracked antivirus doesn't work too well, or so i hear :D
Dodgy copy of AVG maybe?
My advise, get rid of AVG and install PC tools Antivirus, www.pctools.com. It is so less intrusive and works more in the background.

In order to be able to prosecute there must be a verified intrusion. You first need to disable Norton. This makes the intruder "think" it is down. But in reality you can't just turn it off. Once the "intrusion" occurs Norton will reactivate and give you a report with instructions.

I have Norton Antivirus and since I installed AOL I cant get the live update to work. Any ideas?

The help says that with AOL I may have to configure. I have wireless Cable through a router and have no idea how to configure. The directions with norton is very vague. Could it be a firewall? I just don't understand what is going on.

I have Norton Antivirus and since I installed AOL I cant get the live update to work. Any ideas?vista

I'm guessing that you are using a proxy server which prevents you from downloading updates to Norton AV via their live update. But, this is only a guess. Usually, in situations like these, you have to rummage through AOL and/ or Norton knowledge base forum to look for the fix. You can sometimes find the answer at their FAQ sites.

As a temporary solution, you can manually download and install Norton AV updates at Majorgeeks.com (http://www.majorgeeks.com/). The latest update is for July 9, the download link is: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Norton_Virus_D...

I downloaded Threatfire antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall from download.com i cant get them off.?

I downloaded both of these softwares from download.com. I didnt like them so i uninstalled them correctly and no longer appear in the list of programs. but when i check my security center, it says both zone alarm and threatfire are on and reporting to be working. HOW DO I GET THESE THINGS OFF FOR GOOD? I HAVE VISTA HOME PREMIUM. PLZ HELP!

I downloaded Threatfire antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall from download.com i cant get them off.?

If you uninstall both programs correctly in the (add/removed) program list, then the files are gone. To make sure all fragments are gone go to System Restore this will take your computer back a few days before you install these programs and then everything would be alright again. Go to Start%26gt;All Programs%26gt; Accessories%26gt;system Tools, and then System Restore, follow directioms as to restoring your computer. Good Luck. I have Window Vista Home Premium also and I am not going to put anything extra on my computer, when you start doing that things start to go wrong. Window Vista comes with (Window Defender) a very good spyware program and with an antivirus program preloaded on your computer, all you need to do is to make sure that you put all settings to (automatic update) this include your windows updates, antivirus program and spyware program, this is all the protection that you need in window vista. Good Luck

So yeah, Avast it is.

It's a rogue antivirus program and it is bad news. The best way to get rid of it is use a good removal program like Rogue Remover Free. Doing a system restore will not remove it for you because it still be in the the undo restore point that windows automatically creates every time you do a system restore. But spyware removal programs will delete it out of the registry for you.
thats a virus in its self, my friend had one of those, if you have limewire delete it, then do a system restore go to :: start, all programs, accesories, system tools, system restore, go back a few days, then should be fine

You could go to Start %26gt; Run and type in the name of the cd drive. My one is the E-drive so I would type:

otherwise, return the product to the store and get another copy if you like.. and see if that works. If not, there's something wrong with your computer.

Another option is, you can download AVG or McAfee from one of those many popular torrent sites. Those two are pretty good.
I wouldnt bother with Norton. You can get perfectly good ones for free. Try AVG free. Its great. You can get it on www.Download.com

Does a PC antivirus software like avast detect mobile phone viruses?

Some anti-virus programs for the PC can detect mobile phone viruses ON THE PC - that is, before they have been transferred to the phone. However, for proper protection of the phone you need a phone-based anti-virus program.

Also note that it depends very much on your phone model. Some (most, actually) phone models cannot be infected and you don't need anti-virus software for them. You mainly need anti-virus software for mobile phones using the Symbian S60 R2 operating system (mostly the older models of Nokia smart phones). While proof-of-concept viruses also exist for devices running the PalmOS, Windows Mobile and Symbian UIQ operating systems, they have no chances of surviving in the wild. There are also no viruses for devices that use the Symbian S60 R3 operating system (mostly - the newer models of Nokia smart phones), since it is much more secure than the R2 version and is incompatible with the latter.

In particular, AVAST offer a mobile version of their anti-virus program - but only for devices running the PalmOS or Windows Mobile operating systems. Surprisingly, they don't offer a version for devices using the Symbian S60 R2 operating system - yet this is the environment which is the most threatened by mobile malware.

The vault isolates the virus so it cannot harm your system. You can then attempt ridding your computer of the virus using AVG. If this fails, a Google search of the virus name should give you links to a site where you can download a patch to solve the problem.

When I use antivirus ( AVG ) to remove virus, it says to either 'heal' or sometimes 'move to the Vault'.......computer security

Cleaning is where the software can remove the vrus from the file.

Vault is a secure location where the virus cannot infect the rest of your system from. This is in case there is some critical application or information which is so valuable you would risk infection to access it. In a few cases software can be used to remove the virus from the file, but most of the time you have to delete these.

First, try to clean, then move to vault and delete some time in the future after you have verified this is not critical.

Ido not think there is a specific limit - but after a couple of days you have verified your PC runs OK with the file in the vault and verify the file does not have critical personal info, there is no reason not to delete it.
press F1. Most programs use that shortcut to open their documentation. The best help always comes from their creators.

Why does Norton AntiVirus (2006) Definitions update daily now?

Previous versions updated every 2 to 10 days, rarely daily.

Why does Norton AntiVirus (2006) Definitions update daily now?aurora

Don't listen to people that tell you to turn off your auto update on the Norton. That is a good way to get a virus so its annoying big deal, if it will save you from getting a virus. The reason you are getting updates daily is maybe the last time/s didn't update completely or was interrupted. Could be Norton is updating daily, because of new virus they are finding on the net.Keep it up to date always and keep it enabled and auto update

Why does Norton AntiVirus (2006) Definitions update daily now?download

You can have your antivirus software update itself as often as you like. Check your drag-down menus when you have the program up. Look for either an "options" tab or a "preferences" tab. You should be able to control how often the program is updated. I don't use Norton right now but I've used it before.

I hope this helps.
becuse systematic has setped up there protection with the gobs and gobs of infections they feel its worth giveing you the latest they know about if your truely concerned about viruses i would leave the auto updates on never know when that one whatif will happen
I guess coz their more different types of threats these days
the setting you have to automatically update, I turned mine off, its annoying. I update mine manually every day or so.

Which ithe Best Antivirus which can completely filter out virus from computer?

The answer depends on personal preferences. Usually the last program that took care of the last virus that the other ones couldn't. In my case it was Avast! Anti-Virus.

I recommend antivir. It is very powerful and it is free.

hi, there maybe something wrong with your IE.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

norton antivirus is great!!!!!!!!!!!
I have "AVAST" no problems so far!! Also--it is FREEEEE!!!
I heard mac afee is the best but its a great question.
Ok antiviruses like norton and mcafee do the job but the problem with them is they take alot of system resources to run them. If your looking for a very good and free antivirus i recommend Avast Home Edition. It barely uses any system resources and it is very good with infected computers and also very good at keeping the viruses off your pc. http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-... . Good Luck
I use Norton. It is pretty reliable.
nortan internet security is the best u can but for your money is around $60 but well worth it
No anti-virus can claim to filter out all virii. People make a virus and put it out on the net, and then the anti-virus manufacturer figures out how to identify and stop the virus, and updates his software. The software manufacturer is constantly trying to catch up.

Question regarding Norton AntiVirus software?

My software expires in 20 days. I bought the latest version 2007 today, will I lose that 21 days of subscription service if I install the newer version now, or will it carry itself over. Please help :)

Question regarding Norton AntiVirus software?best antivirus software

If you have left 20 or 21 days left for expiring the old version of Norton Antivirus, let it go. You could install the new software when the old one expires. Installing the new Norton Antivirus will cause to lose the 20 or 21 days service from your old package. I would strongly recommend you to use the new sotware after 20 days.

Question regarding Norton AntiVirus software?firewall

you just made the biggest mistake you can, norton is the worst anti-virus in the world? ever wondered why you computer takes forever to start? but to answer your quetions, you souldnt lose the 20 days providing you uses the program to update and didnt just buy the program on a diffearant acount.

Hi,

Sorry to tell you but you have done the wrong thing, you should have just downloaded "AVG" for free http://free.grisoft.com/ and dumped Norton's (why buy when you can get better for free ??) so take it back to the shop and ask for your money back. Hope this helps you.

Why has norton antivirus started blocking my outlook emails?

it was all working fine, then suddenly its stopped it sending and receiving in outlook??

DO'ES NOT MATTER THE SAME HAPPEN'S WITH MCAFEE

I HAD THEM BOTH , TOOK THEM OUT AND D/LOADED AVG IT'S FREE

Why has norton antivirus started blocking my outlook emails?free adware remover

More than likely you have a spam blocker on your Nortons and it is doing its job, you want to check your info with Nortons and it will probaly be solved.
I haven't run Norton for a while now but I think you have to change your settings in outlook and set it up to go threw Norton you will have to search your Norton help files
I'm having the same problem, even while using Yahoo. I open a page, but when I go back, everything is frozen. Then I get "No Response" after it has failed on me. I have to close my online and start over. I'm convinced now that Norton - and a few others - are the culprit villians to our problem. I sincerely hope you find that actually works!
Norton stomps lots of programs. Do yourself a favor and get rid of it, and go with a free one like AVG.
maybe, someone has been sending you emails with a spyware attached in it. I used to use Norton anti-virus and it acted like that a few times then i disabled it and there were alot of spywares attached on the emails!!!!!!!!! just change the settings to accept junk emails like advertisements but be careful because sites like that attach spywares to monitorate what you have been doing on web.
you might have a virus on your system that attaches it self to out going mail

Why does Norton AntiVirus ask me if I want to renew when my computer shows that it is already enable

Also, what is the best way to "clean" computer w/o deleting files?

Why does Norton AntiVirus ask me if I want to renew when my computer shows that it is already enabled?cafe racer

I use this it does good, It's called ccleaner which means crap cleaner.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

This is called Adware SE, it removes adware (popups and files that cause them) plus it finds viruses and trojans.

Why does Norton AntiVirus ask me if I want to renew when my computer shows that it is already enabled?free anti virus

I have no answer for your primary question. But as for your second question, I guess you want to know how to get rid of the temporary files and other crap. You can get the free Disk Cleaner and one click will do the job for you:

http://www.diskcleaner.nl/download.php
your subscription may be running out !
Expiration is a different thing !!!! All Nortan softwares are valid for 1 year after an year yoyu have to renew the subscription so that you get the support.

You would have reached somewhere near the newwel date. Please check the first window to know about the expiration date.
Get rid of Norton and get a good antivirus program. Here you have some free options:

http://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/downlo...
your subscription (updates and def.) are close to expiring is why that keeps asking you. on the main page it will have the date that it ends (bottom).

you will need to renew in order to continue recieving updates past that point.

as for cleaning files?

i would suggest a good cleaning program like regcleaner or cccleaner.

you will want to delete files tho if they are no longer used or needed

Right now, which antivirus out there is the best?

For free systems the highest rated is Kaspersky. For subscription try PC-Cillin. The support makes it tops in my book.

Right now, which antivirus out there is the best?computer protection

CA anti virus

Right now, which antivirus out there is the best?free antivirus download

check out

http://computer-probs.blogspot.com/

It not only gives complete solutions but also offers

free downloads of effective softwares which can detect

and eliminate all spy ware /virus /ad ware /Trojans completely.
Check out www.virus.gr ... It has run tests with a large virus database and with many antivirus software...

It is free of commercials so its the most accurate (since it doesn't have its own antivirus to advertise too)

I think the top one is Kaspersky Internet Security but its also very expensive (also you will notice that the most famous antivirus aren't the best but became famous for good commercials)
I'm using Windows Live OneCare. It's around $39.00 at Walmart. It is easy to use, backs up all your files, does system scans, plus comes with Windows Defender. As was told to you earlier, everyone has different opinions, but this one has worked very well with me. You can also use it for up to 3 different computers. It's little icon in the toolbar is colored coded so you know if your computer is in good shape or needs attention, which the program directs you on what to do.
every one has a diffrent oppinion there is no right or wrong answer people would just give lists of anti viruses becasue each anti virus has diffrent types of virus definitions that others dont have but the other may not have some that another has so i wouldnt give an oppinion becasue every on has a diffrent oppinion and theyll say it sucks but some other maybe wont but right now im using norton

Is PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition 3.1.2 more efficient than Norton?

I found on www.download.com that Norton is rated with a 2 star and the PC Tools is rated with a 3 star from the user and 4 star from CNET

Is PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition 3.1.2 more efficient than Norton?computer repair

norton will protect you better, some will say its a resource hog etc..

i have yet to see that on any pc with norton on it.

Is PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition 3.1.2 more efficient than Norton?free antivirus

PC Tools anti-virus Free edition does everything that an anti-virus has to do, and for free. Hence, it gets a high rating. Norton may be slightly better overall, but it updates weekly, is a big resource hog and is NOT free. That makes it a poor scorer. If you want to buy an anti-virus, go for Kaspersky / BitDefender / NOD32; if you want a free one (believe me, they do their job very efficiently), get anyone listed below:

http://pctonic.blogspot.com/2007/05/anti...
Norton is way better but it's not the best and uses CPU. Use F-secure, Kaspersky, Avira, Active Virus Shield, or Bitdefender.

They're the BEST =D

Try Comodo firewall. It is better than the ZoneAlarm free firewall and consumes less resources and won't slow your pc down during startup.

An important thing to keep in mind, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use

( http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security... ) is to keep it UPDATED, just as it is important to make sure you have all windows critical and security updates +

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdat...

Note: The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly. Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want. I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the net, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs before reconnecting to the net.

When you have antivirus and spyware do u run it while online or offline?

You can run manual scans while offline. And run the Update option while online. But for online protection they are always running in the background.

When you have antivirus and spyware do u run it while online or offline?computers

There is no deference. Just do daily scans in safe mode.

When you have antivirus and spyware do u run it while online or offline?hijack this

It doesn't matter if you're online or offline. Well except you're using dialup for your internet connection, then you might wanna get offline before running the program. Other than that, it doesn't really matter.
Normally I run my antivirus and spyware all the time.

However, antivirus software can really slow down some applications. Since I have already scanned all the files on my computer for viruses and spyware, sometimes I disconnect my internet connection and shut down my antivirus software. This speeds up the applications.

Caution: Restart the antivirus software before reconnecting to the internet.
Either or... makes no difference.
It doesn't matter. It automatically runs by itself.
when you have installed them they automatically get started when you open your comp. and when you get online they start to protect your comp from dangerous things
I run both on line but then I have a high speed always on connection and it runs in the background and pops up with the results when finished.

I have norten antivirus 2007. It has spyware protection. Do I still need to get an extra spyware pro

and If I do. will the spyware doctor conflict with norton or make my computer slower?

I have norten antivirus 2007. It has spyware protection. Do I still need to get an extra spyware protection?download

Every time you add a new process to your system it will require resources, so naturally you will have less RAM available for other programs and therefore you will lose a bit of speed. Each time an anti-spyware program performs a scan it will use memory and processor time.

Norton anti-virus does not usually deal with spyware.

If you have Windows XP SP2 then you can get Windows Defender the anti-spyware program free of charge from Microsoft.

I have norten antivirus 2007. It has spyware protection. Do I still need to get an extra spyware protection?hijackthis

all spyware software look for different things, one may miss something another picks up. most other spyware programs will not conflict unless they scan at the same time, but both you mentioned are real time scanners, dont believe you will have a problem. make a restore point first, in case.
Yes, as Norton's spyware detection is crap.
Yes. No one anti-spyware program can cover everything that's out there. It's been proven a combination of programs can give you better protection. Make sure you also get the following: Spybot S%26D, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal and Spyware Blaster...

maybe your internet security level is at high level that prompts your norton to give you a warning pop-up. i had it before when i set to a high level. try to choose the middle/medium level and maybe it wont notify you always and would just ignore low security risks. open your internet explorer, go to tools, internet option, then security and privacy option (make it medium level) then click ok. not so sure if this a good help, but i had tried it and got no problem at all.

I have Norton Antivirus, but it keeps popping up whenever there's a threat. Annoying. Suggestions?house call

Use McAfee instead or even Microsoft defender its free
yeah why not just get rid of all your protection software and that way you won't get "annoyed" by those stupid programs telling you your computer is at risk and could potentially become unstable or unuseable. Then about every other month, you can reformat your hard drive, lose all your files, programs and settings, and atsrt over again. OR, follow the prompts to get protected.
Go to options and change the "way Norton notifies you"

or

get something like AVG
I think you just have to open Norton Antivirus......go to settings.....click virus and spyware protection options under "additional options" and choose from there.

AVG is the way to go! I have it, and it's wonderful. Just go to www.download.com and you can get it from there.
Try Ad Aware...type it in google ot yahoo and see what happens:)
Believe me, this one is proven and excellent. Choose the Home Edition which is free for personal use.
Try Using Symantec, Norton Anti Virus which will come free along with google Check it in Google

Symantec Technician
try to use Nod32 from Eset.com or from download.com. but you will need instruction to crack it.
You should try Lavasaoft Ad Aware SE. There is a trial version which is free. I have been using it for over two years now and have not had a virus problem ever since. They also have some other fancy stuff like Window Washer etc which are paid for, have no idea whether those work, but Ad Aware does work. The web id is www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware.
As said by others, AVG is probably the best choice. I just wanted to point out that Ad-Aware doesn't scan for viruses, it scans for adware, hence the name.

There is a large difference between adware and viruses.
Trend Micro's Housecall is completely free and scans your computer for virus, spyware, malware, greyware, and adware.

The catch is that you need an active internet connection. With a 56k modem it is a little slow but possible. Its much easier if you have a faster connection. Check out the link below.

taken the price into account SBC is better.

Notting better than free and it runs with less load on your computer and it does the job
Symantec/Norton is a memory hog and really slows down a computer. The EZAntivirus and PestPatrol by Computer Associates that is provided by Yahoo is the same basic product used by many Fortune 500 companies. I used to buy CA protection before I was able to switch ISPs and get it for free. In my opinion it's as good as anything else out there.

One final thought..... I doubt that Yahoo would take a chance and provide a crappy product and risk all kinds of negative publicity if people began getting infected with viruses or spyware. It would NOT do their public image much good.

It was automatically sending *what*? SIS files via Bluetooth? MMS messages? Something else?

In any case, if it is indeed infected with a virus, chances are that it's one of the Cabir or CommWarrior families, because these are the most widespread ones. Try the following two free utilities for removing the most widespread variants of these two virus families.

You really should run a general-purpose anti-virus program on your Symbian S60 R3 phone, though - although these aren't free. I recommend F-Secure's; see the third link for links to many others.

You have decent (not world-class) protection as it stands, but an upgrade to KAV or NOD32 would be a bit of an improvement over AVG.

But, you also need to keep ALL of your installed software fully updated and patched to avoid serious security issues.

Almost all viruses and other malware target vulnerabilities in not only your Windows operating system, but also your other installed software such as Java, Flash-player and Adobe.

When these vulnerabilities (or security holes) are patched, a virus can knock all day at the door of your computer but won't be able to infect it!

I strongly recommend the regular use of a free, online security tool called The Secunia Software Inspector, that scans a computer for un-secure, un-updated and un-patched apps that may be installed on your computer.

The Secunia Software Inspector checks for possibly vulnerable programs like Adobe, Winamp, Java, Windows, Internet Explorer etc. and notifies if critical security updates are needed. Takes about 30 seconds and the results might surprise you!

Cannot install Symantec antivirus Client 10.0?free spyware remover

Use AVG anti-virus, it's free and is not a memory hog like Norton.

Cannot install Symantec antivirus Client 10.0?ktm

On the Symantec site they have a Norton Removal Tool, I would suggest you download and run that.

Norton is not a good program, if you need antivirus you are way better protected with AVG Free edition.

Norton runs right along with many viruses and doesn't detect them, also it will not remove most viruses.
Don't install anything with the words 'Symantec' or 'Norton' in front of it. It is not worth the money and will take up tons of memory. As another person suggested, go get the free version of AVG and you will be much happier.

Why is Norton antivirus so prevelant?

Most everyone in the field knows that NAV sucks in so many ways. Is it Best Buy, Microsoft?

Why is Norton antivirus so prevelant?free spyware

I will give them credit for being able to sucker people into purchasing Nortons with their slick marketing skills. To bad they are unable to take these skills and put them into turning around a pure junk product into a quality product.

One would think they would learn from years of making horrible mistakes with their software. Each and every year Nortons continues to get worse. They learn nothing from past experiences.

My guess is as long as they are pulling the the "born yesterday people", they will continue to get richer and richer with no need to make any effort to imporve their software so that is not a hugh resource hog, finds viruses and you are not left with 375 fragments of Nortons when you decide you want to remove the software.

They are in many ways like Microsoft Windows Platforms. You pay alot of money for Windows XP and you expect to get a product that you do not have to download 75 or more critical updates. Kind of like selling you a platform full of security holes.

Microsoft has full knowledge that when you purchase a plaform youv are purchasing a platform full of security holes. And then they turn around with the WGA, and validate that your key is genuine for a platform full of flaws.

There is no logic to this madness.

it tells you how to uninstall it on their site

i keep telling everyone that norton is no good. but that's because most people are in too big of a hurry to set it up right. if you take your time and only enable the correct functions in it there isn't a virus scanner that can come close to it. but there are are some functions in it that will cause you problems. read their help pages before you get rid of norton. it is more complicated to setup but worth the time it takes.

i really need help.

Virus that disables antivirus,task manager, folder options, online scan,etc.?internet security 2006

depending on which antivirus program you use, go to their website (norton's is www.symantec.com) and do a search for that particular virus. see what comes up. usually they will give u instructions on how to resolve it. sometimes even after removing a virus it continues coming back because it has made changes to the registry. the antivirus website should have instructions on what to do if this happens also. do the research and follow the directions. good luck!

Virus that disables antivirus,task manager, folder options, online scan,etc.?microsoft

Sounds like you've got a "root-kit" infection and it's learning. If you can, go to Symantec.com and run a security check. If it will not run or if it can't help you try Trendmicro.com.
Just go to nod 32, I heard it's good.

Is There any antivirus program that doesn't make your computer slower ?

Because I put kaspersky and it made my computer slow.

Is There any antivirus program that doesn't make your computer slower ?internet security

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.

i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.

download firefox for free, Just have a try:

Good Luck !!!

Is There any antivirus program that doesn't make your computer slower ?network security

Most antivirus programs make your computer slower to some extent, because of the constant usage of memory required to maintain active scanning and overall virus protection. Usually the ones that slow down your computer the most are the big name ones such as Norton or McAfee. IN that case i recommend Zonelabs Zonealarm which can be found at www.zonelabs.com

It provides the most protection (and if you wish complete protection) without slowing down your computer TOO much.

Does Symantec Norton Antivirus 2007 make your computer faster by deleting all the viruses ect?network

It will only make it faster if there were indeed viruses on your machine that were slowing it down to start. It can not make it faster just because it is on your box... In fact it may appear to slow ya down while it does its work.
no it does not make ur computer faster by deleting viruses it just stops viruses from infecting and crashing ur computers hard drive it has nothing 2 do with how or so fast ur computer goes
no it won't but if you ever want to remove norton, you will get to know, if you don't already, how deeply a program can get into your computer. I found files long after deleting the program and I did it the so-called right way
It will actually make your computer run slower, especially on startup. It takes horsepower to run the antivirus and scan your disks.

It's a bit like putting armor plating on your car because someone is randomly shelling the highway. You'll go a bit slower hour by hour, but when you eventually get hit (and you will), the bullets will bounce off, instead of destroying the car.
no it does not

Please recommend me antivirus free or cheap?ktm

Right now, these two free AVs are getting the best reviews:

AVG Antivirus: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

Avira: http://www.free-av.com/

You might want to download them both and check them out. Every computer is different, different settings, different software. An AV that runs fine on one machine, may slow another one down or conflict with other software. So, download them and set a restore point in System Restore (you can access that by going to your start menu, choosing Help and Support, then choosing System Restore), or using any third party image backup program you might have (Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image). You want to do this just in case anything goes wrong when you install the program(s). Then install one, try it out for a few days, and see if you like it.

Note: Be sure to have only ONE AV running on your PC at a time. Running two can cause problems, so uninstall one before trying out the other.

People will often push their favorite program, but the best program is the one that runs best on your machine.

Hello you got 2 ways to solve this.

Either try install/repair or unistall again that antivir.

Either roll back your pc to a previous date like 2 days before(there you will lose some data wich was installed from 2 days ago till present but if is nothing important you can try to do that) or the most recent data saved point.

to do this please do the following:

Go on Start-%26gt; Run -%26gt; type there msconfig and click on Tools tab on system restore. Then a small wizard will appear wich will guide you thru the rest of the process.

Hope this helped.

Right click an empty spot on the toolbar, click Properties. The bottom option says: Hide inactive icons. Remove the checkmark.

Hiding the inactive icons does not affect the running of the program, it just makes more space on the toolbar. If you will look carefully, over by the System tray will be a small Less than symbol, clicking on that will show all items in your system tray.

Firstly, Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). They are the people that connect you to the internet. Sometimes your ISP can provide your with AntiVirus for free. (Netzero, AOL, comcast, etc, do.) :O)

If your ISP does not provide anything.. Fear not! I have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend to you.. I have tried all of the following and liked them! :O)

Since reinstalling norton antivirus 2005 i cant send e mails?

Get AVG. It's a free download,and far better than Norton.I wouldn't be without it.When friends ask me to set up their computers out of the box, the first thing I download for them is AVG.There's an upgrade version as well(paid for). Even banks and insurance companies use it. Meanwhile,check your firewall settings.If it's too high it will block almost everything.

Since reinstalling norton antivirus 2005 i cant send e mails?microsoft office

Brian, I would just like to add my name to the list of people here who are recommending you switch to AVG Free Version (free download). It really is excellent. You can go for the paid version later if you find that you like it. When you download the free version, it schedules itself to run automatically every morning at 8 A.M. to do a full system test for you. You are then prompted to update it if you wish. You can download the day's updates to keep it absolutely current. My own full system test takes a tiny bit longer than one hour and the download of the updates is a matter of maybe two minutes at the most. I usually download the daily updates around seven-thirty so when the full system scan is being done, it is using the most absolutely up-to-date updates. You download them from the Internet. They also are free. You will understand how to use this program almost the moment you lay eyes on it. It is very well thought out and presented. I am 64 years old, and understood it the moment I saw it.

I strongly urge you to try AVG 7.5 Free Version and I believe you will find, like so many of us have, that it is absolutely first-rate.

I have being doing IT Support for 25 Years - so I know what i am talking about
Norton may not have caught the infection, and most likely the microsoft pop-ups are bogus.....what you probably have is spyware or malware, possibly even a rootkit....where norton can detect and clean most intrusions, it is primarily an antivirus and doesn't always work that great to get rid of other types of infections.....get a anti-spy program like adaware or spybot search and destroy, or both...also spyware blaster is a good tool as well...they are all free....lookup a program called rootkit revealer and also hijack this....follow the instructs....update everything and run the scans....be extra careful with hijack this as not everything it finds is bad, it just finds things that have been changed since the original file was installed.

or are ther better ones

Is Trend Micro Antivirus any good?network security

Yes, it's the "worst of the best". It is part of a group of really good commercial antivirus programs, of that group it is not quite as good as the others but is still going to keep you awesomely protected from viruses and bad stuff. Trend is particularly popular in schools, it is less expensive than Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition but still really quite good. Particularly good about Trend products is they are very stable on the new Windows Vista.

On Yahoo! answers people come and ask questions about how they can get the benefits of a fast, safe computer without having to pay any money for it. You will get a bunch of answers to your question that are along the lines of "Use AVG Antivirus! It's FREE!" and " "Use Avast! it's free and just as good!" remember; the internet is like the rest of the world, you get what you pay for, and if you pay nothing you get rubbish.
