Why does Norton AntiVirus have helpless help pages?

(A; Its part of their security program.)

I have to disable Norton from the tray icon to check my Email via OutLookExpress.

Why can't Norton give it up automatically for me?

When norton had their update for 2005- security level was set hig- check internet security settings and lower it down. It's not actually allowing outlook express to connect to the internet.

got it. the firewall is preventing you from sending and recieving.

1. open the norton console (click on tray icon) and click on the personal firewall. Then click on the configure button.

2. on the window that pops up, click on the tab that says programs. There will be a list of all the programs that require approval from the firewall to access the internet. scroll through the list and find outlook and highlight it. then at the bottom click on the modify button. on the window that pops up make sure the selection is set to automatically configure internet access (recommended).

this should remedy the problem, but if it doesn't then there are 2 more things to try. you could disable nortons firewall (if you have windows xp sp2, you can turn on windows built in firewall). If that doesn't work the go with a uninstall/reinstall of the app.

I'll check you question tommorrow to see you had any luck.

Help please: My antivirus is symantec...?

I know it sucks(everyone tells me) and it wasn't me who put it, anyway...

I want to get rid of it and put a new one but when i go to add/remove programs the little box that says change/remove has dissappeared.That's because(i think) my cousin tried a couple of times to get rid of it to install a new one but it wouldn't go.So now i can't get it off and i probably have some virus or bug in my system..

What should i do?

When my norton antivirus expires do i have to renew,can't I just reinstall it?

You can't renew it, or reinstall it, but if you buy the new version of Norton it'll replace the old one so don't need to uninstall it. I don't recommend getting Norton. First: I experience lots of trouble this is my 4th year using it, it worked fine after a while but later it stops working, it fails, I'm using Norton Internet Security, and it failed like in a month, and can't return it for a refund. Second: is that Norton slows down your computer by a lot. Norton is like a scam, it costs like 50 dollars and works for 365 days and it'll just fail on you in few days. I update my Norton daily or whenever it tells me to and Norton remains (X) and I can't even download a update because it doesn't let me and it says Norton is corrupted and my other computer works fine.

When an anti-virus subscription expires, it will no longer update with new virus signature definations.

The "black-hats" are creating new viruses and other malware each and every hour every day 24 / 7. Without updates to detect these new malwares, a un-updatable anti-virus soon becomes worthless.

If you are looking for a good, free anti-virus, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. Uses less then 10 MB RAM on my machine. And did I mention that it's free!

Just remember that you must un-install your Norton (even if it is expired) before you install ANY other anti-virus program.

Good luck.

Trouble removing Norton Antivirus and installing McaFee...?

I got my computer in late 2003 and installed NAV 2004 (actually the geeksquad did). Now since my internet provider provides free McaFee software I went to install it but could not since i still had norton, or so it claimed. I had long ago uninstalled 2004 and still have the disk but on the add/remove programs list it says 2003 and also norton wmi update. The 2003 only has a change option and i cannot remove the update. I get an error saying the network source isn't available and stuff about an alternate path. I really want to get this off and get McaFee on and the only thing I know is that there is three norton folders in the "my computer" section and also a symantec folder. I have Windows XP SP1 by the way. Any help is greatly appreciated and if more information is need just ask. Thanks.

Try the Norton removal tool found here

The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer.

I would go to the Symantec Website and download the Norton Removal Tool. Use this to remove norton completely, before trying to install another antivirus program. Sadly to say you are probably going to have the same problem removing McAfee as well. There are much better free antiviruses out here. Try AVG, Avast, or Antivir. You won't be disappointed. Oh, well its your choice. But regardless of your decision, I would highly recommend that you download service pack 2 for XP, in order to patch the security flaws in sp1. This will also greatly aid in protecting your pc from viruses and malware.

Good Luck!

Nortons is dynamite, the tales of woes and catastrophes connected wit it are legendary.

Symantec are supposed to have a program on their site for completely un-installing their product. I suggest you downlaod this,runit and get rid of every scrap of the it and then think real hard as to whether you want to put it back on your machine.

Once you have got rid of it, go to one of the online virus scanners and have your machine cleaned of any nasties.

If it came with your machine I'd ditch it. If you had the misfortune to pay good money for it I'd troll their websites and forums before putting it back on.

i have downloaded the AVG free version through internet on my laptop hp pavillion.....i dont want to take daily updates ...is it possible to protect my notebook without daily updates of AVG.................how long this protection will last...........

Abt AVG, the antivirus software?abtuvurys 2005

I have it also and i only update it every 7 - 10 days and i've never had any problems with it. It only takes a minute or two to update so it's not a big deal.

how bad do you want a virus in you pc? if you don't keep your definitions up to date it won't be long before you asking another question in here "how do i get rid of this virus" New Virus are coming out daily, so solution to these virus's are coming out daily. When your asking the next question don't forget to mention that you couldn't be bothered to keep your definitions up to date, and then someone might say to sad to bad. It don't take long to do so make it a part of you log off or log on. I scan my pc for antispware evertime i log off and delete browsing history, house keeping is important to a pc.It is only as good as the operator.
You can last a while without the updater, the updater mostly just updates drivers and fixes bugs so you'll be find if every month you download all the updates.
you can get protection for old viruses. THere are daily updates because there are always new viruses. If you don't update, you will not be protected from new threats.

Contact Symantics about the problem and see if they will refund your money. If not then contact your credit card company and stop the payment.

Your best bet is to go to http://www.spybot.com and download spybot search and destroy. It's a very good free program

i almost never recommend that people use norton. that's because to get it to work properly you have to read what it says on their support site. most people are too lazy or busy to do that.
Try this removal tool, then it will take you to a re-install page: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsg...

I agree with these other posts about not using Norton products, but just didn't wanna say it to you. But this tool will remove it from your PC either way..... Good Luck with it
