Norton is one of two virus programs I uninstall from any machine I find that has it. thats systematatics both do not find many virus or stop programs. Try these programs they are fee and much better. http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1...antivirus.html thats for virus or another good virus scan is http://www.superantispyware.com/supe...freevspro.html

then to get loggers and adware encryption software that tarck you and send you garbage emails or pop ups from internal use http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php and then the last little program to use and run to clean missed items and to clear invalid registry issues to speed up your puter is http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ get latest in upper right corner.. These will clean ,repair and prevent just about anything

i selected the free version. it all downloaded and ran fine. then it wanted me to register and pay so it could "remove" my issues. then my norton popped up and said something was trying to change my settings. so i let norton set everything back to where it was. though that program will open every time i start up now.

somthings not right as thats a freeware and I just downloaded it again and it doesnt have any pay info..go to your start button then programs then find lavasoft then choose lava soft and it should open. i will uninstall and do a fresh install from the link and see what happens to mine

you're not getting what i'm saying. i downloaded it just fine. it scanned just fine. once it finished scanning it would not fix it unless i paid. it's all here. i know how to use it. it just keeps asking for money before it will actually "fix" anything. i just uninstalled it all.

No I hear what your saying but somthing wasnt right then because it costs nothing to use and install unless you downmload the professional version. i just reinstalled and scanned and it removed just like normal. Thats why i wanted to make sure you had the little red box on the task bar with the umbrella as sometimes if your computer is infected since norton usually doesnt find most items as its the crappest virsu scanner out the virus will hijack your download from antivir and install a different one they sell to you. Anyways not sure just downloaded it and installed it on 2 different computers again and it scanned then when finished asked if I wanted to quaratine or delete to fix issues and then removed them for m??

well then, you are better than me.

i clicked "FREE".

i had the little umbrella.


they don't give away 60 dollar programs for free. it ALWAYS turns into some kind of sham. they want to spam you or get your personal info or charge you somehow. they don't just give away FREE software. i don't know why i fell for it in the first place. i know better.

this is why i just buy norton. throw in the disk and it's done. been using it for YEARS and have had 0 problems. it's this site that needs fixing, not my PC. every other site online is plenty fast enough for me. i didn't realy have an issue in the first place. i do have A LOT of unused programs i could remove though.
