Can I safely remove nortonanti-virus without crashing mypc?
My pc came with norton anti-virus Norton Internet Security 2007. I would like to remove it since subscription is up and install AVG instead. However, I have heard that removing Norton can crash a pc. Any suggestions on how to do this without harming pc?
Be sure to use the uninstall instructions from Symantec, the creators of Norton - I made the mistake of uninstalling using the Control Panel once, and it kept me off the internet. http://symantec.pcperformancet ools.com/how-to-uninstall-nort on-internet-security.html
How do I get norton anti-virusoff my computer and use Yahooor microsoft instead?
I just want to keep Norton utilities but get all of the huge and costly group of things on Norton anti-virus. It virtually takes over my computer and I can't get updates even from HP, my computer maker!
Use Symantec's tool from http://service1.symantec.com/S upport/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/200 5033108162039 The uninstaller leaves stuff behind, but this should clear everything. Don't keep anything of the Norton software: it can all be replaced and anything will continue to break your computer. Don't use the Yahoo! stuff, that is Norton too, and Microsoft Live OneCare is terrible. You can do better for free; get these: Avira: http://www.free-av.com/ Spyware Terminator (turn off web security guard): http://www.spywareterminator.c om/ Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.or g/ (use immunise feature) Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.co m/ Comodo: http://comodofirewall.notlong. com/ (turn off defense+ to see fewer alerts) Then get these: http://www.kessels.com/JkDefra g/ http://www.ccleaner.com/ http://heidi.ie/eraser/ http://www.iobit.com/ to replace the utilities bit.
