Norton seems to be corrupting whole system. Have tried to uninstall and used add/remove programmes but does not respond as fails to recognise commmand. Anybody any advice?
Thanks.
We come across this all the time. Norton causes more damage to a computer than any virus!!!
Often the uninstall process goes wrong - I sometimes wonder if it's deliberate. Then again Norton puts so much rubbish in the registrey it's not suprising.
To be honest if it has gone badly wrong a reinstall of windows would be safer. In future use AVG free - much better!!!
You can only properly uninstall Norton by using the original CD and getting Norton to do the uninstall for you. Somewhere in the manual it mentions this.
It is possible/likely that you've deleted some of the files by using the Windows remove programs option and Norton won't then behave. However, my Norton CD has a reinstall or repair option, whether all versions have this I don't know, and using this puts Norton back together again, following that you can do a proper uninstall.
I have used AVG (free) for a few years and I commbine it with STinger from Macafee also free the latter being an innoculator. They both work well togethr.
Got Norton free with this PC for 3 months and Bought actual prog too. WHen I tried to upgrade and ran into trouble.
3 months up soon, need toget it right. I seem to recall that AVG website was Grisoft.com
I used norton for a few years cos I thought it was the industry leader.. still managed to get some guy buying $600 worth of pharmacuticals from Wisconsin! TWICE!
anyway, got avg(free edition) and combined it with spyware doctor (about 45q) no problems, runs like a purry kitten! Will never use norton again.
