Removing Norton Anti-Virus Program

Norton is a vile peice of software, these days. It used to be good, and has built a good reputation. However, they cannot piggy-back on their reputation forever. I think they are now lazy.

I use AVG anti-virus (click here) which is free for personal use on a single computer. I have never had a problem with AVG. in my opinion, it is much better than Norton, and it is free. And the only updates it does without asking are updating it's virus database. (and you can tell it not to, if you like).

I agree with Ash. At the university I work at, we install AVG for alll our new students. We have never had a single problem..and it is free!!! It is a lot better than Norton

You aren't the only one. I've seen too many brand new, powerful computers brought to their knees by Norton. I don't understand how anyone can live with it.

Another vote for AVG! If you need antispyware, Spybot and Adaware are some of the best in town, and free.

Hello
AVG is what is installed now on my computer. Norton brought it to its knees. Strange how invasive companies can design something.

I am still troubleshooting my computer. I cleaned the Ram, Battery connections, etc any connection and it has not locked for 2 days.

All the hardware connections seem to be the biggest problems in laptops.

Goodbye Norton, hello AVG
