Security - January 2007

How do I eradicate all traces of Norton Internet Security and Anti Virus from my PC including registry entries, hidden files and the like. In the past I've come to really dislike Symantec products, they seem to take over your computer and apparently impossible to remove all traces of even using the uninstall application. Now I just bought a new laptop and I'm horrified to discover it has a load of Norton stuff pre-installed. Grrr! How do I get rid of it before I install my preferred security software?

When I do not log off but simply shut down my personal computer this message appears "Other people are logged onto this computer. Shutting down Windows might cause them to lose data. Do you want to continue shutting down?" I do not understand this as I am the only person who has authorised access to this p.c.. Does this literally mean that other personnel are using the computer without my knowledge or have I completely misunderstood? I am not particularly IT literate and any comment from Yahoo viewers would be welcome.

I am having a problem with some kind of malware, everytime I try to use certain programs like Mcafee VirusScan a window pops up that says " yay ". It also affected Winpatrol and other programs. If anyone else has had this experience and knows how to get rid of it, your help would be much appreciated.

My computer is getting hundreds of little grey colored popups that say "yay". My task manager shows the item under mscifapp.exe. I have a popup blocker enabled which does not stop it.

I know we are generally told that the smartest thing to do is just delete and not reply, but that is so boring and provides no satisfaction!
