Answer 1

i had trouble as well with norton products .the firewalls worked too well.i had to restore or reinstall my operating system ..i recomend zone alarm security suite is the best i have ever seen .even better than mcaffee

Answer 2

I agree with the last person, AVG is a lot better than Norton- it just runs in the background and does a full scan every day. If you can, get the full paid-for version- it only costs £22.

Answer 3

At the top of your open Internet page click on TOOLS when the drop down menu appears select INTERNET OPTIONS - you will the see a WINDOW with GENERAL as the main tab and a small window with the internet address that is set! It should be highlighted in BLUE - just delete and enter the Internet address of th homepage you want - then CLICK USE CURRENT and APPLY -that should be it

Answer 4

hi, my pc did the same when i had norton anti virus. when the subscription expired i started to use AVG free edition and its fantastic! i also use spybot search and destroy which is also free. i now have very good protection!! its a good choice to give up norton..
