Yesterday, I opened my AT&T Yahoo! (I'll abbreviate to ATTY from now on) browser, and I was prompted to download new software from ATTY. The download totally revamped their online protection. It used to be ATTY antivirus and ATTY antispyware, but now it's all Norton.
The thing is, it's making me browser slow and my games lag. The ATTY one was much better. Should I just delete them and download free antivirus?

The "update" completely screwed me up and I contacted ATTY. (There isn't even any protection software at all available today--they disabled Norton downloads.)
ATT told me to go to Windows onecare and sign up for the free 90 day trial while ATT works out the problems.
EDIT with an update - I uninstalled the entire ATT/Yahoo protection suite, although it left some CA bits behind. Then I went to Live One and signed up for the free trial. After the installation, I am good to go, with no lingering Norton/CA problems.

I am having this issue as well. My Norton Protection Center is provided by Yahoo!
It was part of the AT&T Yahoo! Online Protection but i did not like it, so i uninstalled the Onlne protection but it did not remove the Norton Center, just the Online Protection. (spyware, etc) If anyone can help me as well, much appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. The new software totally slowed down my computer. It' like the old dial up modem days. This new software is totally useless to me.
