No idea. As stated above, Norton uninstalled are bad, they usually dont work or leave things behind.
Look in C:\Program Files\ if you find any Norton/symantec entries...

I dont have whatever player/plugin is needed to view that movie on the site. And I wont get it either. Also the movie dont even work with Firefox.
BASTARDS.

You refer to Anonymizer.com?
Yes, it does work. However, it is no 100% anonymity service, you have to know what todo and know your part. It can help but you need know some common sense and stuff too.
And yes they can have that information, so you either trust them or dont. For all you know, they can be the feds.
And yes it does slow down your surfing experience because rather than establishing a direct connection, it routes it around addiotional computers.

A good software is Tor;

You should use a safe operating system such as Linux and use Mozilla Firefox. And there are alot of things to privacy and anonymity and its pretty much impossible to be 100% protected and safe.
A good idea is to disable unnescesary things such as Java, JavaScript and cookies.

Scary little thing.
Be careful with ALL attachments.
Never open attachments from strangers. And when coming from friends, beware of them then too.
ALWAYS do a virus-scan on attachments.

I have heard of this software before, but never actually used it.

My experience with VLC is very good. Never had any problems at all with it. Works like a charm for me.
If it didnt work for you good before, then try the latest version, maybe that helps.
Else there is MPC (Media Player Classic) which is very good, I like it.

I dont understand what you are saying...

The Piriform website says "The best software is free!", free is can be interpreted in many ways, such as in the sense of freedom and in gratis (free of charge). Example;
* Free as in free beer.
* Free as in freedom.
Now while the best software may be free of charge, I would also argue that the best software is free of unnescesary bundled junk like toolbars.
And how can it be free, if I cant alter it, cant inspect the source code, etc?
To me, it is free of charge. But it isnt much more free than that in that sense.

Yes, CCleaner does work on Windows 98.
-
It doesnt use any encryption at all. File wiping dont use encryption.
It uses DoD 5220.22-M and some NSA thing and some custom.

But for most people, "Normal file deletion" is good enough.

I rather just use Notepad.
Maybe that Google Notebook store the text on the serverside then Google got access to all your notes. No thanks, praying eyes off!
-
Rather wait until the beta becomes stable.
And stick with Firefox.

Sounds like you got spyware on your computer that wants you to download a rouge anti-spyware software. Dont visit the website that the spyware tells you to goto.
Use CWShredderer, ewido, HijackThis.
-
Stay away from betas. Especially betas such as IE which integrated with the whole system.
Better use Firefox.
-
I am not sure, but I think that maybe it dont. It just overwrite the files several times.
If you really want secure file deletion then look into Eraser;

The EFF (Electronic Front Foundation) which protects peoples digital rights and privacy have a petition about RIAA if anyone is interested to sign it.

I agree rridgely.
For video you should use VLC or Media Player Classic.

For music I would suggest musikCube or wxMusik.

Luckily MP3 cant contain DRM.
DRM sucks. I rather have a player that cant play DRM than one that can.
Try redownload the song from another source. Maybe that file is corrupt.
-
I think it sucks that privacy is swept away all the times.
Logging/spying sucks.
-
I like SideAdvisor;
It is a cool website.
It would be cool if the search engines punished sites that contained spyware, didnt conform to web standards, etc.
-
I agree. I hate DRM-able WMA format too!
And DRM-able WMV format!
-
Nice.
I guess phone companies are getting pissed and very angry about this.
-
Yeah, the updates in AntiVir suck. You kinda have to run the installing program everytime there is an update instead of just fetching new virus database.
ClamWin is unfortunally rather slow.
But I heard about major changes gonna come to ClamWin, then hopefully it will rock.
-
Well, you cant expect a beta to work flawlessly.
Stick with Firefox!
