Smoked Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Should I unistall Norton 360 and install AVG free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I would. But I'm me and you're you. (Actually, I wouldn't install AVG, I'd use my own preference.) Why would you want to uninstall Norton? Are you unhappy with it? Subscription about to run out? Borked your OS? Those are the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarq57 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I feel like I got somethin that norton isnt finding.... Cureit by DrWeb is a pretty good demand malware scanner for second opinions. Requires no install, runs from the download location. Last but not least (hopefully) Norton, notorious for being intolerant of other security apps, shouldn't have a hissy about it. Are there specific symptoms, or is it just the usual background paranoia, elevated a tad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2008 Cureit by DrWeb is a pretty good demand malware scanner for second opinions. Requires no install, runs from the download location. It still writes registry data though, even though it doesn't install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoked Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Pc is very slow, I use Norton 360, Adaware Pro with adwatch, and spybot search and destroy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Has it always been slow? Or just since installing Norton360, or AdAware? Or just slowed down recently, an apparent random thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shresht Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Try uninstalling Norton 360, restart a couple of times, and if there isn't much of a speed difference, there's something else bogging you down. (THIS is assuming you have a means to install it again, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you do decide to uninstall Norton 360 it may be best to use Symantec's Norton 360 removal tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun. Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Another vote here to trash Norton 360. I'll admit that it has improved from it's predecessors, but not by much. Uninstall it, run SymNRT and purge it from your system, then get avast and enjoy a faster computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOULJA-kol Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 And Avast! is way way better then AVG lol and Kaspersky(which i use) is way,way,way, better than AVAST.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 and Kaspersky(which i use) is way,way,way, better than AVAST.. I would gladly use Kaspersky but as I'm on a limited pension and its $59.95US cost would buy me quite a bit of food and I don't own a credit card so it makes it a bit hard to pay for it.

Tarun. Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 There is a perfectly legal way to get Kaspersky, YoKenny. There was a promotion recently where they gave out keys for free. If you would like one let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would like one let me know. I just read an interesting discussion in a Windows IE newsgroup about a problem I was having with IE7 hanging my system when trying to start it up after the system was idle for a while. I would like to use Kaspersky and hopefully by the time I have to renew the license I will have enough money to pay for the update.
