Hi All,

Yes I too installed Norton Internet Security and its already driving my crazy. It takes forever to download e-mails, for it it to boot and little messages pop up all the time to tell me how good it was that I spent $120 on it.

Help please if you can, I used to play on a Java site called pogo. Now that I installed Internet security it wont recognise my java applets. I've clicked rebooted and lowered my security settings but no good. If anyone has any help I would be extremely grateful.

thanks Macca.

when you vist the game site, please do not log in. Click the Norton Internet Security tool bar in Internet Explorer and uncheck the options to block ads and pop ups and then try loggin in
 
Ok...I have read through all the posts on this topic and have downloaded AVG and Zone Alarm and uninstalled Nortons...I am using firefox...Spike, Realblackstuff and Howard...I trust your advice 100%. Zone alarm is telling me that I have no anti-virus on my computer and TuneUp Utilities is telling me I have no anti-spam...Computer Help, post 86 say's I should use AVast and Spike suggests Kerio, do I install both?
 
your problem may be that you have the firewall configured to block Active-X and Java applets which are required fro many internet games to run, try lowerin the firewall security levels and then retry the games
 
Can I reinstall NIS without losing updates?

Hi there. I'm having trouble with my NIS and the only solution seems to be to reinstall. Problem is, it's been installed for 8 months and I just don't want to reinstall all the updates downloaded since then. Is there a way I can back up these updates and reinstall them into a clean version of NIS 2005? Thanks for your help.
 
I am pretty sure that you will have to download them all over again. At least with more programs that is the way it works because if you are going to reinstall you should uninstall the program first and then install again. Although you really should think about getting rid of the Norton stuff.

The best answer is to get rid of that norton crap!!

Download either the free AVG or Avast antivirus programmes and either the free Zonealarm or Kerio firewall programmes from within this link - https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

Then, disconnect from the net and completely uninstall Symantec/Norton. If you have any problems in uninstalling the programme, take a look at this thread - https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic57112.html

Once you`ve completely uninstalled Symantec/Norton, reboot your system and install whichever firewall programme you chose, followed by whichever antivirus programme you chose. Reboot your system the required number of times and reconnect to the net. Run the antivirus updates.
 
the only norton I can recommend is Norton corporate or norton systemworks 2003 and earlier.
 
Yeah Norton is a piece of crap, I tell my mom that all the time and she says "It's the best antivirus program out there!!!!11" then I go along with it then one day I scanned her laptop and found like 200 viruses but since norton is so good I didnt delete them :haha: ( I know it's mean but she thinks norton is alot better then Avast! / AVG so.. eh ;) )
 
lol ok Rik, when she gets home i'll put it there and i'll even show her the link to the thread to delete it

I mean... If there is a program to get rid of Norton then it MUST be bad :haha:
 
Introductions

Hi,
I am new to this forum and look forward to working with everyone. Currently I am having a problem when Norton Internet Security is turn on I am having problem with accessing the internet. Look like the 2005 Norton has some bug in this area. Any work about will be greatly appreciate.
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Maybe you should consider getting rid of Norton altogether and using something else?

Here is a list of free antivirus and firewall programmes as well as some free antispyware programmes that I recommend.

AVG free or Avast antivirus programmes.

Zonealarm or Kerio free firewall programmes.

Spybot Search & Destroy.

Ad-Aware se personal.

Spyware Blaster.

AVG Antispyware.

Ccleaner.

You would need to download whichever antivirus and firewall programme you chose, then disconnect from the net and uninstall Norton. If you have any problems in uninstalling Norton, see this thread HERE.

Then, once Norton is completely uninstalled, reboot your system and install whichever firewall programme you chose, followed by whichever antivirus programme you chose.

Reboot your system the required number of times and reconnect to the net. Run the antivirus updates.

If you still have net problems after that, then open a new thread in our storage and networking forum.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:
