Problems With Norton Internet Security

I Just Installed Norton Internet Security And When I Try To Access The Internet My System Just Freezes.

I Need Help.

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 - http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic58138.html

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 - http://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.

To anyine that is thinking of installing norton, please have a read of this before you do - http://www.computergripes.com/nortonantivirus2004.html

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 )

Show her my link, if that doesn't put her off nothing will!!!!

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.
