I won't let anybody near my PC with Norton or AOL both made a previous PC run like a slug and it was a complete nightmare to get rid of. I use the free AVG

I just upgraded my sister-in-law's PC by getting rid of Norton. Put AVG on it instead, and it's running twice as fast now...

So you weren't sure if it was a dodgy copy? How? either you know its legit( and have a license sticker) or you don't?

And as soon as you tried to validate it you got battered with Viruses...

I don't think even Microsoft would stoop that low! :D

Still, it must be fun having to worry about all this crap....... :rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

I was using the wife's computer and found that it was running Norton in the taskbar and I presume that she hadn't put it there as I had already set up a clutch of defensive systems to keep her computer clean (including the above-mentioned AVG). Seems weird that Norton suddenly seems to be invading people's computers as I know for a fact it wasn't part of the initial build of that install and no disks have been run in it for a couple of months.

Norton or symatec has been an intergral part of widoze for some years, and it takes some getting rid of.

Since when did Windows come with Norton built in? :confused:

It might come installed with a new PC but it is not part of Windows XP

WINME, WINXP, its on both disks and installs with windoze, you have no options, I think its on WIN98 as well.

Microsoft would not do that. If you do not have a legit copy it does affect the updates you can download - many of those are security fixes. Maybe that is what you have experianced.
