Uninstall Norton? Seriously you have to give a few details about your system - specs, operating system, any spyware/adware solutions being used. what happened prior to this, specific error messages, etc.

What version of Norton are you using? Are you using the Firewall that comes with the utility?

    Hi all ,  

    I'm new around here. Hello to you all. Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2006 !

     [smiley=shocked.gif] You still  use Norton Antivirus ?  Yikes , I don't want to ever install that one again. Neither do I recommend people to use Norton or Mcafee.

    Norton and Mcafee suck big time.

    I use Panda Platinum Internet Security 2005 and it works well here. I use Panda for a few years now. Never had any virus since then. Used Panda Antivirus Titanium 2004 before I switched to Panda Platinum Internet Security.

    At first I had some problems with it , but now I know what was causing that , the internal built-in firewall.

    It all works well now. Panda also has TruPrevent Technologies aboard , which looks for suspicious behavior of software and also checks the processes.

    PandaSoftware rules !!!!!

    Norton is fine usually, in our experience.

    Anyone having trouble with their existing virus program might like to try the free AVG from Grisoft. Works well for us too.
