Is my computer the most infected in the world ever???
« on: February 03, 2008, 03:53:24 PM »
Just a quick note.

I am running the advice in "the what to do before you ask questions part of the forum" and waiting on the downloads completing.
Just to let you know how bad this stupid machine of mine really is here are a few examples:

1, I have Norton360 that keeps turning Auto-Protect off but live support tells me everything is OK with my system. Eventually it tells me to uninstall then reinstall (which i have done a thousand times to no avail). It then threatens me with a "browsing not safe" sign everytime i go online.

2, I have One Click clean up which freezes every time it i try to run it.

3, My DVD Rom drive did not work for 2 weeks (for no apparent reason it said my divice driver was goosed and would not update it)) till someone from this site set it right.

If i don't need to buy a new machine and get this stupid thing to work like its meant to it will be miracle.

I am new to this forum and hope someone can help.

Any news (good or bad) i will keep you posted.

The good news is we can most likely get things sorted out.

The bad news is Norton.

Try this. Use the Norton Removal Tool to completely uninstall Norton. Then try to reinstall it.

A better suggestion would be to uninstall it and download the free version of AVG or Avast and try to forget you even know what Norton or Symantec is.

No we are not fans of the product. There are too many reasons to list in one post.
