Your system will be faster as a result.

I would suggest that you remove Norton and install Threat fire.

Answer 2

First thing you should do is go to control panel, then add/remove programs. Find Anything that says Norton and remove it. Wipe out that piece of c**p norton.

Then go and purchased McAfee antivirus and download, install and update both Ad-aware from lavasoft and Superantispyware from www.superantispyware.com.  trust me your pc experience will be a lot better without Norton installed.

Answer 4

I'd like to set the record straight. Norton does suck, to put it bluntly. I would suggest you remove it. However this software IS NOT a virus or spyware. However Norton Security is really no help.

Any type of virus, malware or spyware will compromise your computer. The only thing you should worry is adequate protection.

Install AVG or Avast (both are free... only use one) and please uninstall Norton as the security center is a poor player.

Answer 5

I have Norton Internet Security and I think that it is awesome and I have not had any problems with it since I had it installed over a year ago. but to each his own and everyone has their own favorite antivirus protection program.  No one can see your files unless they are on your computer, or a computer hacker, etc. Here is what spyware does. pyware is used to monitor your computer activity, gathering personal information such as, user name, passwords, account numbers, files, and even driver's license or social security number. Some spyware just monitors a person's Internet behavior, like tracks the places you visit and the things you do on the web. That is why it is so important to use a good spyware program because it will protect te computer from such things from happing.  Just make sure to keep your windows updated, your antivirus program updated and run a full system scan at least once a week, also run a scan with you spyware program at least once a week, and when you keep these program running then you are good to go (smile)
