momajo1948 · 07-13-2007, 11:30 AM

hi! my name is joni from indiana - i am working on my son's laptop which has a free trial of 60 days of norton - is it worth the aggrevation? although i changed the automatic settings to permit all on iexplore - i keep getting popups asking if it's okay to permit or block?

norton's website does not support 2005 so i'm at a loss what to do? any help will be appreciated.

thank you!

Welcome To TSF.

Is it windows firewall that pops ur or notons?

Welcome to TSF

From My Experience Norton is not worth the hassle, it uses lots of system resources. My advice would be to install a free antivirus and firewall software.

Have you installed Norton 2007?

There are plenty of great free avti-virus programs that you can use.

Personally, I'd uninstall the Norton trial, it's not worth the price to buy that pig!

just to let you know - i uninstalled norton 2005 - checked out majorgeeks plus your imput and decided to go with something free - i'm using Comodo Firewall plus avg virus & avg spybot.

your input is great - i hope i do not pester you'al too much!

Yes COMMODO firewall is great, so is AVG antivirus.

What is AVG spybot? or was that just a mis typing?

Did you have any problems uninstalling Norton?

Hello! i added avg anti virus & anti spy along with spybot - someone had suggested two spy searchers? i hope thats ok - i've also added spamfighter because of numerous spam mail. if a spy has to work that hard to get in and it still does - i may as well fold up shop - or computer!
