norton antivirus

[joker2000]

i appreciate the answers. I am trying to install NAnti.. and the same crap keeps coming up where an error is reached sometime in the installing process. Now when i put the cd in the drive the promp comes up to choose install, but then nothing else, i am no longer allowed to scan, choose anything. It seems that the program is not being allowed to install on the computer ????


any suggestions ??

Is there a reason you're using Norton?

Avast is free and uses less resources. It's every it as good as Norton.

And AVG and Antivir. Free and bothgood and can run at the same time.

[GroundZero3]

running two anti viri at the same time is a waste of system resources.

What verison of norton are you trying to run and what os are you running?

Anything that AVG misses Antivir picks up. Anyhting that Antivr would miss AVG picks it up. It's a popular set up with sysopt forum members.

do sysopt memebers really have that bad of a viri problem where they need to run two programs?

Alittle common sense and knowledge and you wont have to bog a system down.

My system is not bogged down. I dont use Norton.

Another Norton thread...Norton sucks, end of story.

Download Avast or AVG, both free and better than Norton.

Here are a few threads to browse that will help inform you a little more in the ways of Norton...
Norton vs AVG FREE Edition
Is McAfee as bad as Norton?
NORTON Removal Tool = BAD???

[beastgreeley]

Uninstall it, reboot, and install it again, see if that helps.

[elroy]

Norton has a software tool available to try and correct installations that have gone bad. This is a far to common occurence. Look around on their website. What version are you working with? 2003, 2004, 2005 ? Don't expect any tech support from Norton, they don't provide any.
I'm with all the other members try Avast! or AVG. Nobody here uses Norton.

You will see an improvement in system performance without norton.

i downloaded the boot image of suse 10.0 and now i am trying to install it, since it can't be opened in windows i simply went to boot menu and tryed to boot from the ide-cdrom but it just goes into windows, what am i doint wrong ???? how do i install suse10.0 , where would i go and what would i do ????

thank you

[jman01pa]

Did you uncompress the suse file before copying it to the cd or just copy the single file?

Is your bios set to boot from cd rom?

[joker2000]

i just downloaded the boot image, unless it automatically compressed, which i doubt, then i just downloaded it, the boot.iso file is what i have, i am a newbie so you will have to be fluent in "ignorant" or dumb things down... i also am unsure what it means when i have to record the ip address and path of repository and where would i find this ???

[GroundZero3]

you burn the iso to a cd using nero or another cd burning program.

[joker2000]

i already downloaded the boot.iso and burned it to a cd, i am trying to install it now, what is the process for installing the cd, i need to know to install it,, step by step!!

Well, as the title suggests, Norton murdered my last PC;

I still have it, for no real reason other than to remind me never to use Norton again. My system got so bogged down it eventually gave up on me. Stupid cruddy Win 2K. Still, I got a new one for £20 so I'm all happy. Seriously guys, come to a UK computer fair for good cheap stuff;

Intel P4 1.95 Ghz
512 MB DDR RAM
ATI RADEON 9600 128 Mb
50 Gb HDD
DVD ROM and DVD RW drives
Win XP Pro SP2

All for £20 just cuz the guy got a new PC!!

[orkboss]

Was that £20 for win XP disk as well? Sounds a great buy.

[lhsonic]

I use F-Secure

It's good, I like it...

No, the PC came with XP on it. I downloaded a new XP disk from limewire tho.

Felt like a great buy then and it still does now. But I still hate Norton.
