RE: Norton Internet Security and Windows Security Center

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I had NOrton on Windows 2000 and after buying and installing Windows XP , I
started having having all kinds of problems with warnings . I went to
Norton's website and contacted them . I found out that a lot of people were
having the same problem and that I should have unintalled Norton first ,
installed Windows XP and then reinstalled Norton . Like I'm a " Genius " . I
went to search and typed in Norton , I got so many folders . I even got
folders labeled Symantec . Symantec owns Norton . You can also go to
Symantec's website . Do Not Uninstall or delete anything concerning Norton
until you go to SEARCH . Type in NOrton , Symantec , and anti-virus just to
see what you have . I just uninstalled what I found in " Add and Remove
Programs " but that did not work . I still have a little warning that comes
around once in a while called Norton.LGC . After your search , look for the
Uninstall Application . What you want to do is Uninstall Norton completely
and then Reinstall it if you want to . I will never use Norton again . It
almost ruined my system . I don't know how experienced you are but if you
have any doubts about it then go to www.norton.com or www.symantec.com and
look for contact or help and send them a message letting them know what your
problem is and they will email you back with instructions . It was too late
for me but maybe you can get some help and it will work . Good Luck , Pat
