Re: Application error at start up and Norton launch

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

I use F-Secure on 2 and AVG together with ZoneAlarm both free on another 3.
Never had a problem.
My NIS had some 9 or so months when I dumped it (and I'd used Norton through
some 5 versions)

They probably wont interfere, but likely means Norton is not working
correctly, if at all, on the problem accounts

I terminated the process and then used the removal tool.Appeared to be
working but the re-installation was a nightmare.I have been at it hours
and
after reinstallation the same problem. But one of the accounts is working
perfectly. I still have ten months on this subscription and this is why I
have persevered.
What would be another option for security.
Are these error messages going to intefere with the computer.

I finally stopped using Norton some time ago, following numerous
problems

They are Norton files; it probably means you should uninstall

then
reinstall it; or visit Symantec.com for advice
