I have already downloaded Norton Antivirus, but now whenever I try and open Norton, it just fades away and never opens. I have Windows 7, and I had a downloadable version, not by the cd. So anyone that knows how to fix this, please help.

Hi,
This is Mike from the Norton Authorized Support Team.
It sounds like you have either software conflict or an incomplete installation of Norton. Make sure that you do not have any other rel-time security applications instilled, s they can cause conflicts with Norton.
Follow the instructions below to properly remove and then reinstall Norton AntiVirus.
1. Click on the following link to download the Norton Removal Tool:

2. After you run the tool, please restart your computer. Then log in to Windows again and run the removal tool again. Restart your computer after it is finished running the second time as well.
3. Click on the link below and then choose the “Download” button under Norton AntiVirus to download the latest installer.

4. After the instillation is complete, launch Norton AntiVirus nd complete Full System Scan to check for infections.
Thanks,

AVG from Grisoft is a great one. I’ve used it for about 5 years now.
They have a free version too.

Have you switched from Norton Antivirus to a different anti-virus software and got better results?
Question by Dre D: Have you switched from Norton Antivirus to a different anti-virus software and got better results?
I’ve heard from a lot of people that Norton Antivirus is a very “heavyweight” antivirus program; it slows down your computer a lot. Has anybody switched anti-virus programs and experienced this while having good protection from viruses?

What type of antivirus should I get on a Mac running XP with Bootcamp?
Question by Chevita127: What type of antivirus should I get on a Mac running XP with Bootcamp?
I just got a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6 and windows XP Home through bootcamp. I plan to use surf the web in both platforms. What type of antivirus would do the best job? Is it recommended to install one antivirus for each OS? Does it make a difference if I choose to run XP with Parallels instead of bootcamps?
Best answer:
Answer by cory2107
Here is Microsoft’s page for security providers:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/antivirus-partners/windows-xp.aspx
You will only need antivirus in Windows, at the moment. If you run in Parallels, you will still need antivirus. I would recommend something like Kaspersky or Trend Micro. They’re really good, efficient, and they are extremely accurate. They also catch many types of viruses that most programs like Norton will just “leave behind.”
Microsoft Security Essentials is also a very good one and it is made by Microsoft themselves. If you’re looking for a fully featured security suite that doesn’t cost you a dime (it’s free), MS Security Essentials is for you.

What’s the difference between an anti-virus and an anti-spyware program?
Question by Sam: What’s the difference between an anti-virus and an anti-spyware program?
So at the moment, I only have a program which says it’s anti spyware (Webroot Spy Sweeper) and was wondering if it also would protect my computer against viruses (and then I wondered what the difference between an Anti-Virus and an Anti-Spyware is). So if SpySweeper doesn’t protect against viruses should I get an anti-virus program? And would it mess up my computer with two security programs, because I’ve heard that if you have two Anti-Viruses on the same computer it will mess up things.
Thanks for any answers.

Answer by Beto N
An antivirus program will protect you from getting any viruses on your computer, and antispyware will concentrate on the spyware programs but will also detect viruses once you already have gotten them, antivirus will reflect and antispyware will remove once you already have them. you cannot have 2 antivirus programs but you can have an anitvirus and an antispyware. for example you can have norton and superantispyware but not norton and mcaffee.

What antivirus lets you know which websites are bad and which ones are good?
Question by Jay: What antivirus lets you know which websites are bad and which ones are good?
I recently had Mcafee and it would tell me which websites were bad by having a red letter x beside the site and it let me know which ones were good by having a green check mark beside the good sites.
Is there any other antivirus software that does this?

What Is A Good Anti Spyware That I Can Buy?
I need to buy a good anti spyware for my PC. I do not want anyone recommending free ones over the net; instead I am looking for one I can buy from future-shop or best buy. What are some good brands? how much do they cost? I am also running Norton in order to protect my computer from viruses; whatever I get has to be compatible with that.
