Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
I used the Norton Removal tool yesterday ...first it asked me to use WindowsXP uninstaller to remove Ghost...then it proceeded and with that rebooted. Boot was ok but XP hung on shutdown ...only solution was to reinstall Norton 2003 (without Ghost and without NAV) and run Norton WinDoctor which must have fixed it as there were lots of errors shown. Now winXP boots and shuts down fine. I am loath to uninstall Norton2003 again ...any thoughts about this? -Original Message- From: Michel Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 2:56 PM To: 'rlsimon' Subject: RE: removing Norton Dunno, sorry.

If it or Symantec is preinstalled I remove them. They tend to wrap their weasely tentacles around the registry, leave lingering hooks and DLLs that make them a mess to uninstall. Sometimes you wind up forced to use their deletion application because the regular uninstall fails. That was what kicked off this whole thread -- a user unable to remove NAV cleanly. When Norton just did utilities they were okay, I don't think security is their forte, especially the Internet bundle like you mentioned. Considering the trouble they put you through my personal opinion is you are better off to scrap it all and pick best-of-breed products you prefer. A lot of folks like Avast (free); I'm partial to Trend Micro's PC-Cillin (about the same price as NAV), but to each his own. If you don't want to use the Windoze firewall try Zone Alarm, another freebee. And you really have to run multiple spyware removal products if you want to keep out the slime that can show up on your system. It seems like no single product gets everything. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. -Mike __ Michel David Lowe -Original Message- From: rlsimon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 1:30 PM To: 'Michel Lowe' Cc: 'Computer Guys Announcements and Discussion List' Subject: RE: removing Norton I have Norton SystemWorks 2003 on my winXPsp2 box which ran like sludge with 256mb ram and 40gb hdd about 3/4 full ...upgraded to 1gb ram and 120gb hdd with plennya space and ran like sludge ...uninstalled NAV and put on Avast ...runs like a top (although, the Opera browser seems to linger until Avast is finished dld of the latest signature file)!! ...I sometimes use Norton WinDoctor to look for errors cuz it fixes them without too much follderoll (I suppose) ...otherwise, ghost was a real pain to use with my external 120gb hdd I have for backup ...I simply do it myself from time to time although I did dld a free custom b/u routine that looks gud but didn't use it yet (lazy me)...

Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
I bought one of the Dell laptops Walmart had on their Black Friday Ad (a really nice unit) and we set it up when we got home to get updates and register it. (It is being put away until graduation) It had Norton on it fresh from the factory and one of the first things I instructed my wife to do was remove it. Put Avast on it. Came with 2 GB ram, Home Premium and a DVD/CD burner. Stewart At 09:55 AM 11/30/2007, you wrote: Not much of a point, really.

Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
Why do millions of people use something crappy and smile about it? They have been educated, or trained, or raised to believe that the substandard is the norm and have lowered their expectations about performance. I'm speaking in general here, not about NAV. [rant] fill in the blanks [health insurance coverage, foreign policy, domestic policy, political fundraising, tax codes, trade policy, penal system, operating system X, application W, system utility Y, electoral college,food supply safety, toy safety, social policy, two party systems, fast food, the price of oil and petroleum products, air quality ] [/rant] I'l sometimes put a machine I'm working on with a Brand Y operating system into a diagnostic or 'safe mode' and the performance will increase by three times or more. I then ask myself: Isn't this how it should be in 'normal' startup? Yes, performance will vary from machine to machine because of CPU speed and RAM memory, but on the same machine, when it operates three or four times better, that's a substantial increase in performance. I'm sure if I loaded DOS as the OS onto the machine that it would scorch my eyeballs out from the sheer blazing speed. As to NAV, People want to be safe. It is inconceivable that you can have all three: safety, reliability , and speed simultaneously. It is unfathomable that a safety product could cause problems as well as fix them.

Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
The problem is that Norton has an awful history recently. It's not so much just the antivirus but installing the whole suite that causes problems. They keep adding things to get check boxes in reviews that may not be written as well as other things in the suite. One klunker can ruin the whole package if you don't have options to install the bits and pieces separately. You can do better than Norton for free in the antivirus world.

How do you know that *anyone* is using the complete Norton suite without any trouble? I certainly don't know that. In my personal experience, helping solve computer problems, 9 out of 9 times I worked with someone using the full Norton suite, including antivirus, removing that was the only long-term solution. I suspect most people who have it learn to live with the problems. In fact, I would say most home computers have problems on them (maybe not most Linux or Mac) and people learn to live with them. I find this all the time. Even people I thought were computer savvy have all kinds of problems I notice right away when I use their computers.

Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
Millions use NAV because the manufacturers ship you their PC with it already installed. rant You will also find links to game sites, AOL, and lord knows what all else pre-loaded. If you are computer literate you delete all that junk. Most consumers just keep using -- and paying for -- whatever AV is installed on their computer. That's why the AV companies pay the manufacturers to preload it on the computer. That's why you have to waste hours the day it arrives removing crap you didn't order off your brand new fresh-out-of-the-Cosmoline computer before you can install the stuff you want and start using it. /rant Sorry, I've bought four new laptops in the last year and a half.
