Norton tries to delete my OS.

[Nuke]

And now the only program Norton is allowing me to use is FF.

Meanwhile my mom says it's MY fault that Norton is doing this and NOONE ELSE ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH would perfer Avast or AVG.

*furious rage*

Norton sucks, just delete it.

 

[Nuke]

I know. But it wouldn't let me take down FF for a sec to do that. Then I activated task manager and everything's ok 🙂

 

[Dasher]

So end the norton process
Go to the processes tab => Find norton.exe or something similar

It may have broke your OS. Uninstall. NOW!!

Personally, I dislike Norton. The constant reminders, the updates, the flashing toolbar really annoys me. I switched to Avast, since it doesn't have those annoying features. Just uninstall it.

It wont let him Justin. 😉

Do this,boot into safe mode,remove it,then restart.

if you mom really thinks norton is that great I suggest her looking here - http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/Norton_AntiV ... 7_2007.php

and here - http://community.norton.com/norton/boar ... e.id=65780


And you can google why norton is the worst anti virus.

Wow. I never knew Norton Antivirus would delete your entire operating system. I only know that it slows down your computer really bad, like what happened to me when I had Norton Antivirus 2006.

I agree with Dasher, ditch Norton. I use AVG Free Edition.

I download untrusted files, countless torrents and so on and only ever had 1 virus, which was due to my dad clicking a pop up which ironically installed an antivirus which was a virus.

If you have windows use Microsoft's free antivirus. Microsoft Security Essentials at http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Oh yeah leave the anti virus job to microsoft they already do a great job in that area.[/sarcasm]

Anyways at the op have you tried my suggestion?

 

[Dasher]

If you need to remove it, go into safe mode.

 

[John1]

Use Kaspersky, great on the system and never really bothers you.

🙂

 

[Dasher]

Yes, I confirm that Kaspersky is amazing.

Well on the positive side at least Norton totally recognizes Firefoxe's immortality.

Norton, bleh.... might as well have the virus

Avast
Ad-Aware
Spy-Bot Search and Destroy

AVG will work as well.

Your mom needs to read up about Norton... it's a pain.
