Doggie Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 well then its not nortons fault, it only scans viruses
Burpster Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 in the settings of Norton you'll see a listing for instant messager programs ....just uncheck protect MSN and it will close fine after.

That is indeed the correct action to take.Thanks for the tip.
buletov Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 80% of Norton code is useless resource hogging crap.Just like having a worm on your computer...Try some good antivirus for a change...
N1K Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 80% of Norton code is useless resource hogging crap.Just like having a worm on your computer...Try some good antivirus for a change...I've just installed Kaspersky Anti Virus and so far is working OK, but in my opinion NOD32 is one of the best AV Programs..wonder what will Norton 2005 will offer to us??
buletov Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 it will make your computer even slower...like always with the new releases symantec products...me personaly uses avast!

buletov Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 me neither until i tryed it...you have a freeware (free registration) version on their site;small, efficient and with the fastest true-increment update system so far...here: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
CoffeeFiend Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 80% of Norton code is useless resource hogging crap.Just like having a worm on your computer...Try some good antivirus for a change...Amen to that!I use kaspersky personally, but there's other good ones (nod32, ...) In fact, I wonder if any of them are worse than norton... Probably not.
