so 2day i try do a couple things to it, and it dose nothing i can only see my wall paper thats it nothing else comes up...so i hit ctrl alt-delete and luckly it brings up the task manager so i try to start Norton again and it said system fail please re-start...i re-start and do it all over again and the same things happens........................................... ...........so when i leave work today im going have to do wipe the whole comp clean and start all over again :'(..........there go's all my ---- for school,all my autocad drawings for my portfoilo................... :1 :1

Thats odd because that program came on my laptop and I have NEVER had an issue with it. It always detects the other stuff that other programs didn't.

It's common knowledge than Norton is the most bloated antivirus software out there and can cause a ton of problems.

I've used many other programs and can tell you that Kaspersky and AVG are the best. I use AVG right now.

you prolly didnt have system restore activated

also norton sucks unless you keep everything up to date... and even then its not fool proof

fool proof 80% of the time = hijackthis + diskclean up + bug off + spybot s&d

fool proof 100% of the time = leeeenux

Norton is for the boob computer user that knows nothing about computers.

Burn a linux live cd to boot onto (ubuntu is good), then burn all your important ---- to a disc. Problem solved.

I agree with Jago, I've always used Kaspersky or AVG.
