    I have a Iqon pc with XP professional and have Norton 360 2007 installed. Every time i switch the pc on it comes up telling me that auto protect is not on but when i put it on and apply the change it will not save it.i also run live update and it does not help. I would appreciate any help.

    Regards

    Mardee

    Get rid of it, its the worst virus You could ever put on a pc, honestly.

    I recommend Avg, Avast or Avira, all completely free

    It's a piece of sh1t, get rid of it. Almost as bad as a virus and just as difficult to remove properly.

    You need to Download and run the Norton Removal Tool:

    When I got rid of it I installed Spybot Search & Destroy and Avast (or AVG is highly recomended too).

    Thanks for your help. I have 120 days suscription left so i will hang on till it expires and then get AVG or Kerepasky.

    no seriously just get rid of it....

    i know you might have paid for norton but removing it will be like a free upgrade, so that can be your refund for not using the full year, avg is a lot better at spotting adware and is totally free too


    funnly enough norton 360 is very similar to a virus...
    badly overuses resources and hence slows you pc
    steals your credit card details and uses it to buy stuff (auto resubscribe)
    turns off your windows firewall
    turns off internet explorers phising filter
    doesn't mind sharing your system with other viruses and adware, (even though it's meant to remove them)
    can block internet explorer from viewing websites(norton does this more often then viruses)
    displays annoying pop-up messages
    can cause program not responding errors when you try to shutdown


    the program linked below will remove norton
