I am wondering if anyone has had issues with Norton Internet Security 2007? About a week ago my auto protect turned off. I tried turning it on, but it would not and gave me an error. After the second error it said to uninstall and reinstall Norton. I tried that but it will not reinstall. I contacted Symantec and they have been trying to figure it out. Of course that is like 5 different people and well over 15 hours of them working on my computer. The last 2 people said they needed to research the error and get back to me. I really need to get this fixed wheather they can help me or not. I can not wait another week. Any advice? Thanks!

Never mind. Took my computer back to factory settings and started over.

I have one suggestion for you: dump Norton. It's a memory and resource hog and more trouble than it is worth. Windows comes with a decent firewall and anti-spyware package and free AV software will round it out nicely, without the sluggishness that Norton gives.

Do you have a link?

I've heard that's pretty good. I use Avast. Updates itself automatically all the time.

I just went to download.com and AVG has 63 M downloads and Avast has 18 M downloads. Cnet gave them both 5 starts. The users gave Avast a 4.5 rating vs. AVG 4.0 rating. I guess I will just try both! Thanks for the help guys.

Do they provide updates to protect from new viruses? yes, they do. keep in mind that no anti-virus or spyware removal tool is perfect, and your own surfing, downloading, etc, habits will have a major role in how clean of malware your computer remains.
