norton 2005???

norton is the problem!!

 

[PuMpKaN]

Really? Anyone else go ttheir opinion on norton?I thought it was good

 

[Ste]

Ya, Ill bet if you uninstall Norton for AVG youll see a huge increase in preformence.

May also want to scan with Spybot Search and Destroy: and Adware SE personnel.

 

[PuMpKaN]

alrite, soon as my bro comes home, i hope today ill have him do that. Hese good with comps :/

 

[Ste]

Its not that hard!

First close norton in task bar then uninstall it from add/remove programs then download AVG, install it, update it. BAM

then you may want to use regseeker to remove whatever registry entires norton left behind.

 

[PuMpKaN]

just use limewire to download it?
And if yes.....what one?

 

[Ste]

Limewire. LOL

No, just google it.
