Open a Gmail account for free and leave all viruses (if any) on Googles server. E-mails are scanned by Google before displaying them to you....

Crash ;)

Tee-Hee.... ;D...!

Then your problems will start.... :evil....

...every two minutes the annoying chaps at Symantic Inc. will constantly remind you of the fact, and request/insist that you renew your Subscription, annually, for the rest of your life on this Planet, (or any other Planet)... :'(...!

And if you thought about un-installing it to prevent the annoyance....

...forget it...it wont happen....trust me...;)...!

A complete Format of your Hard Drive is the only way out of your misery... :o...!

Paul....AVG for Free... 8-)...!


Well Norton is already nagging with 4 days left (this nagging started 26 days ago)

Four pop-ups just then reminding me that my program is about to expire. Yeh, I sort of gathered that after the first one  >:(

Will try and remove it soon (key word, try) and fall back on my AVG. Might get the payware version if I still have an old license hanging around somewhere... I know I did have some but they might have run out.

I got a virus scanner since the first days online, back then i got a whacky download from a trusted website, wich turned out was hacked, and it ruined my system.

nowadays i find it important since my brother found out someone tried to break into our home network, since then everything has been changed, a full computer is now dedicated to scanning all the network traffic, inbound and outbound.

Norton craftily infiltrates many parts of your Registry in your Hard Drive.....and although it is possible to delete the entries, one by one, It requires GREAT CARE and a infinite knowledge of the Registry!
(Ozzy gave the instructions in one of the forums here).

Otherwise, it means Formating the Hard drive to delete the whole Registry!...which is what I had to do!!
(Uninstalling/Deleting Norton doesn't work!).

Really? I have Internet Security suite 06 or something like that and it was just as bad as Norton...
