Antivirus software

I need to remove the old anti-virus software BEFORE I can download again? I have Norton (came with my computer) and I want Macaffee. And how? I'm a little computer illiterate...

Thank you!

Hello

Please allow me to add 1 more thing: you need Norton Removel tool to uninstall Norton properly. You can download this:

  • How can I avoid firefox reset my browser preferences when my antivirus software scans my computer

    Starting on 19/02/2013 every time that my antivirus software scans my computer (per day), various Firefox browser preferences are being reset. (It seems that Firefox can be reset to the default value.) My home page is reset to mozilla etc...

    I have reset Firefox, un-installed and re-installed Firefox to no avail.
    Each time the computer is scanned my browser preferences are lost.
    

    The following information system:
    Windows 7 pro 64-bit
    AVG antivirus 2013 current build.

    Firefox v19.
    

    I don't remember anyone to another report that AVG has done this. In fact, it would be useful to know exactly what did AVG. Your home page is stored in a file named prefs.js in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). It deletes this file? Replacement of a 'clean' copy it right? He characterizes the read-only file so that your changes are not saved between sessions?

    Could you make a backup copy of your profile folder if you have around comparison after running the analysis? You will need to store on a USB key and it is not be analyzed, too.

    To access this folder, you can use

    Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

    Navigate from one level to Ctrl + drag the folder to the destination of the copy.

  • Avast! Writes to the SSD much antivirus software during scan

    Hi guys,.

    I have installed avast! Antivirus on my Mac, do not protect my Mac specifically, but to keep it to pass on the Windows malware to other computers or on my Windows partition. When the full analysis of the system, I notice that he reads a lot of data in the player (that I know), but it saves up to 40 GB of data in the SSD at the end of the analysis! I know writing excessively on the SSD can shorten their life (although I tried to calculate its expected service life using my daily writing, and I should have at least another 10 years of use, which is more than enough).

    My point being, why is avast! write on the disk so during a scan? Is it caused by a heuristic analysis or something? I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on my SSD, even though I know that Apple SSD are generally pretty durable.

    Thank you.

    Note: Please don't give me a conference on the installation of antivirus software on Mac - I know that this is not strictly necessary but I explain why I use it at the beginning of my post.

    Your windows contacts can take care of themselves. He has no need of you to your Mac protecting wear.

    Your Mac is already well protected without that avast garbage making it unstable.

  • I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart

    I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart it.

    I use windows xp on my host computer and all computers in my client. After that I uninstalled the free trial NIS version and restart my host, I lost the internet connection. Tried to restore with the restoration of the system, but when I restarted it, it said the system restore could not be made. I changed it then with my laptop and I can connect to the internet as the host.

    Hello

    This can happen if the uninstall process fails and leaves behind a Symantec registry value. See the following Symantec article.

    Unable to connect to the Internet after uninstalling Norton AntiVirus.

    http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/NAV.nsf/8d071816eedd7cac88256c0e005a96e5/751c3298ab99cf7188256d34006702e2?OpenDocument

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • which antivirus software will work with a new processor 64-bit with 32 bit xp pro?

    Insalled new computer with an older version of xp pro 32 bit and a 64-bit processor.  Need a compatible Antivirus software.  Avast and AVG locked system does not load.

    Any of them, the operating system is what determines if you use a 64-bit anti-virus program not the processor. Lock-up questions do not sound like they are a related program.

    Did you just install a new processor? All programs are locked up? Uninstall Avast and reinstall, see if that helps.

    Download MSE and install it.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware).
