• Satellite P200D-128 - Question about installed Norton anti-virus

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200D-128 last week and to say I'm majorly annoyed with Toshiba would be an understatement, and that understatement. Fine machine autoinstalled as its operating system, and I found I had Norton anti-virus installed, or at least I thought I had because a beautiful Norton logo quicklink arrived on my desk.

  In fact, only a partial shell of Norton installed and actually have an anti-virus properly functioning to connect on the site of Norton. This arrangement is just stupid, because I am well aware, surf the Internet without effective antivirus / anti-malware is not a question of if the computer will get infected, but when the computer will be infected.
  I have the experience to build my own desktop PC, and basically what I do is install an anti-virus package from the DVD drive with a front disc even connect the machine to the internet and then update the anti-virus software anti-virus Internet home before that I would all navigation on the web.

  Not only have a Norton Quicklink on the center of office crazy to think one has a functioning entirely anti-virus / anti-malware installed, but the partial shell of fools Norton also Windows Vista security in thinking there are a lot of anti-virus installed and it also disables the alert windows system that will remind the user of the computer if there is no antivirus installed package.

  This situation should never have been raised and I think it's a shame. Also criminal elements no doubt major behind the likes of malware, which struck upward on the ploy clever to have infected unsuspecting computer user with malicious software, which uses then the malware to put up a false messages of Windows operating system, which informs the user of the computer has been infected and asking them to download a fake anti-virus packages , must be particularly delighted with this situation, in that a user will be once they see such a message may well click the link of Norton and probably find their Norton is only a partial shell and then install one of the packages most likely fake anti-virus.

  If Toshiba and Norton had deliberately set to infect the computers of users with viruses and other malware, it is difficult to see how they could have done a better job of it, unless they had pre-installed viruses and malware themselves on the computer.
  I wonder, this case went to Toshiba and/or / attention of Norton and if so, what they had to say for themselves?

  Concerning the best and warm

  PS I forgot to mention that the partial shell package Norton also implements a toolbar in their browser, which reinforces even more the (false) impression that we have a fully functional package of the antivirus installed

  Hey Buddy

  I m bit confused about your ad and how you wrote this.

  I would like to mention a few facts:
  I m a Satellite P200 owner (it s even as P200, but with Intel the piece) and my laptop is equipped with the Norton Internet Security program.
  Of course, it s a subscription for 90 days, but it s a functional full version.

  Everything is pre-installed, but you need to configure and create a Norton account.
  I know because I read the instructions and information that are stored on my laptop.

  If you would in a full version of Norton Internet Security, you must create this account also.
  So you must connect to the internet also if you n t have an Antivirus Program preinstalled to set this up.

  Of course it must be updated also with the Internet because the antivirus definition file changes almost every time and the internet connection is required for this update.
  Why is it necessary? Because the image of Toshiba has designed several weeks ago and, therefore, the antivirus definition files is not updated.

  The same thing happens if you don t use the laptop for several weeks and don t perform the update of the operating system or antivirus.
  Don t wonder, therefore, you must connect to the internet to get everything updated.

  Please don t be angry with me, but I have my own opinion, you are one of the users who don t read the manual of the user or any other information that are equipped with Notepad and could be interesting for the use of the computer laptop but only start Notepad, install a few 3rd party apps and don t configure the operating system that is stored on the laptop.

  So I think that we could avoid this discussion if you read and check all detailed ;)

• Norton Anti virus in Satellite L40

  Hello! I am new user of L40 series and the built in Norton AntiVirus which I could not receive a product key.

  How can I have the product key for norton anti virus? next week's expiration.

  Master's right. It is the trial that Toshiba offers to protect the laptop from the beginning of the first. You have, I believe, 90 days for testing and if you like it you must purchase a valid license. Otherwise remove it from the system and use some other favorite anti virus application.

• I started using a video converter. To convert YouTube to Mp3 Music. Is that going to be a problem for my computer somehow? I have Norton Anti virus.

  The only thing that makes me think it would be a problem. Is that my Norton Anti virus has arisen with a high use of the computer. I know I've read online others with this nuisance with NAV. It worries me just because of what I do.  :)

• System Restore and Norton anti-virus (WIN 7)

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone had a solution or thought about this challenge: when I go to restore a system restore time, I get an error message indicating that it cannot restore because of an anti-virus program.   Does this mean I have to disable the program before anti-virus I try to restore the system?  And I have to disable the anti-virus program when I create a new restore Point?

  Thank you

  Norton products have a safety feature that prevents outside programs change the Norton product. This security feature can prevent the Windows system restore from changing Norton files, which translates as a "Restoration incomplete" message

• Re: norton anti-virus software

  I have laptop Pavilion g6 that has norton pre-installed on it. I want to remove it and use Microsoft Defender who was lost. I would be grateful for advice on how to do it. If I remove Norton Defender will activate or do I need to download this?

  Hello

  Yes, Defender should automatically resume after you have uninstalled Norton.

  To uninstall Norton, this in the usual way by opening windows control panel, open programs and features, look for the entry of Norton, cela a right-click and select uninstall.

  When it has finished, reboot the computer and let Windows load fully.

  If you find the Defender has not activated, download and run the tool Norton removal on the following link.

  When I installed the Norton Anivirus with spy software with my winows xp operating system, the computer has been significantly slower and periodically would be ' freexe for about 15 seconds on several occasions.  Are there other antivirus programs that would be more compatible?  Thank you.

  Norton Antivirus has the reputation of hogging resources, which can have a negative impact on older computers.  McAfee would probably not be better.

  Appropriate alternatives could include Microsoft Microsoft Security Essentials or the free version of Avast Antivirus.  If you prefer to pay for security software, you can consider ESET NOD32 Antivirus or Kaspersky.

  You should Google for reviews and comparison tables.

  However, you should never use more than one antivirus program resident on your computer at any time.  Therefore, you must uninstall and remove all traces of Norton, before you try to install or use any other program AV.
