• Windows Defender and Norton Internet Security? What are the differences, and that I would be better off with NIS.___NIS it has automatic connections which is great.___Thank you. Dennis__

  None

  Windows Defender is an antispyware software.  In itself, it does not all the protection your computer needs.

  Norton Internet Security is a suite of programs, including antivirus, antispyware, firewall, antispam and others.

  Windows 7 consumer security software providers shows those and other opportunities.

  I'm not a fan of security suites.  On my computer, I use the free program of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and antispyware protection integrated in Windows 7 is Windows Firewall .

• Problems with the closure, by opening the Task Manager and Norton Internet Security. Help, please!

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Until Monday, there is no problem whatsoever with my computer at all. I have not installed or uninstalled, whatever it be, changed settings, done anything differently with my computer. Suddenly it now "hangs" on the screen of closing down. I'll try to reboot or stop using the menu start, and it will stay on this screen indefinitely. Now, I have to manually turn off the computer. I spent on the Support page and studied the Performance issues, and all I get is I have Visual settings that interfere with closing... except my Visual settings have not changed in any way. In addition, I can not properly update my computer or do a system restore because the computer will shut down.

  In addition, the Task Manager will appear no more. I'll press ctrl alt del and nothing appears, just the green icon in the corner of the screen. If I try to right click, no response.

  I tried to do a full system scan in Norton Internet Security but she "leaves" scanning. It will scan correctly when I'm in safe mode, but it comes with no virus, trojan or other problem.

  So in essence, I tried everything I can think of to fix my computer nothing works. It was working perfectly before this week. I have no idea where to go. Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

   

   

  Method 1.
  First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.

   

  Method 2.

  Step A.

  Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts.

  Troubleshooting in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshooting-problems-while-in-safe-mode

   

  Step B.

  If it starts on the desktop in safe mode and then set your computer to the clean boot and check if it starts successfully. If it starts successfully can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

  
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.

   

   

  Method 3.
  I recommend to run the restore of the system in safe mode and check if it works very well.
  Reference:
  System Restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
  Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

   

   

  I hope this helps.

• HP Envy M6 Simplepass finger reader will not work after you uninstall Norton internet security.

  I've seen a few problems to do with the drive of finger and Norton internet security, but I couldn't find a solution to the problem. I looked on biometric devices and it says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »
  
  I've been on the re HP Recovery section - install drivers and applications and reinstalled the HP Simplepass program, but I do not uninstall before that I did and that's maybe why it did not work.
  
  What to do to make the finger drive working again?
  
  Kind regards
  
  Maddie

  Ok. So I got a new laptop that has a fingerprint sensor. I opened the Recovery Manager and see that there are TWO pieces of software that need to be installed/reinstalled.
  (1) the validity of the pilot sensor of fingerprint in the drivers section.
  (2) the SimplePass software in the software section.
  
  Most of the drivers and software in the Recovery Manager do not need to be uninstalled first - the installation package should do this automatically.
  
  If you have not already done so, install the driver of validity using Recovery Manager and restart your computer.

• How to reinstall Norton Internet Security that was originally installed

  Hello!
  I have a Satellite M40-148 and I need to reinstall Norton Internet Security that was installed initially. I have the DVD-rom of recovery of the product, the additional software CD and I still have the TOOLCD directory, but I can't find the application of Norton.
  Can someone tell me how to?
  Best regards and thanks - Steen

  Hi Steen,

  If your copy of NIS was originally installed when you got your laptop then it will probably have been included on the DVD of recovery in which case there is no way in which you can extract it without performing a reinstall full of your operating system.

  In my case, NIS was delivered on a CD separate provided by people who I bought the laptop so I can re - install from there without a full system restore.

  You could, of course, back up your data and then re - build your original recovery DVD system (just finished it on my A30), and this will give you a good clean system without any of the inevitable clutter that can accumulate.

  Hello

  Sorry, but if you have so much trouble for me the means of logic alone to solve this is to use recovery delivered DVDs and reinstall the OS. After 20 minutes, you will have own OS preinstalled.

  After making this all preinstalled delete stuff you don't need, install all the applications you need for your work and be happy again.

• NORTON INTERNET SECURITY WILL NOT INTERFERE W UPGRADE TO EL CAPITAN?

  The Norton Internet Security software interference of the upgrade process w at El Capitan? 10.8.5 running in an iMac 2011 class w 16 GB of memory and, in view of the comments, am paranoid re: upgrade and anything that could it confuses.

  Mac do not need of any kind, including Norton anti-virus programs.  There is no virus for OS X currently, so anti-virus programs are not fundamentally necessary at this time.  Completely uninstall instructions for the developer.  Regarding the upgrade to El Capitan in general, make sure that you have a full backup of your system or with Time Machine or something like CarbonCopyCloner.  If you want, you could also partition your hard drive and install El Capitan top to 'test drive' so to speak, to see if you really like it.

  It also goes without saying that you must ensure that all your applications are updated to work with El Capitan.

• CCA with Norton Internet Security 16.5.0.134

  Just noticed a problem this morning with own access and it does not support the new Norton Internet Security 16.5.0.134. I remember a problem exactly like year last with the free version of AVG 8.0, and I had to fight and complain to Cisco, until they were finally open a BUG report and solved the problem. Must have 6 months or more before they finally got that avg 8.0 free edition worked.

  Before you start this long-term work again once I was wondering if anyone saw the Norton 16.5.0.134 working or doing same thing tho. Below, I had pasted a part of the report and it does the same thing he did with AVG, he sees that Norton is installed and has the version here but does not display anything for the Virus definition.

  I'm only 4.18 and I don't know they say improves 4.5, however I do not think it will fix the problem as it seems that this Norton was communicated after the 4.5 came out and I guess we have just another bug, he will not recognize not something with this last update.

  What would be great is if Cisco had a box that is unique and a computer where they could actually test the version and then tell me if I am right or wrong.

• XP SP3 Security Center will not suddenly Norton Internet Security recognize?

  Windows XP SP3 Security Center won't recognize all of a sudden of Norton Internet Security. It has been fine for years. I don't have a virus.

  How to fix problem?

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum. I understand that XP SP3 Security Center will not recognize Norton Internet Security. I would like to help solve you the problem.

  This problem may occur if there is an inconsistency in the system files or folders associated with XP Security Center. Follow these methods:

  Method 1.

  Disable the firewall and check if that helps.

  How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions? : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673

  Note: you should not disable Windows Firewall, unless you have another firewall is activated. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Method 2.

  Rename the storage folder.

  1 - Go to control panel, and then open administrative tools.

  2 - click on Services.

  3-go down to Windows Management Instrumentation and stop this service.

  4. stop the Security Center service.

  5-exit and close all windows.

  6. right click on start and select explore.

  7. go down to C:\windows or Winnt\system32\wbem\repository.

  8 remove only the storage folder

  9-go Back To Services and restart the WMI and the Security Center service.

  10. close all windows and restart the computer.

  Let us know if you need assistance with any windows problem. We will be happy to help you.
