  • I have the latest Firefox installed on an older Dell and the CA security suite through my ISP, that takes up all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access its features. I need a free internet security software that my so tax system

    Have old Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I installed the security suite CA from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% CPU on starting and stopping, slowing everthing at a snails pace. I deleted evrything I need not using 30 days free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access the CA firewall to add programs to the exemption, it opens, then freezes tabbed Firefox and nothing else. Can not even stop from the start menu. I want to get rid of all (even if it's a good program, it's too big) and return to my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other internet security free program that is easy, runs in background and does not all my resources and is not just a 30 day free trial until you purchase the program. I also try to install a wireless adapter, so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!

    I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! who has some interesting features, even on the freeware.

  • Satellite A100: Reinstalling Symantec Internet Security Suite

    Hello

    I tried to renew the subscription on security Internet from Symantec (Norton) after that 3 months free OEM subscription expired on my Toshiba A100 Satellite, but after I paid and everything that I could not subsequently confirmed the renewal and the security suite and the confirmation of the renewal of Symantec told me to uninstall the suite and reinstall.

    I managed to uninstall - question is how can I reinstall? I can't find the file of re-installation anywhere. Symantec support they told me to refer to the Toshiba support... How can I do?

    Hello

    This is an OEM version which is available for 3 months. As far as I know after 3 months, you have no privileges for updates and you should buy an original version.
    By elsewhere all applications of this are part on the image of Toshiba and it s not possible to install only one program.

    You must reinstall the entire image.

  • Remove IE plateau and AV Security Suite virus Scanner.

    original title: I need help to remove AV Security Suite Scanner viruses and viruses IE plateau.

    I have AVG on my computer, but also Malwarebytes.

    I have downloaded SpyHunter 4 and found several tracking cookies, but nothing named AV Security Suite. So I removed the H_Keys virus. Some of which that were listed, were not in my pc. However, I was watching a Guild for a XP user. I need help as a Vista user.

    I did a scan with Malwarebytes and AVG several times in safe mode with network. I was able to remove AV Security Suite the first time with the help of SpyHunter 4, but he had to analyze my laptop. I don't have the money to buy it. After retiring the first time, everything was fine, so to appear. Windows told me about some start up programs that he blocked. AV Security Suite came back after some time. Three times I counted that he's back.

    I looked in my process and do not see running, however I noticed a csrss.exe that I came to the conclusion that he was part of the IE platform virus. I found how to remove by hand, but I get a blue screen, or other wise, that my laptop fell down after trying to put an end to the process in the taskmanger. After that I had AVG and Malwarebytes scan in safe mode without network. Malwarebytes found nothing, and Spyhunter doesn't work, nor does internet explore and Windows Defender is turned off and I get an error after trying to turn it back on.

    Please do help me. And if it is a free software to dial a number, I'll be ready call and take a step by step process to help eliminate these viruses.

    Go to safe mode with network and log on with administrator, and then restore your computer to before that the problem started.

  • Norton Security Suite defragments my C drive

    Norton Security Suite that comes with my Comcast cable/phone/internet package defrags my C drive as part of the process of scanning and tuneup. Defragment my disk SSD C causes a problem on my Surface Pro?  Told me never defrag of SSD drives.

    Thank you
    Cheng

    Cheng,

    It is not necessary to defragment windows 8. Former boards of defrag does not apply to windows 8. Win 8 deals with the defragmentation. Do not use all of these utilities.

    The DSS that the need is even less if you defrag too will lead to the premature death of your player.

  • Recommended Security Suite for Firefox 25. Using Mcafee Security Center 12.8 worm, I was wondering if I should change to Bitdefender or Kaspersky? Any suggestion

    Have 2 Win 8 machines, running Firefox 25 and a laptop with Win 7. All three are using Mcafee Security Suite ver 12.8 with Anti Virus 16.8. The subscription runs out in February 2014. I would like to make a change and I'm concerned about compatibility with Firefox worm 25 issues. Are there problems of compatibility with Bitdefender Security of Windows 8? Are there problems of compatibility with Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 or Pure 3.0 Total Security? If I make changes on the security Suites, I'll use the same version on Win 8 and Win 7 machines. All three will use Firefox 25. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    We're not supposed to indicate any personal point of view.

    I'm sorry.

  • Bug from Microsoft which blocks the installation of McAfee Security Suite

    Verizon and McAfee tec support worked with a problem on my pc, it just got a new hard drive and a new installation of XP installed, not to mention the 200 updates, including service packs 1,2,3. I never had no problems installing or running the McAfee products until 17 days ago. Between myself, McAfee and Verizon tec support, McAfee Security Suite has been reloaded 48 times. During each load, not an error or warning appears, the hard drive acts like it is written for and downloads are all successful, when you close the installation following the instructions once the installation completes, it not there no trace of McAfee on the hard drive accept for some temporary files and some registry entries.

    After the last attempt to McAfee to install a new problem exists, during the verification of your license and your password, bothe the name and the password are incorrect. I have 2 other PC running XP both have Security Suite installed on them and they would be well if the bug was introduced as reciently like 2 months ago, some first encrypted in Microsoft updates, I discovered that more then a thousand other people have this problem.

    We used highly som software sofisicated of security registry and found no bugs, we used as several other safety analysis software on this pc and found nothing so it's new and directly to McAfee as other security software, for example. Norton, work very well. I would suggest to Microsoft to go threw your online updates and find a worm attached to one or more updates that activates this question. I have went up to now download the setup of each update of Microsoft and ran an individual scan on each update but nothing has been found that is why I really think it's the combination code through a number of updates that creates this bug and bring it to life.

    Only Microsoft has all the updates with the original code, they must go threw each update and find the configurations added / changed on their updates to resolve this problem, I would muself, but I'm not entittled to access the database of Microsoft where the original code was stored and compare it to the code distributed by Microsof'ts 'SECURE UPDATE DATABASE ".

    DOES ANYONE HAVE A LIST OF A LINK THAT HAS MICROSOFT WHO CAN RUN A SCAN ON THEIR SOFTWARE FOR ERRORS LIKE NO OTHER SECURITY SOFTWARE DETECTS MICROSOF'TS UPDATES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE WEB NEXT TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE SAVED ILS?

  • Impossible to get rid of Security Suite on my PC (read all the other posts)

    Hi guys,.

    I also have problems with this security suite. I followed all the guides provided on the site to remove it, but it is always present. It looked as if it had been uninstalled, but returned shortly after the restart. I would rather not reformat my computer because it's a pain so wanted to know if there are other things I could do to remove it. None of the anti-malware programs have worked and I don't really dare to change anything in the registry because I don't know what I'd be looking at and could make things worse.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to
    detect malware is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. If its
    better to be too full now than to pay the price much later. Check with these extreme
    Overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    Security Suite and AV Security Suite are fake antivirus, a scam to get you to pay for them
    While they have no advantage.

  • Security Suite blocking Windows Media center to connect to the Extender

    I was initially a little happy home network with an xbox 360, a wired router and my pc under Windows 7 ULT(64bit) Norton 360 AV. During my AV license expires, I downloaded the version of my ISP (Norton Security Suite 4) to replace.

    Now I can't Media center to add or discover the Extender. I added to Windows Media Center svchost.exe to the list of permitted programs, but it doesn't have the thing.

    In help on the xbox live forums, suggestions are to work with the Windows Firewall not Norton. The Norton software has a different interface for the administration of the rules and I saw not a place where you can designate which programs can access which ports. And half of the programs listed as Qwave, Remote Desktop etc, I can't even find the interface of Norton.

    If anyone knows or has worked this issue before Norton Security suite please respond when you can. Thank you

    Hello

    (c) in the control of the program window, click Add.

    (d) in her select a program dialog box, locate the executable file for the program that you want to add.

    (e) click Open.

    (f) in the program control window, select the level of access that you want this program to have

  • My Norton security suite and the toolbar Norton will work with the new Firefox?

    A previous version of Firefox eliminated my Norton toolbar and I had to reload an older version of Firefox to get it back. I've been reluctant to upgrade to newer versions of Firefox because of this problem. You are now compatible with Norton?

    It depends on what version on Norton you have: I have Norton Security Suite (not to be confused with Norton 360). Free Norton Security Suite is available to Comcast customers. Updates following Norton Security seem to be a bit behind Norton 360. Norton said currently their Norton 360 product can be updated using Live Update and the toolbar does not work in Firefox 22, but this does not seem to solve the problem of the toolbar with Norton Security Suite. It is a very frustrating issue that is causing me does not want to update to Firefox.

  • Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17, provided Comcast Norton Security Suite, Win 7.

    I have Norton Security Suite provided by Comcast. Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17.0.1 on my Win 7 machine. I lived all the questions on this topic and did all the steps and when I click on "Add-ons", he always says that the toolbar is not compatible. It works with IE, but I prefer to use Firefox.

    I had the same problem in the past. If you call customer Norton service toll-free they have always helped me start (without charges) when I have updated to a new version of Firefox - seems to happen every time even if I run the updates regularly. Hope that this phone help-Norton support is always very friendly and helpful-just Google their 800 number.
