  Hello

  Yes you still need an antivirus program and you are right that Norton tends to cause problems.

  Norton Removal Tool
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

  You want to remove Norton and old and even uninstalled antivirus can leave remnants then download and run
  the Norton Removal Tool. Also, I would get Avast and Prevx and you should be in good shape.

  Download the 3 to get back to after removing the McAfee antivirus.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each.

  --------------------------------------------------------

  Here is what I use:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
  a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Do I need a security license to set up VPN on the router?

  Hi all.

  I am trying to setup on 2 different routers VPN connections and I'm not sure what I have needed a permit from security to configure the VPN router?

  The first is 1941-K9 site-to-site.

  Second, one is 887G - K9, EasyVPN connection.

  Two of them are not working. What should I check on both routers to see if they are valid for the vpn connection, perhaps some controls as well.

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Yes, for the VPN, you need a security license.

  The 1941 should show the following line:

  RTR-01 #sh worm | b technology

  Technology for the Module package license information: "c1900".

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Technology-technology-package technology

  Course Type next reboot

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  IPBase ipbasek9 ipbasek9 Permanent

  Security securityk9 Permanent securityk9

  given none none none

  The 887 comes by default with all features "Advanced Security". That's all you need for this device.

• IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition preinstalled but no XP installation CD. Will need to re - install XP from CD after planned hard drive upgrade. How can I create a CD to install XP from the installed system?

  Hi, I bought an IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition pre-loaded in 2005 (the XP key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop), but did not receive an XP installation CD - I understand, it is a common practice. I want to improve the internal hard drive (for a bigger) then you will need to re - install XP from CD. They tell me that there is a way to create the XP (on the CD burner) installation installation CD but have no idea how. I can't imagine I'm the only person to have had this problem. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions how to do this please? Any help is welcome. Thank you very much.

  you need to remove the license from computer to move to another PC.

  It is all the information that I have and you can get on the product. I don't know when and who has been sold, or whose key is. Asked me to pass the software of an older laptop to a new laptop.

  Good luck with that.  Without a legitimate serial number, you're stuck.

  Hello, a graphic designer created my logo. I need to change the color from black to white and then make it bigger so I can add it to a T-shirt. I looked online and can't find a way to do it. Help, please

  Guess that's your logo. His place of 1000px

  

  Select each layer, and then type cmd - I or ctrl-I on the keyboard and that will reverse the color of the objects on the layer. Black is the

  opposite of white

  

  And then resizing the image size under Select image menu and place values expanded in the dialog box

  as below.

  

  That's all. It may be useful

  Hi sindres79946597,

  Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> uncheck "Open Documents in the new tab in the same window.

  Now, reboot your system, when you open multiple PDFs that all will open in a new window so that you can easily compare.

  Kind regards

  I need to move Photoshop CS4 from one computer to another. Uninstall and then reinstall it on the new computer. I have the CD and the licensnumber

  First disable a Photoshop license gives the right to install Photoshop on two computers anyway.

  Do you want to say that I can use the same licensnumber again?

  It is my understanding.
