New version of Norton anti-virus disabled my firewall

I use Norton anti-virus and I just updated my program; When he did this, he uninstalled the latest version of years then restarted my computer.  When it restarted, there was a red shield in my start with an X in it and it says my firewall has been disabled.  What does that mean?  Should I turn it back on or the antivirus program will do the job for the firewall?  Help, please?

Yes, please turn on the firewall.

  • 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
    Adrian Wainer

    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 ;)

    Hey Buddy.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm Vineeth and I Support of Norton team.

    You will receive this alert from the Performance of your Norton product alert feature. Your Norton product monitors the performance of your system. If it detects an increased use of system resources by any program or process, it warns you with the performance alerts. Performance alert informs you with information about the name of the program and the resources that the program uses excessively.

    If you don't want to use this feature, you can disable it in settings. For more information, read:I receive alerts on high of the processor or the use of the high memory of my Norton product

  • After you have installed the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-virus, I no longer wish to receive email.

    I can send emails, but I can't get everything and they do not get copied to my "sent" folder.
    I have two accounts (using the same installation of Thunderbird and the same IMAP server) and both have the same problem.
    Thunderbird is more sought my for my passwords and after a while I get a message that says only that the connection has expired.
    Before the connection times out, the text that appears on the bottom bar said current mail server features.
    On another thread, someone suggested you connecting to customer account Web screw and remove the message oldest undownloaded Inbox because it might be a problem with the e-mail address that blocks Thunderbird, but all my emails undownloaded were received after that the problem began to occur.

    I recently installed the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, so I suspect that it blocks the incoming connection. I tried to re - install Thunderbird to see if she could circumvent Kasperky or tell me what I need to do so that he could make an exception (or something like that). No luck.

    Kaspersky support services do not seem to be worth anything, so I don't think I'll get any assistance to their end.

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated,

  • NORTON ANTI VIRUS WITH HP 8 GB FLASH DRIVE

    I brought flash drive 8 GB hp with free norton anti virus free. I have registersd the form and got the activation code. For the download, I went to norton.com/latestnav as said. I downloaded the application 70 MB but it doesnot installs. The download web page is bad or what. Please guide me.

    Sorry! The Setup file must be 281 MB. Since you have only 70 MB of the file, I think that downloading was interrupted between the two. May I know what exactly happens when you try to download Norton AntiVirus? Do you receive an error message? Do you have other products of security installed on your computer? Have you tried re - download it again?

    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 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.
