  Hello

  I studied a little more on Norton and Vista compatibility issues and the Symantec Norton Internet Security is certainly compatible with Vista!

  Also, I found a document very useful Toshiba on this subject:
  Check this box:

  Windows Mail won't send or receive emails
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7701X30005R01.htm

  It seems that the update of the Software Desktop SMS Installer version will help to address this problem.

• It takes to run Windows Defender if I have Norton Internet Security?

  If I have Norton Internet Security installed. Should I have Windows Defender running?

  Original title: what security is ok

  Hi paowie,

  Absolutely not.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/norton-internet-security-and-windows-defender/761d5aff-382e-46d9-b9f5-f65178b83d91.

  Please disable Windows Defender in Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services.  Double-click Windows Defender and stop it if it is started.  Then in the drop-down menu, make sure to put it off.  Click OK to save the changes.

  Good luck!

  These are forums for Vista, and you have Windows 8.

  I'm moving your question on the Forums of Windows 8.

  XP, Vista and Windows 7, Windows Defender is an Anti-Spyware application and Norton disables that Norton has its own Anti-spware application and advocate the 2 would cause problems if they ran together.

  BUT in Windows 8, Windows Defender is an anti-virus program and you should not install Norton as well.

  Only have AN anti-virus program installed.

• Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically close Windows Defender? __

  My set up:

  Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, Vista SP2

  HP Desktop

  Modem DSL Connection

  Norton Internet Security 2010

  I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010. I get a pop up notice of Windows indicating that Windows Defender is disabled. When I had Norton Antivirus/spyware 2008 (that I used until the installation of Norton Internet Security 2010) Windows defender was on, but not in real time.  Then, when I'd go to

  The Task Manager > click on the Services tab > click on the Services button in the lower right

  This will display a list of Services. I scroll down and find the Windows Defender Service

  It shows NOT on and manual start

  Before the instalation of Norton Internet Security 2010, it has shown as Started and startup type automatic

  Is this the right setting with Norton Internet Security installed? I do not use Windows Defender, but I read that the Windows Defender Service is responsible for other things in addition to anti-spyware scanning.

  So should I change the startup type?

  and start the service?

  Or, as I said if I don't use it. leave it alone?

  Q. "Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically closes Windows Defender?"

  A. Yes.  It uses its own antispyware software.  Having two different types will result in conflicts and compatibility issues.

• Norton Internet Security launch

  Just bought a HP ENVY 700-074 with Windows 8 and a trial of 60 days of Norton Internet Security (NIS).   NIS is running, but it cannot be launched to run queue Insight or scanning of the network.  HP offers NIS should be purchased, however, I have a hard time buying something that is not working properly.

  Any ideas on how to solve the problem of not being able to launch Norton Internet Security on Windows 8?

  Thank you

  Windsurfing, welcome to the forum.

  I suggest contacting the Service customer of Norton for help.  They want you to buy the program when the trial period is over, so they'll get it fixed.

  Please click on "BRAVO", if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

• 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 .

• I just installed NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2011, and when I try to activate windows DEFENDER, something backtracked. Should I panick?

  I have a pc compaq presario with vista premium, service Pack2 (SP2). I installed also any internet security 2011.The 'defender' of norton program turned on-with no problem, when I had installed service pack, but now, every time I try to turn on 'defender', a program, or perhaps, norton security-tours he back off. All solutions?

  Nortons disabled. Because it has a virus scanner. You cannot or should not be running 2 AV programs or firewall. They will come into conflict. Its normal. And nothing to panic on

• Microsoft Windows XP and Norton Internet Security

  Hello
  I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Portege R200. After the new installation of MS Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all recommended Toshiba drivers and utilities and the installation of Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition laptop starts repeatedly with delay. The delay is manifested by jump for 1 to 2 minutes between when the icons are loaded on the desktop and programs (their icons) are loaded into the system tray. In this break, the system tray has no answer to all actions and the CPU is fully charged (the fan continues its maximum). In addition, sometimes the computer doesn´t wake up from sleep or hibernation mode.
  I saw this problem with Symantec Corp., and they confirmed my suspicions that some Toshiba drivers or utilities collide with Norton Internet Security system services, but they don t know which of course.

  I want to ask you if you know something about this problem because there are a lot of utilities and drivers Toshiba and it is impossible to just try on which we put problem and it is also impossible to use Norton Internet Security on my laptop.

  I would like to add that all used Toshiba drivers and utilities are up-to-date as well as MS Windows XP and Norton Internet Security. The computer has certainly no viruses as well.

  Thank you.

  Hello Martin

  I had the same problem with the Satellite P20 (1 GB of RAM). I installed the Sophos anti-virus application and after that, I noticed the same situation. The delay is certainly due after installing antivir software. I deleted and everything works fine now.

  It makes sense that the software companies are trying to complain of producers for laptop but my experience is that Toshiba has designed tools and utilities have no influence on the applications of antivir. I recommend you to test different applications with antivir. I tested it with Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet security and AntiVir guard. Two of them works well, and I noticed that the problem has disappeared.

  Good bye

• Norton Internet Security trial version stopped working and asked me to uninstall and reinstall

  Norton Internet Security has stopped working and asked me to uninstall and reinstall.

  I uninstalled, now I can't seem to find a way to reinstall it.

  Either way, it was the evaluation version of the security of the software that came with it since I bought it just 3 days ago. So I have all the disks for the software.

  How can I reinstall it? And the last days of my stay of the trial?

  Hoping for an answer.

  Why do you need it? Windows Defender will do the job and please note: nobody knows better than Microsoft Windows.

  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.

• Install or not to install: "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security".

  original title: install or have not installed?

  I am very confused about the difference between "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security". They are both asking me to click on install. They provide the same service? What one do need me more? Windows 7 is already a certain protection/security installed in? I'm afraid to install anything that is not "Microsoft". I heard that too much protection can get an infected computer. My new computer is not yet a year old, I want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

  The real risk of installing more of an anti-virus program is that they do not work well together and can cause system performance slow and computer lock-up and others.  You should only choose an antivirus product and install it.  Microsoft Windows comes with a limited program called "Windows Defender" that protects against spyware/adware, but no virus, but if you prefer a Microsoft solution, you can download and install "Microsoft Security Essentials" that offers more protection.  Personally, I also use and recommend MSE and have never had a problem with it.

  Make sure that you uninstall Webroot and Norton Internet Security before installing MSE.
