• Using Norton AntiVirus with the iMac

  For years I used Norton AntiVirus on my iMac with no problems that I know.  Recently, a novice iMac user was informed by a person from a person of type Geek Squad remove Norton AntiVirus from his Mac immediately because it destroys all of Apple security that protects us.  Is there any truth to this?

  Norton AV is NOT recommended for any Mac. Norton has a long sordid history of manufacturing OS X unstable and creates more problems than it solves. OS X is extremely secure and doesn't require any AV, cleaning or other third-party applications 'maintenance' to function well. So simply kept up to date OS X in most cases will run without problem for years. I HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall Norton by following instructions to uninstall Norton!

• How to uninstall and reinstall norton security

  I have Norton Security for 5 devices and put one on my new iMac, but when I click on advanced customize it does not open.  Nothing happens.  I was hoping that if I uninstalled norton and reinstalled then it would work.  I tried to uninstall norton, but he said it did not with the OS systems.  Nobody knows that I can either get advance to work so I can use the settings or how to uninstall and reinstall?

  Thank you

  It is not recommended to install antivirus on Mac applications unless you want a computer unstable and crashing. OS X is extremely secure and must be kept up-to-date to stay. AV, cleaning or ANY other third party are tools to keep the OS X works well are a total waste of time, energy and resources system.

• Could not open a file zip as Envoy by norton security

  I bought Norton Security Premium for iMac and after Norton service call, they suggested to ask apple support why this zip file does not open. Someone had it happen to them?

  Personally, I would check to see if you can get your money on Norton. It is a useless scam on the Mac. It does no good for you. He is able to make problems.

  Really, you have no additional software on your Mac that claims it makes it safer, clean or increase performance. Any seller of such software are lying to tell you.

  Please do not install all this software protection on a Mac. It is not necessary.

  Yes, the built-in protection is good enough.

  Keep the OS X and other applications update.

• Why is Firefox 42.0 not get updated to be compatible with Norton Identity Safe?

  Although the Norton Toolbar now appears to 42.0, Identity Safe function does not work with. Firefox does not provide the same level of assistance navigation that makes Identity Safe from Norton, and using Firefox without the Identity Safe requires several additional keys and many more lost time. Norton make sure that the secure identity must be compatible, and it works fine in Internet Explorer. Norton claims that Firefox "Auditors" are always check program compatibility issues, but how long this process will take? Use Firefox without the Identity Safe is so cumbersome and time-consuming that I might have to try Google Chrome or go back to Internet Explorer, even if I used Firefox since it first came out. Please don't force me to spend. Thank you.

  I understand its annoying, but the toolbar compatibility is something being developed by Norton, please also request their support.

• When Norton Vault will be available again on Firefox?

  I prefer to continue to use Firefox, but since I depend on having Norton available Vault, I'm very used to the use of Chrome because of this incompatibility Norton Vault with Firefox problem.

  Volunteers on this forum are very familiar with the ongoing problems with modules of Norton.

  For now, the only way to use your safe with Firefox must manually copy/paste your passwords. The Norton toolbar to update published last week does not yet support the arch/Identity Safe.

  Norton is promising a second update, but no time was given.

• Download Messege appears to be blocked because of Norton email scanner

  The problem started occurring a couple of weeks (I guess that the latest updates of Norton/Thunderbird). The program works fine however the aspect of substantive progress is stuck on "download message" and does not all messages to download.
  restart seems to allow a few tracks until it gets stuck again and by disabling the E-mail scanner seems to fix completely, but since the download from a server SSL POP3, I'd rather keep the mail scanner on.

  Thanks for the help!

  I suggest as Symantec Norton to fix them.
  Whatever the safety of what we call this analysis of messages provides. I don't think not analysis of the e-mail is of no practical use at all. However, it is a constant cause problems of downloading, lack of mail, of all being deleted and other useful actions interesting and no Inbox folder.

  Symantec offer deactivation of the analysis of the messages as a workaround to a number if issues their installation product and each such recommendation comes with the warning that your will always be protected, by the scanner in real time.

• I don't want to use this patch until my Norton Tool bar stiill can be used. How to make your guest to download leave me alone?

  The prompt to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox appears every few hours. I said 'Ask Me later' a lot of times and I'm really tired of it, but it seems to be my only choice. I don't want an upgrade until I can keep my Norton Tool bar that works fine now. So, how can I disable your pop-up infuriating? I'm not a geek, so please I need a simple answer.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Symantec (the people who make the Norton products) has taken the decision to withdraw support for their toolbar in the latest version of Firefox (in spite of having a lot of attention to do). I found this page which gives more details around this and plans to get a fix in place very soon.

  I recommend that upgrade you to the latest version of Firefox to take advantage of the new features and security enhancements that are included in the browser. There is a new version of reason rather quickly who has added and improved features of the privacy that you may be interested.

  If you do not want to disable update guests you get, type Subject: preferences #advanced in the address bar and select Update. This will present you the options to turn off the future, even if updates for general health and well-being of your web browsing, I suggest keeping Firefox updated and wait for the Symantec fix for your Norton product.

  I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we will try to find another solution for you.

• Why can't Norton Identity Safe compatibility be integrated into the latest versions of Firefox? IE seems not to have problems with it.

  Firefox constantly asks me to upgrade to the latest version, which is not a problem as long as the new generation is compatible with applications that I serve throughout and rely on every day. I use the 40.0.3 version and it wants me to update to 41.0.2. If the Norton Identity Safe toolbar work with my current version of Firefox, what is the compatibility issue with a newer version of Firefox? IE does not appear to have this problem of update... which makes me consider the switch back to IE as my default browser. I rely on the Identity Safe to take care of my connection problems, and there is no need to deal with problems of incompatibility. I know I'm not alone in finding this aggravation with updates. (I use Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit).

  Sorry, this is a change in the types of code Add - ons are allowed to include. It was supposed to change in Firefox 40, but at the request of vendors such as Symantec, it was postponed to 41 of Firefox. I don't think this change will flip over. Norton is working on a new version, but I understand that it takes longer than expected.

  Here's what I suggest for users who need Norton password security features:

  Instead of freezing your Firefox on a non secure version, consider using the Extended Support Release (ESR). It is designed for businesses that require a cycle time longer between changes to the features, but anyone can use it. ESR is currently based on Firefox 38. It will get updates of security over the coming months, but not to get new features, so changes in Firefox 41 concerning the compatibility of the add-on will not be out for a good time.

  Norton is likely to continue to support the ESR until the new toolbar update is finished, maybe next month. After that, I don't know what they will do because normally they don't take over a small range of versions.

  If you decide to try it, here's how I suggest to install:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.3.0esr of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) simply rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Fx41
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\Fx41
  

  (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Success?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \Fx41\Plugins
  • \Fx41\browser\plugins

• Firefox will not open even for a split second, shows the page to update norton toolbar in this time and closes before I can even click on anything whatsoever

  Firefox refuses to stay open for half a second. I deleted everything regarding Firefox on my computer, have run Norton Power erasers, am running a full system scan, and even tried to see if Norton was blocking it somehow. I don't know if it's some sort of error, processing, because the last time it worked he asked to update to firefox, and then he said that it was not compatible with the norton toolbar. After update, it crashes like this. I have re-installed many times off my internet, checked the Task Manager and nothing. I have no idea.

  System: Windows 7 32 bit, running on an eMachines computer. Never had this problem before.

  I actually ran it as administrator and it seemed to invite firefox finally to do whatever the heck he was doing. Thanks for the help!

• where can I find firefox for Windows 10 who support the JavaScript and Norton

  I had problems all this Sunday can not enter in the emails. bankAccounts or facebook because allways firefox41 tell me I need to install and activate JavaScript. I have Windows installed 10. My laptop is 1 year old HP. I also prefer to use Norton. What can I do? Can Andy I find an older version of Firefox in Norwegian?
  Thanks for listening.
  Michele your

  Firefox's JavaScript should be enabled by default. Can you provide more information about the messages that you have found on this subject?

  At the same time, to examine the question of Norton and your language:

  Norton has been a big topic of communication of updates for Firefox via LiveUpdate a few days before each new version of Firefox is available. But that changed with Firefox 41. Due to the change in Firefox (which was originally going to be in 40 Firefox but was delayed at the request of Norton and maybe a few other companies), the toolbar needs major changes and they are still not available yet. Norton issued a statement on this subject: https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v115161915_EndUserProfile_en_us

  If you want to use an updated version of Firefox that allows to run the current Norton Toolbar, there are another option. You might consider a different variant of Firefox called the Extended Support Release (ESR) for the moment. ESR is designed for businesses that require a cycle time longer between changes to the features, but anyone can run it.

  ESR is currently based on Firefox 38. It will get updates of security over the coming months, but not to get new features, so changes in Firefox 41 concerning the compatibility of the add-on will not be out for a good time.

  Norton is likely to continue to support the ESR until the new update of toolbar. After that, I don't know what they will do because normally they don't take over a small range of versions.
