• 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.

• A PC can operate effectively WITHOUT the need for anti-virus software?

  Come to think if the first PC I've had and the worms Blaster threatened everyone...

  I do not just shoot when to install my anti-virus software, I need to close my Windows Firewall... 2 + 2 = and Yes, when I did I got the virus of shit...

  If only I had not installed the Norton... do you not think that any PC can operate without the need for anti-virus software knowing that you must close

  the Windows firewall and use theres rather...?

  I wonder!

  Hello

  It would be unwise to try to start without antivirus/antispyware are has just too many real threats and
  methods for malware to attack the system. If you attempt to do if of course you have redundant and
  current backups.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

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

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

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE 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.

• Firefox 5.0 disabled an add-on, which is associated with my anti-virus software. Is this disabled module if I use another browser too or just in Firefox?

  I just installed Firefox 5.0. I have also just renewed by subscription to Webroot Internet Security Essentials, so I have the updates on that as well, and apparently something in the latest Webroot is not compatible with the latest Firefox. When I open Firefox, I get a message that a Webroot 1.7 'Add-on' and a few files associated with Webroot (I wrote not them down and the error message disappeared) have been disabled. What worries me, because I do not know what part of my antivirus program has been disabled by Firefox. My Webroot reports that it is functional and up to date.

  What he says is that Webroot has a special add-on for firefox which does not match the version of firefox you have. Webroot will still work, but it will not use this special accessory. You may or may not have a similar attachment that it is bundled with other browsers. I'm not sure. All-in-all, the module is not the main part of your anti-virus, it's just a piece of bonus, they give you.

  Firefox has not disabled your anti-virus software, and using another browser will be no more or less dangerous than before that.

  Think of it as a vacuum cleaner. He always goes to the vacuum cleaner and clean, but the small fancy brush to clean baseboards or something does not fit immediately.

  They have most likely only need to change the small part of it that shows what versions of firefox, it will work with, if the chances are that if you keep an eye on, there will probably be an update soon with a version of the add-on that is compatible.

• 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.

• 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?

  See you soon!
