Recovery of product without Norton AV?

Satellite A100-049, Vista Home Premium.

Recently purchased this laptop works very well, except that I can't get rid of leftovers from Norton AV (quite a common problem, I understand), despite the execution of the program available on the Symantec site. I installed Kaspersky (a much better product, in my opinion) and it works well despite the Security Center assuring me that I have two AV programs running - which I am sure that I have not.

Nevertheless, I considered finally eradicate Norton to re - install Windows from the recovery disk provided (I backed up all the data, of course), but if I go down this path, it will be possible to install all about how it was delivered, with the exception of Norton AV? Y at - it an option to choose which software to install: I would like to Windows and the software of Toshiba, but not Norton? I don't want to go to all that time and trouble only to find that Norton installs automatically.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Something like this is unfortunately not possible. Recovery image is not a kind of software where you can choose what software should be installed and which not.

Dear John, worry not Norton. It can be removed easily. I did this several times on WXP and preinstalled Vista laptop.

After the first start to choose the option uninstall a program in the control panel. It has listed all the preinstalled programs. As first remove Norton live update. When finished remove Norton software antivir himself. It is described in http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01NM000ER01.htm tracking document

Restart the computer and install your favorite application antivir. No you don't have to use Norton, but Toshiba has to offer the antivir preinstalled application to protect the laptop of all viruses. Offer this version 90 days you can, after the first start, immediately connect to the Internet without any risk.

  • Can I order the recovery CD Toshiba without preinstalled Norton?

    I tried to fill out a questionnaire of satisfaction customer Toshiba has just received online today.

    He would not send properly - something on a server error; After several attempts, I gave up.

    Too bad, I wanted to highlight the uselessness of on disk recovery and the initial installation of the software, including Norton (Norton takes over the computer and is not completely deleted - a problem well documented).

    I asked if I could have a recovery without Norton disk, but as I can't send the form, I'll never know!

    Hello

    Don t waste time and don t ask any special recovery without pre-installed CD Norton applications.
    Toshiba has delivered a version of these recovery CD and all preinstalled Norton software. I think it has something to do with marketing policy

  • Recovery of product - add a 2nd partition without deleting the 1?

    Hello
    I've read dozens of messages about the recovery of product, but I still wonder. I have a Satellite M30 - 344 (year 2003). Windows does more (blue screen with caller bad pool 0x000000c2). I don't have 1 partition - can I now use expert mode and add a second partition to install a new os without formatting the 1st?

    Too confusing...

    ttline

    Hello

    The expert mode of recovery CD allows you to choose the partition where the OS must be installed BUT if there is only one partition, you will not be able to choose between all partitions.

    If you are not able to run the Win operating system you cannot back up data. In my opinion there is only one way for sure the files. Remove the HARD drive and connect it to the computer via the external USB HDD controller.
    You should be able to access the external HARD drive. After backup, insert the HARD drive and use the recovery CD to install drunks.

    I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

  • How to use the rescue and recovery and product recovery discs?

    Hello world

    I just recently became a new owner of a T61 and really enjoy. I did have a chance yet to test the hotline of lenovo, as I've not yet screwed anything up if badly needing their help. I tried a factory clean reinstall from the service partition and it worked fine. I would like to know, how one uses it the rescue and the recovery boot disk and the recovery disks of the product I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I didn't insert the one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But the ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring a State own factory using these disks, can I use with rescue and recovery first, followed by the recovery of product? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

    1. Place the rescue and recovery disc in the drive, and then restart.  This disc contains the same program that you used when you restored your system from the service partition.  Once the program is loaded, you will see the same screen with the same options as before.
    2. Choose to restore your system as you did with the service partition.  You will not see an option to do a custom restore.  When the program is run from the disk, it automatically performs a full restore.
    3. The program will rebuild the service partition and copy the program files on him.  When you are prompted, insert the product recovery disks.  The compressed system and application files contained on these discs will be copied to the new service partition.  Once the copy process is completed, your system will be restored from the service partition.
    4. After restoration, you will be able to make a new set of recovery discs if you wish.  You will also be able to do a restore custom through the service partition.

  • Install XP from the recovery part. Without additional software

    Im trying to reinstall XP OS on my a1200a of Pavilion by using the recovery Partition HP, without any of the default software factory additional (HP Games, Muvee etc.). I want just the base OS XP. Is this possible?

    PLEASE HELP ME!

    Hello

    Except if you see the minimum installation option in Recovery Manager (this option has recently been introduced) so I'm afraid there is no way to avoid the installation of all other HP software as part of the recovery process.  The only thing that I could recommend to avoid this in the future is when you have uninstalled all the software that you do not need after recovery, is to create a disk Image that you can then use to restore XP.

    Kind regards

  • How to get Windows 7 recovery once again without disks?

    Hi, I have a Pavilion dv6, a few months ago, I remove recovery particion so now I need to restore my windows system, I have no disc, how do I get my windows iso or the recovery image?

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Also, if possible, back up the folder swsetup which lie at the root of the C drive.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc you using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( that must be the same version that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    In regards to the drivers etc, you must, if you were able to save the swsetup this will contain all the software and driver for laptop installers - if you were not able, drivers and software, you can need is found by entering either the complete model number or product of your laptop no here.

    Best regards
