  Hello
  
  1. are you able to install other applications successfully?

  According to my research, this error message appears if you have traces of a previous installation of the AVG software.

  Download the AVG remover to remove the previous version and then try the installation again and check.

• 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 ;)

• Value of anti-virus programs

  I know that anti-virus programs have never been approved on this site, but I just had an experience that might be of interest. I meant Apple support on a minor matter that they helped me difficulty. Just by talking to them, a very annoying noise (a quick series of four or five beeps sounds strong, metal or clicks) began. She disappears for a few seconds and then, inevitably, come back. It was so strong that I was afraid that my iMac was damaged, and the technician that I was talking to said that she had never heard such a sound. She also said that she could not help me and I have to take my computer to the shop for repairs. That's how things stayed until just at the time when I used my anti-virus program in a desperate attempt to find and fix the problem. Before that, I kept my computer off tension and silence for fear of damage to my machine.

  When I applied the anti-virus program, a never-ending stream of files would have been smart appeared on my screen. I was really stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place, so I decided to trash all of these files. However, after I had deleted THIRTY or FORTY of them, I realized that I had not heard that annoying noises since I started, so I stopped the rampage even if an unknown number of suspicious files remained. It was probably the best thing to do because the noise is not returned.

  I don't mention the name of my anti-virus program because some might think I'm just a sneaky vendors, but I think that my experience means something. I could be wrong but it seems to me that this noise is caused by some malicious programs and it fixed my anti-virus program. In any case, I'll send my thanks to this company. They saved me a trip to the Apple store and without a car, it was definitely a trip worth the savings. My iMac 27 "transport by bus on a forty minute trip is not my idea of a fun to spend the afternoon.

  FWIW, there is no OS x viruses known in the wild. I don't am not personally at the malicious power of any software that would result described sounds. Without knowing which files have been marked as "smart", there are nothing to say if they were or they weren't. A possibility is that your drive is a failure that can cause noise described. Removing some of the "malicious" files the drive may be inaccessible in the region, that the drive is failing.

  I would run first aid disk utility to see if it reports errors. I would keep an eye on her.

• When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.

  When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.

  Hi tomholland69,

  ·         What is the full error message?

  ·         You are able to download other programs?

  ·         What web browser do you use?

  ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

  (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.
