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?

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.

  • Satellite P200D-11MX: Question about the recovery procedure

    I have an error code, but my cd and the laptop (SATELLITE P200D-11MX) are the two new.
    "First start" Installation failed, then I tried the recover Option and got this error.

    What is the problem?
    And: What I can install Vista again if I format the whole HARD drive? And how to proceed?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Hi Philipp

    This is a very stupid situation. I have Satellite P200D too and got my phone several times. Everything works fine and I am really confused now. Can you please write what happening exactly when you try to install the OS using a supplied recovery media?

    You can install Vista when you want to. Why you want to format the HARD drive? You don t want to use the factory settings?

  • Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

    My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

    So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

    I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

    Hey,.

    Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

    So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

  • Satellite P500-12F - Question about installing the drivers

    Have recently bought a new P500 Satellite 12F and I am very happy with it. This PC came only came on the market on 29 Oct. I decided this pilot site updates, bios, etc. and was surprised to find a few tens of individuals in the list.

    When I rang Toshiba support he told me don't bother to install as there may be a danger and if if its ok market don't bother!

    I would like a second opinion please.

    Satellite P500 is newer model comes with the latest drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba laptop.
    It turns out that the Toshiba doesn't offer updates every month and, in my opinion, you don't need any update to date.

    I guess that your series of satellites well and without some serious software problems. So, touch of an operating system and be happy with your new toy.

  • Satellite P200D-128 open and reduces its own Web page

    Hello

    My Satellite P200D-128 seems to have a mind of your own.
    It reduces web pages open at reduced size, it closes open pages and open closed ones.

    I never saw something like this on computer before in my life the only thing that seems, is that on the pages of the American Toshiba, there is a computer that did this because there is problem with the transformer supplied with the computer, but I tried to run the computer off the battery and still had the same problem.

    Best regards
    Adrian Wainer

    Hello

    I m sure that the problem described in the Toshiba post page in your second assignment is not the reason to deliver you.
    According to the Toshiba site, your laptop series is NOT affected.

    So there must be another reason for you question.

    I ve searched the forum (maybe you should do it too) and found this topic:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=107738

    This problem seems to be related to the touchpad settings!
    Try to change the settings in the Synaptic touchpad software and people with disabilities contact areas.

    You can also use the USB mouse instead of the touchpad.

  • Re: Satellite P200D - 11L: how to install Windows XP

    I have a laptop Satellite P200D - 11L for about 5 months and it has preinstalled windows Vista.
    I can't stand them.
    They crash every 5 minutes and they consume all my resources for no reason!
    I can't run any program for my work that I used to run under XP without problem because of the incompatibility.

    I just discovered that I can not play games for reasons of incompatibility.
    I can play games that are very new, and of course these games play well due to lack of resources.
    I'm desperate. I tried loading XP on it, but it just stops when I boot from the XP one cd will not open again.

    I need to install urgent XP but I don't know how.
    Please give me a few steps or a few links so I can get rid of this bad software called vista.

    Help!

    Hello

    I think I know what you the problem might be.
    First you must make sure that you Win XP CD contain the SP2.
    I know the different problems that might appear during the installation of XP if a SP2 was not included. If you XP CD doesn't have a SP2 then use the program nLite to built your own XP CD with SP2.

    In addition your P200 supports the SATA controller and you will need to install the first SATA driver (among others).
    It is not very difficult. You need the Intel Matrix Storage Manger.
    During XP Setup, press F6, and then you could include the the USB FDD drive SATA driver. Search this forum for more details. There are many useful discussions.

    This crib of storage can be downloaded from the Intel Web site or on the European driver from Toshiba website.
    Unfortunately, for Satellite P200D XP drivers are not available on the Toshiba page at the moment and I think you should try some different P200 series drivers.

    Good bye

  • 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.

  • should I install McAfee anti-virus on my Mac Book Pro 2008?

    MOM it is totally unnecessary and could, indeed, create problems.

    If you insist, I would suggest ClamXav.

  • 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!

  • I started using a video converter. To convert YouTube to Mp3 Music. Is that going to be a problem for my computer somehow? I have Norton Anti virus.

    The only thing that makes me think it would be a problem. Is that my Norton Anti virus has arisen with a high use of the computer. I know I've read online others with this nuisance with NAV. It worries me just because of what I do.  :)
