• Impossible to uninstall Norton and McAfee on Windows 8 antivirus programs.

  Original title: No place to enter the password administrator Windows 8

  I read some previous discussions but did not get any answers that have worked for me.  I have a new laptop and the account that somehow, I created by default to "prompt".  I don't want to continue to use Norton or McAfee, but computer won't allow me to install anything else and it will not let me delete these two programs.  Any action asks me to enter a password to Admin, but there's no need to enter the 'yes' is grey outside and not clickable.  I can't find anywhere to change anything.  Help, please.  I have wireless internet so my computer is at risk until I get my new installed program.

• security software

  I recently installed on a pc, but slowed down right itthen (CPY operating at 100%). I've looked in Task Manager and found most of the usage was mcafee so I removed it - no change. Since then, I have removed the hard drive and reformatted in another PC. Reinstalled windows 7 and now cannot install mcafee or AVG free - CPU now at 1-2%

  You can simply use the built in security software in Windows 7. It is just as capable as 3rd party products.

  Don't forget computer practice course... which goes much further in you protecting only a 3rd party product.

  Away from questionable sites.

  Do not click on links in emails.

• Preloaded Norton Internet Security 2011 crashes Windows 7

  My 6620 Pavilion came preloaded with Norton Internet Security 2011 - who works in isolation, but causes of the accidents and crashes when any other software infringes on its ares of operation. It is not always clear what are these competing programs.  For a while, something was inviting Norton to run "Background Operations" almost continuously and at intensities higher until the CPU would be muffled and the machine refused to respond to anything.

  I see it now.   Model came out about 1 year - guess it was late at night the day Expert when I was looking for this upward and I was a little bleary - eyed.   I guess it's the old stock or device refurbished if you have only had it for 3 weeks.

  I did not talk about the problems that would cause Norton to crash the system as you said.   If the system stay up long enough - I would try a number of things.

  First - go to Control Panel / programs and uninstall Norton.   Get Windows 7 running stable, maybe run Microsoft Windows Update, get the latest updates on.   Then go to the folder start/programs/recovery manager to launch the Recovery Manager to do a reinstall of the software program - Symantec Norton Internet Security should be one of the options.  Choose an application recovery - and you'll find Norton.

  Norton package still has a 60-day subscription to when you installed first, however.

  You could opt to use a different antivirus package if you wish.  For most of my friends and family think I help set their PCs for - I usually opt to accompany Security Essentials Microsoft, especially since it's free - but it seems to work pretty well.   You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials if you are interested.

  Hello

  Yes you still need an antivirus program and you are right that Norton tends to cause problems.

  Norton Removal Tool
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

  You want to remove Norton and old and even uninstalled antivirus can leave remnants then download and run
  the Norton Removal Tool. Also, I would get Avast and Prevx and you should be in good shape.

  Download the 3 to get back to after removing the McAfee antivirus.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each.

  --------------------------------------------------------

  Here is what I use:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender

  Protected IE - mode

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

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

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie 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.

  I hope this helps.
