Norton Security Nightmare!


Question Posted Saturday July 19 2008, 9:01 am

15/F
I have a new computer that uses Vista. I love Vista! However, I dont love the Norton Security System that came with it. My account expires in about twenty days and it keeps recommending that I enter a product key code and renew it or something, but its like $100 or something. I dont want the program on my computer anyway!!!
But the popups are constantly interfering with my Sims2, Toontown, when Im TRYING to get work done, they just BEG MEEEE to stop and do this, close this, dont go here, throw away the cookies, etc. I want to RIP MY HAIR OUTTT! GEEEZUS!
Yes, I play toontown its addicting :P
But what my main concern is, is that I love the play Sims2 but I havent been able to play it with this computer. I went on the website and everything for help. Im pretty sure the problem is Norton Security because I have similar problems with Toontown but my brother managed to fix that.
But the Sims keeps crashing after the blue part that say 'configuring this and that', and a popup comes up saying "This something something has crashed to the desktop and will be terminated." I hate it! Pleasssse HELP!

Uninstall it from start, control panel, classic view, programs and features.

Most computers come with a lot of useless trial software like that. You might want to remove those while you're at it.

I recommend Avast for free antivirus:

And NOD32 for paid antivirus:

I hate that, I actually had the same problem as you! When it expires it comes up everyday saying renew! Its a bug but you get used to it! Try going onto add and remove programmes and removing it permenantly, although you need some kind of virus protection because my computer ( I think is infected) Good Luck!
