Question about my laptop.
When I installed Norton's anti virus on it, it firewalled my wireless internet card.
What should I use instead or is there a way to adjust the Norton so I can use it and my wireless card?
There went that laptop!

Forget Norton or any other all-powerful and invasive AV programs. Find some downloads for Spyware Doctor, Registry Mechanic, Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Windows Cleanup and run them when you need to. I hope you're at least semi-nerdy cause if you can't find some readily available and free cracked copies it's going to be pricey. If you think you're up to it, you can register for an awesome downloads forum at http://forumw.org and check out the applications section. They have everything you'll ever need.
I don't think she needs all of that.
Personally, I'd go with AVG anti virus and Spybot.
Best thing is they're both free and reliable.
Although, I'd be tempted to check out the forum.
It's funny you say that. I just put AVG on my machine a few days ago and I'm liking it. I just didn't want to recommend it before I've really had much experience with it. You won't regret checking out forumw BTW. It's the best thing that's ever happened to my computer and media library.
Mouse- I may be in the market for a computer, so next time you have a good deal, please message me about it.
As for my current laptop, I am sure it can be fixed easily, once I have finished moving and can give it the needed focus.
You'll enjoy AVG. I've been using it for the past couple of years. I absolutely love it.
I'll be sure to check out the forum.
On the downside, there are a few problems with AVG that need to be taken seriously. For example, AVG has a horrible track record in the Virus Bulletin tests of antivirus software with only 2 passes and 19 fails.

Another thing I found out about AVG it may not be 100% truthful as a buddy of mine warns others.
AVG ANTI VIRUS WARNING
Heads up guys...
AVG Anti Virus is NOT our Friend...
FACT:
I have a Keygen for a certain program that I‘ve used many times.
All the Sudden, AVG reported it as having a Virus...
I first thought is was just a delayed Definitions issue.
But the more I thought about it, the program I was using, Never
gave me a problem. And this is not the first time AVG has done this
with Keygens and Patches.
So, I used a different computer Without AVG and ran the Keygen,
I also scanned the Keygen with Panda and Norton Anti Virus. No Virus Found.
After running the Keygen, it worked Fine and I wrote the Key produced
down on paper and tried it on the first computer. It Worked Fine.
I then re-scanned the computer that produced the Key with both (up to date)
Panda and Norton, AGAIN... No Virus Found and the System Works Fine.
AVG is a Good Anti Virus program. BUT, apparently AVG is taking it
upon themselves to be our Moral Police. USERS BEWARE...
Not only did AVG report this Keygen as having a Virus (it does Not)
it completely DISABLED it. Made it unusable on the first computer.
AVG is deciding (without your knowledge or approval) what they will lie about and what they will DISABILE on your personal property...
I‘m done with this BS Software and that BS Company...
Its up to you... Just letting you know what happened to me...
USERS BEWARE...
AVG Anti Virus is NOT our Friend...
Norton's was always okay for me--but McAfee was pure
That is what happened ti my computer last year, although I have connections and got power supply at no cost.
I wouldn't advertise AVG if I didn't personally use it.
Again, I also use it along with Spybot.
I've used it for 2 years and it has been incredibily reliable.
My mother uses it as well. Same results.
AVG is ok photoshop is talking about if you do a lot of downloading off the torrent sites AVG tries to go beyond protecting you and actually keeps some of the code busters from working as seen here in this link.

As for Norton? I love Norton, as long as folks keep using it I will always have a job.
I have never worked on more PC/notebooks that had Norton and needed to be cleaned.
It also slows down your PC. and is almost impossible to get rid of. You have to actually download a Norton remover or reformat your HD to get rid of it. It's right up there with AOL and Herpes.
Right now I am using Threat Fire and will know after about a week if its what it says it is.
Since I usually wipe out my HD every 40 days I like to use Avast it gives you 59 days of free service.
Hey Mouse, you should try the Norton Corporate version, it's non-intrusive, updates itself periodically, easy to get rid of and super effective, and you never have to register to update....it's the only anti-virus program I ever install now, seriously get a copy....
Mouse I'm calling bull on that. I've used AVG for @6-8 years now and never had the slightest problem anywhere about anything. Never gotten a virus, in fact I've surfed infected sites no problems whatso ever...and I've used plenty of keygens on my computer. Plenty of crackers too
About the only thing AVG doesn't work particularly well aginst are hijacking programs...but what does?
The reason I started using it in the first place was because it detected trojans and it wasn't even advertised as a trojan software.
Futhermore...every bit of PC work I have done for anyone(and this includes being a tech for a law office), I am have put that program on there...and no one I've ever done work for has so much mentioned having a virus.
Maybe it's the new version that does it or something(I've stayed with the last free version)...but historicaly AVG has been the . Granted I haven't used any kegens or crackers in a while so maybe they added something to it(and BTW pretty sure that's illegal)...
Maybe that have started going after keygens...but let's face it, Angel is unlikely to be using keygens any time soon.
The only viruses that get past this thing are maybe custom made viruses that are brand spanking new IME.
In any case...I don't think AVG is going to be free anymore...the message I am getting is that the version I use is outdated as of May 31st and I notice all their new versions seem to be shareware.
Norton or Symantec or what it's called now sucks...you couldn't pay me to use it, on that I agree with mouse. McAfee does too(if it's even still around)...
Best thing to do is search outsome freeware version by some company attempting to start up...they make them not suck because they have aspirations of becoming a pay version and they know if they suck that won't happen. I'bve been using freeware Antivirus since about 1998(can't remeber what I used before AVG but it was freeware that became pay too).
Also a lot of college students will develp programs that are pretty effective against most stuff(college studends always make the best programs IMO).
Never use Norton...they're the ones that make the viruses.
Some keygens are written similarly as certain types of viruses. READ A BOOK!
And some keygens have viruses flat out in them...and McAfee and Norton never find that stuff...seriously, they suck.
And their trojan and virus removal tools never work either.
Dan...don't be a suckhole and embrace the big corporation...you disappoint me with your lemming like approach to virus protection.

I have used AVG free edition for awhile now and put it on all my brothers PCs and all of them work fine unlike my cousins PCs who are always mess up.
What's funny is that guy in mouses story acts like Norton is the more reliable detection program...
The reason I use it is because it is the best, it's always caught stuff the others don't.
And just because his computer wasn't acting funny doesn't mean he didn't have a virus/trojan...not all of them make your computer work funny, in fact some of them don't want to be detected or noticable at all depending on their purpose.
There used to be this stealth trojan out that would turn your PC into a porn server for this website. They'd store data on your computer, porn images, they'd use it as back up or a secondary server to save their own server being overloaded and a bunch of people had it and their PC being used in service to this website never even knew it...and that's just one example.

Torrents are gross. Might as well install napster or gnutella.
Rapidshare.com, yo.
The new AVG is still free.
