Paul Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 also AVG wont hog system resources like norton does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 AVG uses far fewer resources and doesn't get it's hooks into the registry the way Norton does and it's free :D :D and reliable too !! <_>Never screwed my system up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvw Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Monkey, Paul is correct in what he says, why not try AVG anti virus, it won't cost you anything and you can afford a new game then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 You will need to uninstall in safe mode, then none of nortons components will be running.Are you using add/remove programs or norton's uninstall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Just for future reference, you can download an un-install tool from the Norton website. They finally realized that occasionally it is required to totally remove their software (you have to do this to upgrade to the latest version) and it was a real PITA.Mr. M.
