But if you do a search on the forum for Norton, you'll see many members screw their noses up at it. Get different antivirus software once it is all fixed. (And not McAfee either!) |

Remove anything it finds. www.sunbelt-software.com Oh and when the infection is gone and your comp seems normal again, remove counterspy as it hogs up a lot of memory with its active protection program. Actually it doesn't. What hogs resources is ThreatNet. Turn that off. I also turn off a few off the Active Protection bits for those things that don't apply to me - like IE stuff - as I no longer have IE or OE installed. And if you ever download an updated version, make sure you thoroughly remove the old one first - manually if necessary as it doesn't do it for you and you end up with duplicate processes. |
