new netbook

[scaramanga]

bought the daughter a new packard bell net book for christmas. it has a trial version of Norton on it that keeps popping up!! i use AVG on the desktop and have not had any problems.

the question is do i just pay and get the full version of Norton or risk buggering it up by trying to uninstall it and installing some other anti virus?????

 

Thanks in advance

get rid of norton. It wont bugger anything up. Also worth using the removal tool to get rid of it fully

Yeah do what stevo says! Get rid. Nortons a processer hungry piece of garbage!

what is this removal tool you speak of ????

dont i just go to add/remove programs ?

 

do you think AVG is the way to go ??

 

cheers fellas :cool:

yeah go add or remove but it installs itself deep into the registry etc so its worth using the removal tool (just google it and download) im not a fan of avg since v7.5 and use avira now. Worth a try

I remember reading articles which claimed certain versions of Norton could add up to 90seconds to a system's boot up time.

 

There are plenty of free antivirus packages wihch will sort you out.
