This is going to sound stupid.. but how do I do that? <br/>Do I have to uninstall 98 first? My comp came with 98 already installed although I do have the Win 98 disc...Yes I do have Norton AV and am always having problems with it...Yes, well there you are, typical Norton headache.<br/><br/>I know you will probably have subscribed to Norton but I recommend that you cut your losses and totally uninstall it. The uninstall instructions are <strong>here</strong> although they refer to Windows XP rather than 98, you will have to tailor them to suit 98. e.g. item 1 refers to ERUNT which will not backup the 98 registry as it is intended for New Tech systems.<br/><br/>But first you should download a suitable FREE antivirus program which you can install after getting rid of Norton. I suggest AVAST from <strong><a href="http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?tag=lst-0-1">here</a></strong>.<br/><br/>But then you might want to persevere with Norton - your call.<br/><br/>Good luck<br/>It worked (so far so good) I uninstalled Nort'n & Symantec keys. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/also-373387" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALSO">ALSO</a> installed Avast, so far so good with that too!<br/>thank you all for your help it was much appriciated!<br/>lizzeeYou're more than welcome.<br/><br/>Good to hear of your positive outcome.<br/><br/>Are you noticing a performance increase with Norton out of the way ? ?<br/>Just curious.</p></body></html> | |
