Solve : Another Anti-Norton testimonial?

1.	Solve : Another Anti-Norton testimonial?
Answer» My mom wants me to install VB .NET 2003 on her laptop (compatibility problems with 2005 Express). Now, I've got the discs, but I keep GETTING told that another program wants the PC to reboot. This is a red flag; she didn't do anything to prompt this today. I removed the Norton software (ugh!) and I've installed Avast!, SpyBot, A2, SpywareBlaster, ZoneAlarm, and HJT. Just running A2 and SpyBot, I've got: 521 from A2, and 143 from SpyBot. That's 666 problems between the two programs. I have a feeling her PC will run much better when I'm done with it. EDIT: 801 is the final count, and I haven't run Avast! or Ad-Aware yet. EDIT: 803... Quote from: Dilbert on May 07, 2007, 10:50:55 PM 666 problems between the two programs. It all makes sense now... Glad to have you aboard the anti-Norton bandwagon, Dil.Oh, I've been anti-Norton for a while; it's just that my mother's a LITTLE slow to CHANGE what's "protecting" her laptop. It's the same situation with my friend's computer. It's running really slow, so she asked me to take a look at it. Not only does she have Norton as her only protection, it's also several YEARS old. The poor thing. But worry not, I'll have 'er in tip-top shape soon enough.
