a coworker asked me to remove NAV from his laptop, add/remove programs wasnt working right...
i was deleting registry items for literally an hour, then i didnt have permission to end the norton process, so i couldnt delete the program files
pissed me off
 
Their programs are invasive and consume a lot of resources. I hate them. I am about to reformat and nothing from Symantec will be on my machine ever again.
 
That's standard operating procedure for getting rid of Norton.


Use Add/Remove, Google "norton removal procedures" so you can find all the goddamn Registry hooks that they don't remove because they're assholes. Spend an hour removing them and rebooting your computer more frequently than you breathe.

Fvck Norton.
 
but he was so good in 'american history x' and 'fight club'! fine, i guess 'death to smoochy' was pretty bad, but not bad enough to warrant death.

I thought he was a sewer worker who lived in Brooklyn and hanged around with his buddy Ralph???


I don't use Norton products myself though I've seen what their bloat could do.
 
..yeah..I stoped using norton and switched to AVG..so far so good. And it's not a resource hawg...saved me from some bug that showed up in my email.

NOD32, and Kaspersky are good AV's. Both use very little mem/sys resources and have some of the highest detection rates.

I currently use Sygate for my firewall.
i'm curious as to other really good firewall myself. but sygate is free and it seems to stop everything so far.
 
I have had so many pisses trying to get rid of NAV ... so many times...

Come to find out that Norton has a special tool for doing this...

RNAV

I do not know if this will work with newer versions, however... I have not used NAV in ages.

🙂

Edit: I use Panda Internet Security now.
