computers are cool - they are the reason you are here right now! Hopefully, JJReason can build one and prove once and for all, Canadians are somewhat intelligent.

Anti-Virus help

Post by kidhuman »

I am getting a conflict with my Norton anti-virus in which it wont enable. I have the little yellow circle with exclamation point in it over the icon in the lower right task/tool bar. My Zone alarm will not load up either. I have uninstalled Zone Alarm and re-installed it and have the same issue in which it wont load up. I have attempted to delete Norton to reinstall and it wont, keep getting a fatal error in installation message and it wil not re-install.

I have ran spyware, ad-ware removers, also defragged the computer. I tried to run a virus scan, but it wont, because of the situation. Any help here would be appreciated.

well, it seems I just got it figured out, I ran system restore and it fixed it. Will it be a temp fix or should it be good to go from here?

i don't really know, seeing as how i have never ran any commercial anti-virus software. ever.

just browse and email smart. you'll never be susceptible to viruses if you don't let them in.

on a side note, just in case, i do have adaware and spybot search & destroy installed. i also use "hijack this" but that's for extreme cases of IE6 letting crap in. haven't needed it since i stopped using IE.
Life is short. STUNT IT!

So far the system restore has helped, it is working fine now, doing scans and getting updates. Zone Alarm is working good to. I am running Spy-bot S&D and ad-aware which were fine.
