Oh ya, I noticed that the norton installation setup file or program to install norton is still in my drive...do I just toss that in the garbage? I think the answer is no, but maybe this is what is causing the problem.

yes I did.

hmmm... don't remember if I rebooted. I'll do that after I figure out why norton AV is popping up when I'm trying to install AVG. I uninstalled norton and rebooted after that, I'm sure.

I'm trying to install AVG, but when I open the exe file, it goes to 2003 norton AV installation instead. I already "uninstalled" norton, but obviously there are still components in my PC. what the heck do I do???

praetor, I downloaded the fix, ran adaware and it did it again... so it didn't work.

praetor, Two problems that I failed to mentioned popped up when I clicked on the link you provided. When I click on the link, the window appears and then quickly disappears for no reason. I have to click on the link again, sometimes 3-5 times and the window finally stays. But sometimes it...

don't have a firewall (or I do but I don't know) I mentioned this at another forum and someone suggested downloading zonealarm. I just did, but I don't know what to do with it. Someone also said it might me worm.blaster or whatever, but I think I fixed this when it came out last summer. and...

has anyone used this? I bought it and then read reviews on a couple of websites...sounds like everyone hates it. I just bought because the guy at fry's said it was good (LAME!). I think I'm going to return it. But what should I get? I read good stuff about AVP(I think that's what it is)...

my computer (XP) has started to run slowly. Every minute my computer will just freeze for 5 seconds. So I did a virus scan, ad-aware and spybot. but nothing. Also, lavasoft released a new version of ad-aware (SE) which I downloaded. When I start the scan, a windows box pops up saying I...
