I dropped Norton when I got Vista. The updates don't work well and there wasn't any update for works '06. ( I still have/had some subscription time for that) Using Kaspersky now.

Just bought a new PC. One of the first things I did was uninstall the Norton suite it came with and get my trusty old Zone Alarm/AVG combo back
P.S. Windows Defender is not a bad bit of software either....

Cheers thanks mate!
BTW the Vista compatible versions are now released. Anyone with a 2007 copy can get the vista release if needed.

Tim, I think I'll have to uninstall it and reinstall it again as it's still happening - it has some problem when it tries to scan my external drive (though it didn't before). It also has an issue with my VPN - when I log off my VPN now it crashes my system and has a problem with ccsvchost.exe (again, didn't happen before). The problem is, when I uninstall it, I don't think it fully uninstalls because when I reinstall the problem keeps recurring. Do you know how to totally wipe it, so I can start all over again with a clean install?

There is normally a complete uninstall tool available online. I will try and track it down for you as I can't only find the rnis tool for 2005 and below.
Best bet for starters is to uninstall it in safe mode.

Hey mems,
Do you want to PM me your contact details (email or phone) I sent your request off to one of our senior engineers who is going to have one of the techs look into it. he hasn't seen this issue before so he would like to work it out.

I checked the Symantec site and they recommend that I upgrade to the Windows Vista compatible version but the upgrade site is constantly not available (I used IE7 and after installing the ActiveX control to upgrade the site redirects me to an OpenDNS search page). http://www.symantec.com/windowsvistasupport Anyway, if you want to tell the engineer that the problems are: 1. NIS compatibility with my VPN 2. issues with (clean) uninstalling NIS2007 Cheers mate! |
