          hi
          bigally
          norton is shite...

          you need to go to there site and get the norton removal tool
          for your product

          no good masking over with another program untill you
          remove that bloated piece of garbage called norton

          otherwise it will just keep comin back to haunt you

                Norton removal

                Hi,
                Get the norton removal tool from the norton site, and remove it. Then download Avast Home from Avast.com this is free. This is better than most of the paid for progs.
                Next download Malwarebytes free this will take care of all your fake antivirus 2009 scams ect. Then if you want an excellent firewall try comodo free .
                These 3 together beat any paid for security programs.
                enjoy.
