Sounds like you may have spyware or a virus, head to the spyware sub-forum and follow the guides and post a hijack this log in said forum.

Can i run my Norton anti virus scan?

**Dave Hybrid** · #4 27-02-2008, 05:14 PM

Norton is rubbish, please follow the instructions in the virus/spyware forum, there are guidelines for proper spyware/virus removal for a reason, it isn't as simple as running a quick scan.

Avast, it's free and performs better than any of the paid alternatives IMO.

When removing Norton be sure to do so using the Norton Removal Tool.

So tht anti virus u use is better, so my laptop wont fk up or get messed up when i get rid of norton

Yes it is better, however anti-virus software is just a removal tool not a prevention.

If your system is infected and by what you said it is simply changing to another anti-virus isn't going to make a scrap of difference.

Why is norton crap ?

**Dave Hybrid** · #11 27-02-2008, 05:46 PM

Because it's an overpriced, bloated piece of software that isn't actually very good at removing viruses.

I suggest you don't uninstall Norton until you have posted a log and someone has looked over it. You could end up with many more viruses in that time.

You can uninstall it once the virus has gone.
