I paid for the Avast anti-virus software, but we keep getting a Norton pop-up every 10 seconds that interrupts everything including the downloads. It tells us that the Norton program is out of date and actually takes over the computer (my wife’s). That’s it for Norton in this family; I can’t believe they could do something so intrusive. Any help to stop or remove the program from Windows 98?
SPECIFICALLY, WHAT Norton product was on your
wife's computer ? In addition, we have MANY "threads"
on the "process" of COMPLETELY REMOVING Norton;
have you used this forum's "search" to try and find
any of them ? They have COMPLETE Instructions for the
recent Norton products .
