"speeding" up a computer

[Tom_1569]

If you have uninstalled the any nortons products, I would recommend downloading the Nortons Removal Tool. This will remove any traces of the product that are left.

Damn theirs a program to do it for me :bang: Will definitly come in handy in the future, I feel so satisfied after removing every trace of norton and its crappy product

I use security centre on all my comps, its easier to use, even mum knows how to scan a file lol. It scans emails and has the site advisor, plus very good licencing which makes me very happy.
When unistalling Norton make sure you got all of it off, that thing is worse then a virus, it hides itself all over the joint.

just used the norton cleaner above, there was still more norton crap on my PC. fortunatly i get McAfee free through my ISP.

i'm now down to 29 processes (in task manager) down from 43. things seem to be going a little quicker. certainly boots a bit quicker now.

i also ran that hijack this program. seems like there is alot of crap there as well but i don't know enough about PC's to screw around there
