Hi danieldo

Are both AVG and Norton up-to-date?

Dear Shaba,

AVG Free Edition is up-to-date, and I'm not using Norton.

I thought I had uninstalled the Norton anti-virus. If Norton is not uninstalled, then I would guess that it is not up to date, but I don't see Norton running on the task bar, nor in the list of "All Programs" from the Start Menu, nor in the list of programs in the "Add or Remove Programs" window. Although I haven't checked all 63 of the processes listed under the "Processes" tab of the "Windows Task Manager" none appear to belong to Norton.

Your assistance I greatly appreciated,
Daniel

Hi

Please don't use colorful font in the future.

Then we next uninstall Norton.

Ensure that windows own firewall is on.

After that:

Follow these instructions and post back a fresh HijackThis log.

Dear Shaba,

wow, that was quick.

I downloaded and ran the Norton Removal Tool, but it opens a window that says that I must first uninstall Symantec AntiVirus 8 through the "Add/Remove Programs" (attached is a screen capture of this window). In the "Add or Remove Programs" window I cannot locate this programs listing.
Now I found the "Symantec AntiVirus" subfolder under the "Programs Files" folder. So, I'm wondering, if instead of uninstalling the Norton AntiVirus, can I update it and start using it along with, or instead of AVG Free Edition antivirus?

Hi

Let's check this then:

  1. Please download and install CCleaner Slim.
  2. Once installed, double click on the desktop shortcut created.
  3. On the leftmost column, click on Tools.
  4. On the middle column, click on Uninstall.
  5. At the bottom right hand corner, click on the Save to text file... button.
  6. By default, it saves this file to C:\Program Files\CCleaner named install.txt. You may want to save it to your desktop to find it easily. Click Save.
  7. Close CCleaner.

Note: Doing this will not uninstall any programs. It will only produce a log of installed programs on your computer.

Hi

Uninstall Symantec AntiVirus Client via add/remove programs and then continue with my previous instructions, please :)

instead of uninstalling the Norton AntiVirus, can I update it and start using it along with, or instead of AVG Free Edition antivirus?

Yes if you then uninstall AVG.

I've uninstalled AVG 7.5 build 516 (12/18/2007). When the uninstallation had completed, a balloon notice from the task bar informed me to check the Virus Protection status (attached screen capture).

I'd like to thank you for your intensive assistance.

Hi

Try to first update Norton and let me know if it helped.

I updated Norton (I ran the Symantec AntiVirus LiveUpdate) and restarted the computer, but I'm still getting the notice "Symantec AntiVirus reports that it is installed, but its status is unknown....". But this doesn't bother me much, as long as I know that the Symantec AntiVirus is installed and operating. Is all this related to my computer running so slowly?
