Re: [nukkad] Virus protection--suggestions for

["Indian Rediff" <>]

One important thing you might want to look at is REMOVING Norton. It
is not easy. I have read some of the caveats about depending on the
automated removal process - it simply doesn't do a thorough job. And
yes - this is their own software that they are trying to remove and
are miserably unsuccessful at doing so.

It is so bad that Norton has a web site dedicated to attempting to
remove Norton. 
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

This should work for most people. However, there are certain registry
entries that get forgotten.

Why is this important?

Because Norton interferes with the installation and use of other
anti-virus and security software. In my case, e.g., Avast simply
refuses to install itself completely because it sees Norton installed.

I happen to subscribe to windowssecrets, a list that is quite good in
terms of giving you little secrets about Windows. here is the
particular issue that talked about this

Symantec is not the only company with this problem as is noted in the article.

Good luck!
