Screw Norton

fucking firewall.. pisses me the fuck off.. i uninstall it because it is eating too much of my memory.. by this time i am suspicious and think that it is a trojan.. i try to run the executable and the fucker doesnt even launch.. i go to the program files folder for that program and find no uninstall file.. so i boot up in safe mode, and delete the folder and remove the registry entries for it and restart.. that is when i discover that i can't connect to the net.. i reinstalled the firewall and here i am.. what pissed me off is that NORTON disabled my firewall.. when i uninstalled norton and tried to run my firewall, it wouldn't run...

FUCK NORTON..

What's Norton?

Ralph Cramden's best friend and upstairs neighbor in "The Honeymooners".. jk

Norton as in Norton Antivirus and Norton Systemworks..

(bdx shut up i know what you are thinking..)

Oh,I use a different Virus Protection........

In Windows its Opera, but in Knoppix (linux) i use Konqueror, it's like a cross between firefox and opera.. i'd use opera, but i haven't figured out how to install a program on an linux O/S that runs off of a cd..

So is that bad?

1- Aeon situation closed. end of story.

2- norton always seemed to be crappy for me, it never caught/prevented alot of viruses despite it's advanced bloodhound heuristics detection system, and when it did register a virus i still had to always go and manually remove it, even if it was one that never triggered or was in a zip folder. it also never stopped any viruses from getting on my system, i got hacked twice with viruses implanted that should have been removed upon entry. plus i found that it consumed so much of my pc's system resources that it literally took 10 minutes to start up the computer. (even though the computer is still fairly good, its a 4 yr old compaq presario 6000 with 1.53 ghz amd processor, 256 ram, 60 gig hd, dvd drive and cr-rw drive, which i still have and it still works perfect. )

3- people can flirt with who ever they want, as long as it goes no further who cares.
you can't control other people and trying won't help. if both sides understand that it's not serious (which flirting is just for fun anyway right?) and they are cool with it then we should be too.

you aint lying about that.. get this.. i was under attack a few months ago.. long story short, i did something i shouldn't have... and i ran a norton scan on my computer and it found nothing.. i downloaded and ran an avg scan, and it found 42 threats.. i am not joking one bit.. i got sick of the stuff that was going on, so i just formatted and reinstalled windows.. since then i have not used norton..

ya i try to tell my mom an dad that norton sucks but they dont lisen
Thx god i have my own comp there is virused up the yinyang

you should link them to my and vz's previous posts.. i had a very good firewall, but Symantec bought the company that manufactures it, and the firewalls are now discontinued, as is the ability to update it.. so i've no choice but to go with zone alarm.. i hate that firewall because it is so hard to configure.. when i figured it out, it still killed net access for my programs..

i got a good firewall...cuase i use NETGEAR works pretty perfect for me...

I use Trend Micro Internet Security,it is really good.

I used to use Sygate, that was the best firewall i have ever used.. but like i said, Symantec bought the company, and that is why i cant update my firewall anymore.. hell i cant even change any of the settings..

Well,that SUCKS,don't it?

I hate foozschmunkichitty Norton, HATE!! I have to shut off the interntet security just to get on the internet, what the bloody schma kinda cizzlenud is that?
