Re: Unknown error with Norton Antivirus

answer by mastercomputers

I think it's better just to ditch your pirated software and use a free antivirus like AVG from http://free.grisoft.com, NAV is a resource hog.

If you think I'm wrong in my accusations, then explain why a corporation/business would not have the means to fix a problem like this themselves or use the help of symantec support.

I've come across this error many times under medium to large companies who use NAVCE/NAVEE which purchasing a minimum of 5 licenses is not cheap. I've never seen this problem in their Home User products.

Sorry for being harsh, but you are also not the first person who asked a similar question on a board I maintain.

To fix the problem though, it's most likely just requires an update.

Actually sometimes corrupted updates cause this problem. Now since I don't use that real resource hogging monster, I don't know much about its update files. Better is to wipe it off your hard disk and re-install and then update.

Or else, the best solution is, as mastercomputers said, get AVG. Fast, simple and effective.

Hi. I had the same problem with Norton. At least 2 errors per day until I got tired. I went to an IT specialist for technical support and he decided to change my antivirus program. I suggest you do the same thing. I'll post a link http://www.trustdownload.com/Antivirus-and-Spyware-Cleaners/Antivirus/Kaspersky-Internet-Security-7.0.html, you can download the newest version of Kaspersky and start using it today.

Isn't norton a good antivirus software? Do you think I should change it too? I found on a website that it is in the top ten [url=http://www.best-antivirus.co/]best antivirus software[/url], but if you think that will make me problems, I will change it, just need to know what you recommend me to use. :)
