-=PCTechTalk=- Re: norton problems

I have not the skill nor the knowledge to pull things apart..asside from the 
fact this a brand NEW computer under warranty...if I mess with it then the 
there is a problem besides the one I have. I have heard that so to speak 
SOME programs set up to be the only kid on the block and they won't let 
anything ELSE in. I didn't choose this program... it was included in a 
bundle..had I known I would have said NO...but it went along with another 
program I have already dumped and replaced with other spyware stuff. THAT 
did download... it's the firewalls etc that won't work. IF I can get 
SOMETHING on a disk that I can install offline AFTER I supposedly remove 
Norton, I might be alright. I can update online...I was wondering if I could 
buy AVG on disk..and then go the route of uninstall Norton. I don't want to 
be without something online.  hmmmmmm.
