HI .
In my experience with pc world machines, and I've had a few, the Norton
products are usually under something called active doc, which is a set of
aps meant to help the user. In my experience there are usually two ways of
installing xp on a Packard bell, one is with junk, and the other is without.
which you have is determined using the choices offered during the initial
recovery wizard. the Norton I saw on all the machines I had, one of which
was a Packard bell, the other an advent and the third, my current laptop,
which is a Toshiba, all have this stuff on it. the Norton internet security
is usually 90 days trial.
hth
Hope to hear from you soon.
From Martin.

: Hi Andy,
:
: I seem to remember you had a Packard Bell from PC world?
: I
: F so, then are you using a recovery disk to get data back onto the
: computer? If so, I think this is where Norton is coming in. I have a
: similar scenario with a Toshiba laptop. My advice is that if Norton is
: on the machine, then uninstalling it can cause a larger headache then
: just leaving it there. Additionally, I really wouldn't bother using
: Sygate, as the router will do inbound protection for you, and if Norton
: is still on the system, chances are that it is Norton Internet Security,
: and contains a firewall. Norton may not update because if you activated
: it several months ago, it may think the subscription is rapsed - do you
: know how long the subscription was for?
:
: PC World are doing some very strange things with systems, like taking
: companies like Toshiba who produce ok equipment, creating a separate PC
: World specific model, putting loads of junk (usually a 90 day trial of
: Norton Internet Security on it), then selling it to you with a recovery
: disk where it is not possible to not install the junk in the first
: place.
:
: As I said, if you can get Norton on there running after a clean recovery
: I think this is the way to go.
:
: Thanks.
: Andrew.

:
: Hi all.
:
: At Christmas, I bought my wife a wireless router to enable her to go on
: the
: internet with her computer, which is located upstairs. She got a
: wireless
: card installed. The router is downstairs and my computer is attached at
: that point. Since getting this router I have had nothing but problems
: and
: had to re-format several times. I've also had problems getting rid of
: Norton, which came with my computer. I re-formatted on Sunday and this
: time, rather than try to get rid of Norton and use Sygate and AVG, I
: decided
: to just let Norton do it's stuff. Unfortunately, when I did a live
: update,
: my computer seemed to crash or stall. I decided to attempt to turn
: Norton
: off and managed this, in terms of Internet Security and Anti Virus. I
: then
: installed Sygate and AVG and my old problems started again. So,
: eventually,
: to my question. Is having a router perhaps causing my problems. I
: mean,
: is there any implications when using Sygate, AVG or Norton, when you are
: attached via a Router.
:
: I've really had it with this computer and fancy just visiting PC World
: to
: get into dept again, but if the problems I am having are associated to
: my
: Router, then a new computer would not resolve anything. Any advise or
: ideas
: would be very welcomed.
:
: Best wishes.
