I dunno. Probably did it just for fun or because the plumbing got clogged with porn. One or the other.
It was just a crazy idea of mine. Comp was moving slow. Way too much starting and running in the background and even if I do the msconfig thing and have nothing starting and then go into the task manager and shut down applications and processes manually, for some reason, given a few minutes, the damned things would restart on their own. And Nortons antivirus shit, once that gets on your comp is there no way to remove it? I tried uninstalling whatever Norton things I could find, manually deleting whatever I could find related to Nortons, stopping all processes that have to do with Nortons. Yet I still get fukin' popups telling me to update my Nortons, warning me Nortons is out of date etc etc.
I wipe the whole thing, but damned Nortons is reinstalled with my Recovery Disks. So that is one problem that shall never go away it seems.
So my wipe has cleaned up background processes and apps., computer responds faster than before the wipe so I'm happy with the results.
Anyone know how to erradicate Nortons from a computer?
I just removed Norton from my sister's laptop. All I did was go into control panel>programs>uninstall a program and uninstalled Norton.
