Norton :X - DamonD - 19.11.2014
hi,
i really need some help. A few days ago I installed a trial of Norton 360, and now I am realizing my proxy shit is all fucked up. It traces back to Norton being incorectly configured. How can I correct this?
Due to this,
IE, an shits don't even work anymore. And when I try to get support from norton, it's fucking busy.
Any tips?

Have you tried uninstalling norton? I don't really recommend it. Personally, I'd use G-Data or AVG

Here is a tip: Don't install anti viruses, or firewalls.
They just do more 'damage'.
1 ) They don't detect most of the viruses
2 ) Its useless, they hardly help if you know what you're downloading.
3 ) They use systems resources.
So just uninstall it.

I have uninstalled it. I had Norton once before(how-ever I believe it was a different product. How-ever, my proxy shit is still screwed up, and I don't have any system restore points I guess. I really am stressed :X I.E isn't even working -_- along with some important programs and functions.

I used norton before and its crap. AVG and Avast are best. You should use them
Re: Norton :X - DamonD - 19.11.2014

Try Firefox browser, it's alot faster than Internet Explorer.

You could try Norton Removal Tool. Should clear any left behind files that could cause an issue like that I would think.

Norton is not the best choice but i am using Windows defender and it's actually good.
Plus i suggest you to use Malwarebytes it's better than my anti virus once i scanned with my anti virus it found nothing then with malware bytes and it found 90+ viruses...
I had some virus i couldn't remove and thanks to malwarebytes it's removed.

I've been running Emsisoft Internet security for over a year, and never had issues with them.
Their anti-virus is light, it isn't a resource eater(like Comodo), and runs perfectly.
The Common-Sense doesn't work nowadays, when most of the virus are downloaded without our knownledge, in background, by using browser exploits, or even javascript.
As well, I use Emsisoft because it detects near every malicious software and scripts on the internet.
If I didn't had emsisoft and hitmanpro.alert a few days back, I'm quite sure I would get a cryptolocker + ransomware in my computer.
As well the behavior blocker of emsisoft is awesome.
There are several kind of anti-virus who sucks, and Norton for me, is one of them, Panda antivirus is another, and the one who sucks the best is MCaffee(is that the name?)
