Norton AV 2010 beta major problem
Hi all, just thought i'd post to warn you all of my experience with norton 2010 beta for win 7 32 bit.I've always been a norton user but i must report that when i installed it on my win 7 32 bit it slowed my system down that much that i was pulling my hair out.Then when i tried to uninstall via the norton removal tool it reported that it had worked but it was still present in my software list.i then tried to remove it via the control panel and it gets stuck on 20% and after several attempts i gave up and just decided to reinstall it again but no luck........before install it tries to uninstall the previous version itself and gets stuck at 20%.I am now left with no AV and am reluctant to install another one for fear of conflict issues.The only thing i can do now is reinstall the whole OS, a right PITA!I agree that system security is important and it will always take some amount of resources but seriously my system was that slooooow with norton that any advantages gained in new tech/OS h/ware were fully negated;apart from that win7 32 bit runs wonderfully smooth and fast for me.Has anyone else had similar experience with norton product and what did you do to resolve the problem?
