fucking firewall.. pisses me the fuck off.. i uninstall it because it is eating too much of my memory.. by this time i am suspicious and think that it is a trojan.. i try to run the executable and the fucker doesnt even launch.. i go to the program files folder for that program and find no uninstall file.. so i boot up in safe mode, and delete the folder and remove the registry entries for it and restart.. that is when i discover that i can't connect to the net.. i reinstalled the firewall and here i am.. what pissed me off is that NORTON disabled my firewall.. when i uninstalled norton and tried to run my firewall, it wouldn't run...

FUCK NORTON.. :angry:

What's Norton?

Ralph Cramden's best friend and upstairs neighbor in "The Honeymooners".. jk

Norton as in Norton Antivirus and Norton Systemworks..

(bdx shut up i know what you are thinking..)

Oh,I use a different Virus Protection........

In Windows its Opera, but in Knoppix (linux) i use Konqueror, it's like a cross between firefox and opera.. i'd use opera, but i haven't figured out how to install a program on an linux O/S that runs off of a cd.. :blink:

So is that bad?

1- Aeon situation closed. end of story.

2- norton always seemed to be crappy for me, it never caught/prevented alot of viruses despite it's advanced bloodhound heuristics detection system, and when it did register a virus i still had to always go and manually remove it, even if it was one that never triggered or was in a zip folder. it also never stopped any viruses from getting on my system, i got hacked twice with viruses implanted that should have been removed upon entry. plus i found that it consumed so much of my pc's system resources that it literally took 10 minutes to start up the computer. (even though the computer is still fairly good, its a 4 yr old compaq presario 6000 with 1.53 ghz amd processor, 256 ram, 60 gig hd, dvd drive and cr-rw drive, which i still have and it still works perfect. )

3- people can flirt with who ever they want, as long as it goes no further who cares.
you can't control other people and trying won't help. if both sides understand that it's not serious (which flirting is just for fun anyway right?) and they are cool with it then we should be too.

you aint lying about that.. get this.. i was under attack a few months ago.. long story short, i did something i shouldn't have... and i ran a norton scan on my computer and it found nothing.. i downloaded and ran an avg scan, and it found 42 threats.. i am not joking one bit.. i got sick of the stuff that was going on, so i just formatted and reinstalled windows.. since then i have not used norton..

ya i try to tell my mom an dad that norton sucks but they dont lisen
Thx god i have my own comp there is virused up the yinyang

you should link them to my and vz's previous posts.. i had a very good firewall, but Symantec bought the company that manufactures it, and the firewalls are now discontinued, as is the ability to update it.. so i've no choice but to go with zone alarm.. i hate that firewall because it is so hard to configure.. when i figured it out, it still killed net access for my programs..

i got a good firewall...cuase i use NETGEAR works pretty perfect for me...

I use Trend Micro Internet Security,it is really good.

I used to use Sygate, that was the best firewall i have ever used.. but like i said, Symantec bought the company, and that is why i cant update my firewall anymore.. hell i cant even change any of the settings..

Well,that SUCKS,don't it?

I hate foozschmunkichitty Norton, HATE!! I have to shut off the interntet security just to get on the internet, what the bloody schma kinda cizzlenud is that?

heh, i still have sygate, and it still works fine for me (i don't get any new updates but oh well.) as for antivirus i get mcaffee for free from my university. and i have that installed on both my laptop and my home desktop. i use to use norton but it let me down so much, and after i got hacked for the second time ( the hacker inserted a version of the fx bropia trojan ) and norton never stopped it despite it recognised it instantly. then when i went to get rid of it i had to download a special tool from norton to remove it. then i had to reboot in safe mode, run the special program and then run norton, it took about 6 or 7 hours to get my system back up and running again virus free.

i have norton....i dont know what to get thats better :/

i have avg.. that is what i am using for the time being..

heh, you could probably use no antivirus and still be better off than using norton




(please dont actually try this, there are just to many viruses out there now to be careless.)

i use avg its free:)

I agree... it won't let me watch Flash unless I disable it!

You use McAfee!?!?! I H.A.T.E. McAfee!!!!!!!!! Try Trust, or I think that's what it's called, I haven't had any problems with that at all. McAfee would not let me play Halo, I read in the manual that some AntiVirus systems don't allow it, just so happens that it's one of those.

Also, yeah... "I wouldn't be caught dead using those things" ~ Sonic. Both Norton and McAfee can kiss my rear end! Along with a few others.

As for B.A. I wish I could do something to help you, but:
1. I have no clue where you live
2. Even if I did, I may never be able to get a drivers license because I was born with an eye problem *sob*

Norton Internet Security - Disabled, that's what it says when I place my pointer above the Nortan symbol with the red circle and a white x at the bottom right hand corner, ... stupid Norton, Norton Must DAI!!! x infinity^infinity+infintiy.

yes use avg in sted

All windows Xp users use Norton though!

all xp users use norton? no not all, but a good portion do.

well avg may be free but so is mcaffee for me, and i could use it but 2 antivirus scanners would use too much system resources to be worth it. though i may get a copy of avg and have it in reserve just in case something happens.

meh! my father knew nortron was bad when i first got xp so he disabled it...

Well... I want a sniper rifle so i can shoot the guy how made norton!

no use the rilfe to pick off bush

You guys are strange,and also,on topic,I don't know what Norton is,only of it,but it sounds like it sucks.....

Several things i would use a sniper for... Just to make the world better...

lol

You know... I thought Ba was against swearing... *burst out laughing*
Can't stop... laughing
*Few minutes later*
Ok i've calmed down... I'll try to do this without laughing...
Tons of things ruin life...Norton is just one

*Burst out laughing again*
(I had to retype because of laughing... I did really laugh)

well i think norton is crap

What's worse is bloody health and safety!

I HATE HEALTH AND SAFETY!!!!IF I GET AN AK I"M GONNA KILL THEM
DIE!!!CENSORED! I"LL KILL THEM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The bit which was censored is a 12+ so pls no one moan about missing the bit with swear words....

lets see it

look i dont know what this health and safety business is all about.. but if it will help protect you and your country, then it can't be a bad thing, now can it? whatever the case, it has nothing to do with this topic.. if you wish to discuss this then, by all means, feel free to start a topic about it, and make some logical arguments as to why you feel it is a bad idea.. instead of posting how you want to take an AK and kill them.. it makes you sound irrational, unintelligible, and unintelligent..

I use Avast and I'm happy of it. Eariler I was using pc cillin and, oh my god the viruses destroyed all the system. When I got Avast it found abou 250 viruses :blink: :blink: :blink: Pc Cillin is a crap. I don't know much about norton but my pal had it and he wasn't happy of it :idontknow:

I've actually been looking around for some neutral top ten comparisons between whats out there.., but i found out that some of these companies are messed up enough to claim that they were recommended by pc world.. has anyone tried Panda Antivirus?

Lol... Ba! The world is being taken over by health and safety you can bare;y do anything fun in Britian accept what i put down
