Re: Norton Utilities slowing my Compaq computer down online.?

April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Since I'm stuck with Norton for another year, are there any functions on it that i can disable that will make my internet faster? Any tricks besides dumping it outright? Or can I add RAM? I'm not too savvy with this stuff. Thanks in advance.

      you're never "stuck" with anything. you can simply uninstall the Norton software and install better, free software to protect your computer. i use AVG free for anti-virus and Ad-Aware for anti-spyware protection. both are good, take less resources than Norton (and McAfee) and are really stable.

      I use these programs to clean friends computers.
      It helps speed up the system and usually
      works every time unless there is some very unusual virus on the system.

      1)Get spybot search and destroy, install, update and run.
