My virus software would not run on my computer and error messages kept popping up every time I tried to run the software. I contact Norton and they checked out my computer and said it was an issue with Windows and that I needed to contact windows.1 person needs an answerI do too

What is the exact issue you are experiencing with Norton?Have you considered migrating from Norton to the freely available Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)? According to recent tests, MSE does a pretty good job of protecting Windows XP computers [1][2]. The main thing you might miss by migrating from Norton to MSE is the firewall. Your copy of Norton “probably” comes with a better firewall than the one that is built into XP. If on the other hand, you were to upgrade to Windows 7 and then use MSE, you would get the enhanced security of Windows 7 along with a 2 way Win7 firewall and the antivirus protection of MSE which would be an excellent combination.

As such, I feel reasonably safe running the freely available MSE on top of Windows 7 Ultimate. I don’t see any reason to pay for an expensive annual AV Subscription when Microsoft can provide me with a free AV Solution that is comparable to most antivirus products currently on the market.Warning: Absolutely no warranty express or implied comes with this post.
