In Reply to: Norton Antivirus kills another recording ! posted by Bambi B on May 14, 2008 at 10:43:42:
if your livelihood is dependent upon the sales of Norton Antivirus.
For your Win98 system, you'll have to go into your startup file and change Norton so that it does not start when the computer is turned on. Then you'll have to start your computer again. Use the control panel to remove all of the Norton programs (there are probably three or four individual programs). And last but not least, then you'll have to use Explorer to go through your HDD and manually wipe out all of the Norton program remnants and folders that remain. And be sure to empty the old trash can. ;~)
Norton is designed to be as obnoxious and pesky as possible so that you'll opt to renew instead of getting rid of it. I was so angry with their tactics that I took great delight in the time I spent exorcising it from my computer. As I recall, I sang Klingon war songs throughout the effort.
I use Zone Alarm, although I am not sure if it is compatible with 98.
