get rid of the trojan and is it bad doing that???I don't know about computers ..and for some reason my computer looks different to me ..help plss

oh and how do I remove norton ?? thnaks

Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for Norton and do whatever it takes to remove it,my computer WAS the same way,I'm suppose to update it by Sunday but I'm not cause I have to waste money on it,I use Avast.

Add/Remove Programs yea thats what I thought too but its not on the Add/Remove Program list...its like no where to be found??

Fun Mail me,I have to check my system as well seeing I still have Norton.

Best thing to do is to get rid of Norton. Norton is a virus itself. ha. If you want one of THE BEST a/v's out there go with NOD32. It's a pay service, but worth every penny. If you want something free then go with AVG anti virus. You can download AVG at filehippo.com and ESET NOD32 at eset.com

You should have a good anti-virus program that you run at least once a week (daily if other people use your computer or you do a lot of browsing and downloading on the net).

You should also have a good spyware program which you should run at least once a week.

You should also have a good Registry Cleaner program which you should run at least once a week.

I use all of the programs listed below. Besides being good programs, and FREE, you also have the ability to continue working on your computer (online or offline) while the program is running.

AVG is a FREE anti-virus program that is excellent

Spybot - Search Destroy removes spyware and it's FREE.

Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is good and relatively fast.

Friendship is continuous!

Those whom I meet, as Friends I greet,
And as a Friend I treat them so;
That when in need, or sadly grieved,
I may help their Spirits grow.

So when I hear, upon my ear,
The sounds of troubled Souls;
I can do no less, then to do my best,
To help them toward their goals.

And I know I'll find, with the passage of time,
That I've helped their Spirits grow some;
And though appreciated, thanks aren't awaited,
For my friends are always welcome.
