  3. Norton Antivirus and Internet Security, uninstalling

    Date: 03/05/05 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: security, virus, antivirus

    Hi,

    I recently bought a Packard Bell laptop that came with Norton Internet Security and AntiVirus preinstalled but no media. I get Sophos Antivirus free through work and prefer ZoneAlarm for security so would really like to uninstall Norton. I've tried going through Control Panel!Add/Remove Programs and looking for an uninsrall icon but there doesn't seem to be one. I've disabled them both but each time I reboot I get prompted to to re-enable them.

    Anyone know how I can remove them? (I'm used to UNIX where everything is open and honest; no hidden stuff, it's all in text files where you can see it)

    TIA

  6. associsdangerous error msg

    Date: 03/23/05 (Computer Help)    Keywords: virus, antivirus, web, spyware, microsoft

    i apologize in advance because i know this will turn into a lengthy post, as i have searched high and low for the answer(s) to my problem.. and found several solutions, some of which contradict each other.. and i am at a loss.. literally. since my computer will no longer boot up.

    my issue is this.. i receive this error msg when i try to start up my computer (hp,running on windows xp home edition):

    1) winlogon.exe entry point not found. Procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll. When I click on "ok" or the "x" , I get

    2) Logon user interfce dll msgina.dll failed to load. This restarts computer back to the first error. I cannot get past this.


    from what i have read... several ppl have had this issue after doing some sort of windows update on xp dealing with service pack 1 i think it is. however, i thought i had a virus since my computer was all sorts of acting up (saying low on memory, going reaaaally slow, and my internet explorer would not revert back to homepage and obvious adware, etc)...

    so i decided to uninstall and reinstall internet explorer.. hoping it would at least help for a bit so i could run my spyware/adware programs to get rid of some of it (i have netscape as backup).. so i do that, and i go to restart my computer and this happens.. it will not even boot in safe mode.

    i then go out and get norton antivirus, hoping this will get my "virus" and i create some emergency disks.. only to find there is no virus at all.. and after some more research i learn it is a microsoft problem.

    i guess i will get to my real point out of all of this. has anyone else had this issue or known someone with it before? what did you/they do to fix it? i have heard of using the XP cd to boot into Recovery Mode to fix the corrupted files.. and then i've read not to go into Recovery Console at all because that will mess it up? i really do not know.

    Also, my other big issue is that.. i do not have my XP nor a factory restore cd or anything. my computer came with it previously installed.. and anyone else in the house either had the same or has no idea where it is. so i'm stuck. i can make emergency boot disks from the microsoft website..however, it says at the end of the instructions that to finish the set up, i will need the cd anyway. any suggestions? thank you so much in advance!!

  7. screensaver stops working

    Date: 04/03/05 (Computer Help)    Keywords: software, virus, antivirus, spyware

    I'm using a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop that's running Windows XP Home w/SP2, and I've been having issues with my screensaver. I didn't change my screensaver settings or anything recently, and about three days ago my screensaver stopped working. I had my screensaver set to turn on after 10 minutes, and when I noticed that it wasn't starting automatically, I changed the settings so the screensaver would turn on after one minute. I tried changing my screensaver from 3D pipes to Starfield. It still didn't work. I also have my settings such that my screen is to turn off after one hour, and it doesn't do that either. I've tried using XP's Help and Support with no luck, and I've tried Googling to no avail. I've done spyware scans and I've run my antivirus software as well, and I found nothing wrong. I just don't understand how my screensaver could just stop working when I've done nothing to change the settings. If anyone has any advice or solutions, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  9. Norton AntiVirus 2005

    Date: 04/15/05 (Computer Help)    Keywords: virus, antivirus

    I bought Norton AntiVirus 2005 AGES ago. [Before Christmas, probably sometime in October/November.] I had problems installing it, tried contacting Symantec, didn't get any help, and forgot about it.

    I decided to try again today. And I'm getting the same problem. I can pretty much install the program okay, I get the "Installation is finished, please restart your computer message" so I restart. However, upon restarting, the Configuration Wizard does not open. In fact, nothing happens. When I try to open NAV, I got an error message saying that the computer must be rebooted or something before running the program, but I found an answer to that problem here, by "restoring the default value". Even so, now NOTHING happens when I try to open the program. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a million times, and it's the same every time.

    I'm running Windows XP [Home Edition] and that's all I know because I'm pretty much a compu-tard.

    Can anyone help?

  12. We'll all be better off if you just assume I'm clueless.

    Date: 04/25/05 (Computer Help)    Keywords: security, virus, antivirus, web

    My Windows 98 SE has gone kaput. Kernel32.dll errors every which way, random reboots, all that jazz. I've got Norton AntiVirus and Personal Firewall (which crashes frequently, too), I run defrag and scandisk (not frequently enough, I admit), I run Spybot and AdAware and I have a copy of HJT. The only thing that seems to be wrong is, well, Windows. It acts like it's killing itself -- the autoimmune disease of computing, I suppose.
    Now, I have terrible memory when it comes to time and order and such (something could have happened last week or two years ago, it's the same in my brain), so I can't quite tell you when this all started. I've had the computer for going on three years now.

    It's currently "networked" to a computer running WindowsXP. We tried doing it ourselves, but we ended up calling in a professional, who got the internet hooked up between them but couldn't get anything else to work (said that some 98 copies just won't network properly with XP). I can't trade anything between the computers, but as I said, I do have internet. He had to modify something in the bios to even it that far, which is why I'm wary about formatting it.

    My Norton subscription is running out in a few days, and I was planning on wiping my main drive before I renewed it (so I could reinstall it and everything else before it's renewed). Now, my mother and I can handle the wiping and reinstall part well enough (or we did on previous computers) but my main concern is that I won't be able to get the net up again, which is my primary motivation for having my own computer in the first place.

    If necessary I might be able to get XP, but I hate it with a, er, mild passion. It would make networking and compatibility issues easier, I know, but I have some programs that only run on 98 (like Petz3, which I'm quite fond of, thank you) and frankly I just don't trust it. We've had problems with it storing information, including browsing stuff, that we can't delete, and that's a big nightmare for me. (Would switching completely to Firefox solve this? I only run IE on my computer because Firefox will randomly crash it).

    Both our computers are custom-built. If it would be less hassle I might be able to convince my mother to just take it in and get it done. The people who work where we got them are very nice and very helpful and rarely charge a lot (they gave us a free upgrade when they messed something up once -- try to get that service from Best Buy). Alternately, my friend's uncle does computer repair and may have an idea of what to do.

    Info: Custom-built by Advanced Computer Services. Running Windows98SE, 512 RAM (I don't know what type -- I'm on the other computer right now), 40gb master drive and 80gb slave drive. I believe I have a 1800+ Athlon processor (which is excellent and great and has worked wonderfully and I love it so much better than any Pentium I've had and all that). I've got Norton Internet Security 2004 (the AntiVirus needed renewed a month ago, but I've only been on about five times since then).

    Looking for suggestions: Wipe it and reinstall 98, or try to get XP? Don't wipe it, just try to figure out what's wrong? If I do wipe and put in 98, how do I deal with the internet problem?

    I'm pretty savvy with things like web and graphic design (and I haven't had a virus in years), but when it comes to OS's and networking I'm rather lost.

    I'll answer any questions you ask about my computer -- I know I left a lot of stuff out, and I can't remember what. (I swear I don't do drugs and I haven't suffered any head trauma, I just naturally lack any usable memory.)

    I finally got around to re-installing Norton Anti-Virus, after over a year without it. Of course, it was too late. I did a scan, and a lot of viruses weren't able to be deleted. Also, I keep getting a virus alert for W32.Desktophijack and Trojan.Desktophijack.B it says Unable to repair this file and Access to the file was denied. So how do I go about getting rid of those?

    Scanning with AVG didn't much, except a "Virus Detected" warning:
    "While opening file: F:\WINNT\system32\jwrxdqg.exe Trojan horse BackDoor.Small.31.AE"

    When I click on Info/Heal/Delete File/Move To Vault options on the AVG window, I get "Requested action not available for this object" error. I scanned with Norton AntiVirus, CCleaner, HijackThis, Ad Aware SE, and just about every other tool that claims they can get rid of this to no avail.

    Anyone had this happen and/or know the solution?

    Thanks heaps in advance,
    Cath
