 had a smilar problem few days ago. I have a Samsung ATIV Tab Pro with Windows 8. It updated it self to 8.1 and after configuration i tried to restart but it didn't open! Gave me 0xc0000001 windows.efi error. I could reach BIOS, help screen with F8 and
Recovery screen. But non of them was solved problem. Until I found this solution from a hard to discover subject > 
Press F8. This will open a screen tagged like "Start-up Configurations" with 9 options. Press
8)  Disable early launch anti-malware protection. 
After this, my Tab PC opened like nothing happened! I guess problem was caused by Norton during update which had came on PC. I deleted
Norton and installed Avast. Now it works fine! 
My point is, if you have a similar situation likes this, try this solution before recovery, USB, bla bla.. 
It is recommended to disable all protection no matter what you use when major system updates. This has been since virus software began, including Defender

  • How do I uninstall Verizon Internet Security Suite!?

    Today, I tried to open Verizon Internet security suite, only to find that it had completely stopped working. When I opened VISS I got a small window that says"this webpage could not be displayed", instead of the list of options I usually get. 
    I figured my best option would be to uninstall and reinstall VISS... But that didn't go so well. The usual method of going into the control panel, and removing it through the "Programs and Features" menu wouldn't work, because the window telling me that, "this webpage could not be displayed" kept showing up.
    Next, I tried using Revo uninstaller to remove VISS and all it's components, and the same thing happened. Revo Uninstaller deleted VISS anyway, but this ended up crippling my wireless internet connection. I had to use a system restore point to undo this... And now VISS seems to be stuck on my computer.
    Does anyone know how to completely remove verizon internet security suite from a PC? BTW My OS is Windows 7.

  • Does Firefox disable my current Norton Internet Security?

    If Firefox is the security software for Google Chrome, what happened to my current security software, Norton Internet Security 2011, for my Windows default browser, Bing? How do I enable Norton Internet Security 2011 for Google Chrome?

    One other note. Firefox allows two situations in which some or all toolbars may be hidden:
    * Full Screen Mode. The F11 key switches between normal view and full screen view.
    * Script-generated windows. Sometimes when you click a link you launch a window that does not have all of the features of a normal window. This allows sites to present a simplified display, more like a dialog box. If this happens, pressing Ctrl+n should always open a normal window with the full complement of controls.

  • How do I get rid of Norton Internet Security?  Migration assistant problem

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I used a firewire connection and migration assistant to transfer files. Unfortunately, the assistant transferred all my applications, even the ones I didn't want, like Norton Internet Security, which slowed down my old G4. I deleted all the Norton files, but there are still icons for Norton Auto protect and Norton Quick Menu on my System Preferences menu. I'm afraid they are responsible for the messages I get on booting up saying the system detects Norton but can't open the application. I'm also afraid its the reason that suddenly my new superfast MacPro is less fast. I can't figure out how to delete it from the system preferences - any ideas?

    Please let me reassure you. There are NO viruses effecting OSX to date. There was one virus effected OS9 ten years ago, but nothing since. The fear of viruses is a residual effect from using that other OS, which shall remain nameless, but not shameless. The only danger a Mac user faces is, spreading a virus through a network by forwarding junk emails with an infected attachment, not that anybody is that stupid, or are they? If you are using one of the main email providers, Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc, all he attachments are scanned automatically as these organizations cannot afford to have viruses in their systems.
    In a nutshell: Relax and enjoy the freedom of using a Mac.
    Furthermore: Most ex-users of the nameless OS feel the need to run defrag programs on Macs. Unnecessary! Just leave your Mac turned on overnight and it will do it itself.
    You may remember the Mac slogan, 'Think Differently'. Well, Macs do!
    Enjoy your clean install.

  • Norton Internet Security cannot scan emails the use SSL. How do I insure that I do not get a virus or malware by opening an email in Thunderbird?

    Norton Internet Security cannot scan emails the use SSL. How do I insure that I do not get a virus or malware by opening an email in Thunderbird? I have read that you don't have to click on a link to get malware but that some email can trigger malware just by opening and reading. Any suggestions to keep my emails from triggering malware? AOL Desktop software has it's own built-in email scanner but I'm trying to get away from using their software and rely just on TB.
    Thanks

    There are many aspects to this question.
    First, using SSL or TLS to send and receive email is important because it prevents others from sniffing your email login. Particularly if you are using a device over wi-fi or on untrusted networks, this is critical because if others obtain your email login, bad things can happen.
    Of course, using SSL or TLS with your mail server also protects the content of your email from being captured by others, so that's good too.
    Second, you are correct that there can be security threats in email other than the attachments, although the attachments generally are the most dangerous. Your antivirus should protect you from bad attachments because in order to open them, they need to be written to disk in a temporary folder, and your AV software leaps into action whenever a new file is added to disk. You also can hedge your bets by using a two-step approach: first save the attachment to disk and only after it survives the real-time AV scan then launch it in the appropriate application.
    Sometimes content in the message body can trigger a vulnerability in your email software or a plugin. As these vulnerabilities become known, Mozilla updates its software, but there seem to always be new issues discovered and there will never be perfect security. I'm not sure how helpful email scanning is for this problem.

  • My Norton Tool Bar became deleted somehow. I need it so my Norton Internet Security Auto Fill feature will work. How do I get this back on the menu bar?

    My Firefox Browser page use to have a Norton Safe Search Bar within the tool bar area. It has to be active thereon otherwise the Auto Fill feature of Passwords for websites I visit - which require my user name AND password - will not be filled in automatically by the Norton Internet Security 2011 software that I have on my computer.
    My Question: HOW do I get that Norton Search Bar back on my Firefox Browser Page?

    I had the same problem before, but i figured it out. This answer might be a bit late now....
    1. Open the Norton program.
    2. Scroll under PC protection and select Run Live Update
    3. Repeat step 2 until there isn't anymore updates available.
    4. Restart the PC
    5. Open Firefox browser
    6. If the toolbar isn't there, press Ctrl+shift+A
    7. Under extensions enable the Norton toolbar.

  • Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

    Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
    My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
    NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
    1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
    2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
    3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
    I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
    My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
    What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
    So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Hi !
    I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
    There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • My Norton Internet Security, Passwrd and user name auto complete doesn't work in Firefox 4

    Since updating to Firefox 4 my user name and password auto complete form Norton Internet security doesn't work.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Recent install of Norton Internet Security 2007 and Itunes ver. 7.0.2.16

    For Your Information-
    Recently did an install of Norton Internet Security 2007. Before the install "I used the Norton removal tool to uninstall NIS 2004."
    Install of NIS 2007 seemed to go OK until I later opened i-tunes and message appeared
    "I Tunes not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you must reinstall."
    Opened i-tunes and clicked about to see if drivers/dll were present(where you see itunes version # as screen scrolls up). The driver/dll were not present.
    I went to add/remove programs, highlighted itunes but instead of clicking on remove I clicked on "additional support information" where you are given the option to REPAIR. Did the repair/opened itunes and all seems to be OK for now

    I think that always happens when you use the Norton removal tool.
    A repair of install of iTunes worked for me too.

  • W541 - Norton Internet Security Popups

    I have a W541 with AVG antivirus installed.  I have used AVG for a number of years, am comfortable with it and satisfied with its performance. The W541 comes with the option to install Norton Internet Security.  The install icon appears in the taskbar.  Most irritating is the popup urging me to install Norton that appears with reqularity. Norton does not realize (or chooses to ignore) that I already have an antivirus installed.  I am given only two options, "Install" or "remain unprotected".  Clicking the remain unprotected option does not stop the incessant popups. How can I convince Norton to stop nagging me?

    Hello,
    Try opening the Uninstall or change a program (filename: APPWIZ.CPL) applet in the Control Panel and then uninstalling Norton Internet Security from there.
    When finished, restart the computer as you normally would, then download a copy of the Symantec Norton Removal Tool from http://www.symantec.com/symnrt and use that to remove any remnants not cleared about by the preceding operation.
    For instructions on how to uninstall any anti-malware software, you might want to take a look at the following article I wrote a couple of years ago https://goretsky.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/the-secret-guide-to-uninstalling-any-anti-virus-software/.  It is meant to be general in nature, but should give you a good understanding of how to uninstall anti-malware software, switch to another program, etc.

  • Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

    Hi all.
    It's my first time in this forum.
    I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
    The message I get it:
    "Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
    I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
    Tanks

    Hi and welcome to the forum,
    the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
    This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
    So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
    This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
    Please let me know, if you have covered this.
    Cheers

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?

    How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
    The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
    Thanks.

    You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
    Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
    If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

  • Very slow buffling after changing a software from Norton 360 to Norton Internet Security

    When I download movies using "Norton 360", it doesn't take long time. But when movies are downloaded, using "Norton Internet Security", it takes 10 times longer. (For one-hour movie, it takes more than 2 hours to watch it, waiting for very slow~ download/buffling).

    Antivirus software is NOT needed if the Mac you are running is only running OS X. Antivirus apps interfere with normal performance and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls into the main OS X system software impacting general performance of your Mac.
    Here are some of my tidbits of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
    Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
    Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
    Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
    Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
    Java is still a vulnerability concern,  if you do not need it, don't use it.
    Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
    Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
    Install security updates when they become available
    Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
    In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
    Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
    If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
    ClamXAV
