I use Nortons 2007 on my main PC at home, apart from taking a while to load it works OK. But when I loaded it on my other PC and it stuck when it tried to run liveupdate. Despite reinstalling a number of times and using a tool downloaded from Symantec designed to cure the problem no luck. It just wouldn't run liveupdates correctly and if I tried stopping it Nortons insisted that I had to wait for liveupdate to finish first.

In the end I removed Nortons completely  surrender:

...and downloaded AVG happy088

Is spyware the same as adware?

no
Spyware steals things like bank details
Adware takes over on the interweb, redirecting to it's own sites.

Speaking of which . . . . .










The statement at the top of each thread, you know, the bit after the pages, that says "GO DOWN" - is that an offer or a command?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!
