[smokin_mitch]

I was using norton 360 for several months with no dramas until the other day it started going hay-wire!! uninstalled it now i cannot reinstall it! installation keeps failing? i have contacted symantec tech support and they cant help me either??? they say i have a virus thats why i cannot install it but i dont have a virus iv formatted my pc and tried to install it and still it fails? im forced to use avg anti virus pro unless some1 can help me?

I'm on Vista Ultimate 64-bit and can't find one I like either...

WOW. I just installed Symantec Client Security yesterday and since then my PC is in a continuous reboot.
This morning I got an error "windows cannot find the "system32 directory"

This is also a fresh install............thankfully, as I'm just about to reinstall XP.

I think it's the Firewall that's doing it, as before this happened, Firefox would crash and the firewall would prompt me saying there was an attack.from IP 192.168.*.* How can I be attacked from my own LAN
My LAN consists of a Linux box, the XP rig and my Laptop (linux)
The XP rig wasn't even on the correct workgroup yet......

I have used Symantec AV before and no problems...........I wouldn't even touch a Norton product though (Norton = home users market | Symantec AV = Corp market)

I am a user of NOD32 for a long time now and will go to Vista with it

ok it turns out that norton doesnt like you overclocking your pc to much

I lowered my overclock to 3Ghz and installed norton 360 and it worked

when i tried to install norton 360 with it overclocked at 3.5Ghz it failed several times
also at 3.5GHZ my msn stopped singing me in automatically at start-up

now iv lowered my overclock to 3Ghz all is well

Norton is a virus. Go with NOD32 or Kaspersky.

EDIT: It isn't really a virus, but I just say it is since it massively hogs system resources and takes forever to scan and still misses important things.

I have tried Kaspersky it stuffed up big time I won't touch it again , I have never heard of nod32 but im running vista 64 so unless they have nod64 I don't think it will work?

Yes its true previous norton anti-virus and internet security were completely crap and hogged resources, but Norton 360 works great (no startup-or shut-down errors like prev versions of norton and not a resource hog)

I'm running norton 360 on my vista 64 machine and my other xp pro machine never had anyprobs (until i started overclocking @3.5Ghz thats when norton 360 began stuffing up @ 3.2 it works again) but that wasnt really norton's fault it was just an unstable overclock
