Norton will fail you. Time and time again, I receive phone calls from users that had Norton installed at the factory and never purchase another subscription. You guess it the PC is infected. I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 100% of the time. I blog about my work visit my blog for more info.
i used to reccomment Norton about 5 years ago, now i advise people to avoid it like the plague. As IT admin i experience lots of problems with symantec endpoint, lots of users getting infected laptops and nortons usual response is to freeze and crash. I always end up installing a free AV to remove the infections, then ninstall it again. Pathetic Norton, where did it all go wrong?
I can’t get past the step where you rename the file in order to stop Security Shield from detecting it. I renamed it to ‘myfile’, ‘myfile.exe’ and even tried ‘catsanddogs’, nothing works! It just keeps falsely detecting it and preventing me from installing it.
Any help? Thanks
