So my Norton Anti-virus expired, and I haven't gotten the chance to go buy a new one or to renew it online. But I don't think I'll purchase Norton again. I think it was because of Norton and it's stupid glitches that almost made my computer crash. I lost count of how many system restores I had to do just so that Norton could finally install some stupid 360 update program that didn't come with my software in the first place. It just kept shutting off for no reason, the full system scan only removed cookies, and yet I saw some trojan viruses being blocked after logging in through the normal system log in process. I spent too much time on this, since I don't like to leave my laptop alone when it's going through a virus scan or installation process...I feel it might need me.(LOL) Anyways, after that "program" update and expiration thing, my computer will not open any pages off the search engines or any other website that is not in my bookmark toolbar; if it does open a page, it leads me directly to some yellow pages and cell phone stuff.
My guess is that it's infected. But I find it so suspicious that it happened right after it's expiration. I don't know. But for now, I guess I'll keep using the private web browsing since I can at least browse the internet correctly without going somewhere wayyyyy off.
I'm trying the AVG anti-virus 30 day trial one on my other laptop, let's see how that one goes, and by the looks of it....I probably won't like it...it is slowing my computer a lot. lol I couldn't even safely eject my portable HD while it ran a virus name update. An update!!
LOLOL!! It's PC tuneup registered 47 registry errors and 196 junk files....and the majority are from AVG!!! silly. Still I'll wait and see. :)
*sigh*
If only I had gone through the computer and programming degree route....
