Anti Virus Problem! HELP!!

[Prometheus]

I uninstalled my norton 2002 to install PC-Cillin 2003 off kazaa. Only problem the key wouldnt let me register it so I cant update, so I reverted back to before I uninstalled norton but now its messed up and wont run and I dont have the cd. What should I do?

[Lobos]

get rid of kazaa and download a free av if you dont want to pay for one



if you dont have the cd to reinstall norton did it come with your os or your computer

Cant help you make a illegal copy of a program work here. But as lobos said there lots of free programs out there.
here are some links
www.grisoft.com
www.freeav.com
www.avast.com
if you have kazaa your probly loaded with spyware so get adaware and spybot
There is also kazaabegone at www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn (be sure to read the warning first becaus it has a bug in it.)

I think it came on the computer im not sure. If it did can I do something to put it back like it was?

[ghost2003]

Look at the CD's that came with your PC, maybe its there. But 2k2 is pretty old and your probly better off with one of the free ones.

Does Norton come with XP when you install it?

[ghost2003]

norton has nothing to do with XP. But sometimes companies like dell include it in their recovery disks.

What is the best anti-virus program to buy ?

[pawprint]

I have had excellent results with Panda anti-virus platinum 7.
It updates virus definitions automatically, and recently updated their software automatically as well.
cheers, ~pawprint~

personaly, I like NOD32, it uses almost no recourses, has lots of updates, a very good heuristic and is the only AV not to miss a in the wild virus in professional tests in the last 5 years. Panda is good but it gives you no control over whats happens if a virus is found(it deleted leaktest without even asking me). Kaspersky is also very good, they have updates every 3 hours.
