[RESOLVED] New PC laptop how to turn off Norton??
New HP Pavillion laptop (windows 7 home ed) out of the box and fired up- followed all install instructions., but said NO to Norton and used Microsoft Essentials instead ., Of course we have the little icon o nthe task bar that loves to jump up and remind us to install .. Now or later always hit Later ..
So I go into msconfig and turn off Norton as well as Symantics but still have this nasty little avatar on the task bar.. I can right click turn off but it still shows up later..
How do we turn that off??
like is Norton and Microsoft that hand in hand companions???
I'm surprised Microsoft Essentials ( now up and fully operational) doesn't tell Norton to Buzz off...
