Norton 360 - help needed !

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Pc buffs amongst you, I need your help.

I've updated by Norton security to Norton 360, but now can't stay connected to my Wireless Internet for more than about 10 seconds, and then it doesn't seem to be able re-connect. I'm convinced it's due to the upgrade as I've not had the problem prior to this.

I still have an icon showing to Install Norton 360, so I'm wondering if it hasn't loaded properly, but when I click on the icon, it says that should I un-install it, I could lose my subscription.

Any ideas ???

Cheers
BB

Arrgh! Uninstall Norton quicksmart. It's a terrible RAM sapping piece of poo that slows down your PC to a snails pace...

Get AVG - totally free and updates every day and my PC is virus free.

I've never had any problems previously, and have just shelled out £80 !

Check your firewall settings.

Next year, don't waste your money. Norton is dreadful.

I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to have had an effect.

Cheers for the help though :)

The only way you are going to tell if Norton 360 is the culprit is to completely uninstall it...

Completely agree with MK on his views on Norton... £80 is daylight robbery...

Join the list of those that shelled out for Norton but learned the hard way. Desktop is now Kerio Personal Firewall - Laptop is Mcafee - Norton refunded my annual subscription after I wrote them a strong email. The difference in performance on my Millenium Edition desktop is almost as good as having a new computer (well I did do a full system reinstall at the same time as dumping Norton )

Upon further investigation last night, I'm not convinced that it is Norton that's to blame, but more likely Orange. Every time it loses the wireless connection, whenever I click on the Network Connections tab, my Orange network is not always there, but any other networks in the near vicinity are always there. So I'm guessing that the signal from my Orange box keeps dropping.

Trting to get Orange to sort it out though is a total pain in the **** !
