Re: Can Norton Internet Security make downloads slower in Vista

Discussion in 'Windows Security' started by PA Bear [MS MVP], Jul 30, 2009.

  1. [Crosspost to Vista Security]

    What "original 2003 CD" are you referring to (e.g., a CD that came with your
    WinXP computer; a NIS 2003 CD)?

    If the Vista computer came with a trial version of any Norton application
    installed, you will have to (1) uninstall it and (2) download & run the
    Norton Removal Tool before installing any other anti-virus application or
    security suite (including a Norton application).
