Symantec 'Virus'?????

It may be that your Dad downloaded a genuine Symantec antivirus product and they are notoriously difficult to remove from your system; so much so that they have produced a removal tool for their products.

You can download it here:

You should not install a new antivirus until your old one is completely removed so suggest that you download one of the good free ones like AVG, Avast or Avira then disconnect from the Internet. Use the removal tool (it would probably be a good idea to do this in safe mode), reboot, install the new antivirus, reconnect to the Internet and update your new antivirus product.

Norton is okay and fantastically solid. while issues are attainable loose the extreme area is often lacking in all likelihood so in case of avg. i won't say that's the perfect yet I place self assurance in symantec anti virus.

I just read an article on Yahoo News yesterday that there is a new Trojan virus that tries to uninstall your antivirus software. sounds like you got it... Check the symantec website for new viruses and update your scan profiles.

Im sorry but I have to disagree with the last answerer, Netcom3 is a scam.,According to my McAfee site advisor its a red site, so tread with caution, I have heard nothing but bad things about that product., get Spyware Doctor starter edition, its free from the link provided, and Spybot search and Destroy, and run them in safe mode., that should help with your problam., Good luck.,

well symantec's anti-virus is called Norton so if it doesn't say Norton then yeah its a virus. If a good anti-virus can't remove it then your going to have to do some reseach to find what to do to remove it that or you got to reformat

If you want to delete it go to Control Panel => Programs => ( u can go to Windows Defender to run a scan that will give you accurate results) or go to programs and features. there u can delet anything

all traces of the old anti-virus must be erased before a new one can be downloaded. is it vista?

If you EVER have a PC problem...go to www.geekstogo.com. It is a site made up of PC wiazards that do it doing their spare time. they are WONDERFUL! Helped me so much!

Im not sure but it doesnt sound good
