Norton Internet Security does this. Costs the same as Norton AV and includes it.
has a user list, which you, as administrator, can have password protected so users cannot change the list. What we do is put on sites that we approve. Anything else has to be done on the laptop in view...
You can buy Internet Security every year anytime from Jan through April tax time, and get rebates. Just as cheap as NAV and includes it, as I said.
Norton vs. McAfee. Go with Norton. nm

Why do you pay for Norton when
you can get AVG for free and it constantly updates itself.....?
Norton v. AVG
Go with Norton. Do the research. It's worth every dime.
Norton
I have Windows XP, service pack 2. Norton works fantastic. It catches everything. I do remember having trouble with downloading at first. Just uninstall and try again. You'll be glad you did. Run Ad-Aware and Spybot every few days and you're good-to-go. 
Norton
There's a difference between the free version of Norton/AVG and the pay-for-it versions. I paid $50 for Norton 2005. With AVG or Norton, I believe you need to pay for it to get the protection you need. 
Norton
Even if you uninstall it, Norton "knows" you had it in your computer, and it won't re-start itself. When you go to hook up to the internet to do the updates, it won't work. In my experience, the only way to get Norton again for free is to reformat your hard drive. You kinda have to know what you are doing and it is a big pain in the neck. You have to have all your programs on disk to be re-installed, and all files backed up on disc... but it does work. I did it a couple of times and I saved about $100 in doing so, but I really had nothing on my computer to mess up, so I went for it. I would definitely go for the free programs you can find on the net first!!!
Norton
Norton Utilities has a program called WinDoctor that does the same thing and it's awesome.
Norton vs. McAfee..which best?sm
Just got a new laptop that came with McAfee..now they are offering me subscription for half price...$69.00...I've always used Norton before and wondering if there is any difference.
I just keep Norton I suppose and never checked into anything else.

Thanks, will do. About 3 nights ago my Norton caught
Did you notice the Feb 3 date? That would be this coming Friday. Wonder how our various transcription companies are going to fare? ugh. I hope they don't crash. 
My Norton or my Outlook Express? (sm)
For some reason, for the last 2 or 3 days, when I am sending an email, that little Norton box that pops up is taking a long time to appear, like maybe about 15 seconds or so. It used to be as soon as I hit "send." Is this a problem with my email or my Norton? and is it a big deal? Just wondering why the change. Thanks
My Norton subscription is about to expire.
I can't afford that $40 renewal fee right now. What can I do?
HP/Quicken/Norton outsource
I agree. My printer/fax machine died and had to get a new one. There was a piece in the way so that I could not get the ink in, so had to call Customer Service. Two hours later, with understanding only 1/3 of what he said, I finally got the information I needed. My computer crashed on me (not a good year), had to call HP and Norton, both of which use India for their Customer Service - finally went and bought a new computer as got no help. Couldn't get my Quicken loaded, so called the help desk, and guess what! He was not understanding my question/problem at all. It's like I cannot get into that part or I would not be asking for help! Finally, a friend of mine helped me and got into it so I could do a backup to restore my data. I am sick of this so-called "service", and sure hope American companies, hospitals in particular catch on soon before our whole world crashes down on us.
Obviously it is not fixed if Norton keeps detecing it...
mine keeps detecting it as well. It will stop for a couple of days and then start in again.
I would like to know what the "glitch" is exactly...
Norton antivirus program
If my Norton antivirus program expires, will it still work but just not allow me to get updates, or will it stop working altogether? I was hoping to wait until the weekend to install a new one.
It sounds like a setting in your Norton firewall.

Norton Internet Security has a parental control
which will give you a site list that you can add to, for example neopets.com or barbie.com. I know McAfee has a feature where you can set up windows of time where she can be on only say, between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. M-F. I think even Windows XP has parental control where you can download approved lists, etc. Keep in mind though that if you use a "screening" program, there's a lot of stuff that can get through, such as wet t-shirt parties, etc. Probably not a problem with your daughter but can be with boyz. And I just say no to IM.
Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!
Norton fried my old computer, totally screwed it up....this was 8 years ago though...hopefully its i

Does anyone have Norton Internet Security on their Windows XL PC and have any weird problems with it
at times.
You've got a point there. I haven't had a problem since I deleted Norton
and installed a different program.
Have to disable Norton Internet Sec & Del all Temp files every time, why???
I cannot get the links to stay but I know it has to be due to something in Norton because if I disable Norton Internet Security and then go to Tools, Internet Options, choose General tab, then Temporary Files, Delete Files, Delete all off line content, and hit okay, then I get them back, but they don't stay consistently. :(
Can anyone tell me what needs to be changed/added in Norton's Internet Security to keep the links/forums available in the blue/on the left side??? I have tried everything I can think of. I sure would appreciate your help.
TIA.
My Norton antivirus is showing a red X on my email and I have no idea what happened. How do I fix
that.
Norton Internet Security 2009 and Service Pack 2 or 3??
I am having a heck of a time! I have Windows XP and just purchased Norton Internet Security 2009 for my antivirus, as my previous version is just about to expire. Upon installing it it says I have to install Service Pack 2 or higher for it to work. I never installed SP2 because I read that many, many had problems with it. Should I go ahead and download SP3? Is there anything I need to do before installing it? I'm thinking of taking the computer to a professional and having them download SP3 and install it for me because it makes me really nervous! Anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?
Thanks!
I renew my subscription to Norton each year it is due by credit card through them on the internet.
If I change computers how do I get that back into the new computer as I dont have a disc or anything I just do it over the internet. I have the original disc that I purchase 2 years ago but have since upgraded over the internet as I said.
My Norton's just blocked a browser exploit with a high security risk...
just now when I entered the main board forum here on MTSTars. I would like to know what that is all about!
What virus program/internet security do you use - always used Norton, but a computer tech told me
nm
hyperlinks and popups
Hi: Go to www.worldstart.com, you have to register with a name and password, but they have a message board there and their techs will get back to you with ideas/solutions. Hope this helps.
Firefox for me.

Never mind, I used Firefox ...
instead of Internet Exploder and I worked fine.
Are you using Mozilla Firefox? if not, you probably should be.

Firefox with NoScript
I have just finished up my MT training. I was in the computer industry since 1995 but lost my last 2 jobs to overseas...so...I tried this.
Only to see, you have the same issues.
At any rate, MS Internet Explorer has many security flaws. You would be shocked to learn how easy it is to get a keylogger on to your system.
The safest way for you to be on the internet is to use Mozilla Firefox. You can download it here...
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
After that, you need to also get the addon called "No Script" for firefox. This stops website from running malicious scripts on your PC. You can get that here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
Once installed both programs will auto update when new updates are released. No Script updates frequently but I assure you that this is the only way to surf the Internet safely.
They also have alot of other cool addons you can look at and provide an email program as well.
If you are looking for anti-virus and anti-spyware that is FREE then use AVG.
http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
All of that is just basic stuff. You can move up to firewall and lots of other security tools but just having Firefox will really help.
I will advise that like everything else...there is a bit of a learning curve. Using No Script will lock everything down and require you to "Allow" pages you want to use. Also, as with all Microsoft operating systems...the more you add the slower the boot process and general operating.
Good Luck!
Firefox Crashed
Anyone know how to restore website/database after Firefox crashes ??
Firefox by Mozilla
I have used it for years. If you interface with your browser for your transcription needs, be sure it is compatible with your company.
Agree with you - love Firefox
I use Firefox, it didn't show there.

Use Firefox. Allows you to control that, but blocks lge amt! nm

Its Mozilla Firefox that's the problem tho'
I've made sure all language settings are in US/english. This is so bizaare. Where's giddy PC guru ???
If you use Mozilla Firefox, see inside.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476
You can list websites that tend to lure you away from working, and block them for various periods of time. This has been a great help to me.
Nope. I switched to Firefox months ago and LOVE it. nm

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
