I have norton protection , i have done a full scan , but i still have adware on my laptop why ? how do i remov

Its true that Norton sucks. All that we can tell you is the general steps to remove the adware since you do not provide specific names of infections.

To remove your adware you need to:

Scan with a variety of virus scanners to find most infected files: list of free scanners http://pcultracare.com/free_online_virus...

After you identify, research your particular infections and you might find current step by step instructions or an automated fix.

It can take professionals hours to completely clean a system so you should be prepared for that since you will need to do so much research.

Backup your data as you may damage your windows beyond repair by mistake or by running unkown programs while trying to remove your adware.

Norton misses quite a few things. Try using the following to get rid of spyware:

Reboot your computer in safe mode and then run Norton AntiVirus. Good Luck !!!

Go to www.download.com and search for Spybot search and destroy . it is a free program and it is among the best for spyware and malware removal.

nortons for viruses not adware

norton sux

uninstall it immediately

does more harm than good

trust me

You might need to upgrade your version of Norton to something like Norton 360 that has protection from ALL types of malware (including adware).

You might also not have your current copy properly configured and/or up to date.

Check both and make the necessary adjustments and you will be fine. Don't listen to anyone giving you biased advice saying your program is not good... they are wrong and they are biased and giving you potentially malicious advice. :)

Good Luck

I have Norton Internet Security 2007 and it works very good. I had a lot of viruses and adware, spyware and alot of other stuff on my computer and it takes em of right away. But now the problem is that i have to upgrade to Norton Internet security 2008.
