So, I've got Norton software protecting my computer, and I need a smart persons help. My dad will be home soon, and he'll be able to fix it no prob, but I want some advice now. Basically, my anti-virus subscription is up, and I don't want to renew it, so every time it asks me to, I click "remind me later" because "I don't want your fucking software updates" isn't an option. This screen will pop up every minute or so, saying "Security Center Alert!" and then a page that looks like the "my computer" page. Except it looks like the Windows 98 version, not vista, so it's not MY my computer page. It's trying to tell me there are like, 500 trogans on my computer. Basically, I think the norton software is trying to scare me into buying it's product, and I dont want it. Is this possible?

Drop Norton and buy Panda Security.

Yes thats Norton trying to scare you into buying it, there aren't 500 trojans on your computer....if there was i don't think it would be running or if it was then very very very slowly.

oh, dude i had the same exact problem, it's a virus called privacy center, it isint norton, you have to buy it for it to be erased and you should go se if you can uninstall it in add/unistall programs, trust me, if you had 500 trojans you'd know, it's the basic bully for money scam, the bully tells you to give him money so he won't hurt you. afterwards norton should quarantine it with the leftover protection stuff.

So because I trust you more than the rest of these kids, what should I do? Because the norton software that does regular scans and fixes tracking cookies and stuff still works, it's just the virus scanner that has expired. Should I uninstall it for now? I REALLY don't think I actually have viruses or trogans, because it's not showing me MY my computer page, it's like... a separate program. If I click on a couple of things that pop up, it takes me to an internet web page and asks me to install some sketch file, which I obviously wont do.... but should I just wait for my dad?
dude... AVG ANTI-VIRUS FREE, IT IS JUST AS GOOD AS NORTON, BUT IT IS FREE, AND IT WILL GET RID OF THIS, BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO GET THIS VIRUS!!

The thing popping up is actually like pointed above an entirely new virus trying to get on your machine. Don't click on it. And i'd suggest you either wait for your dad or download Avast or AVG (Free anti-virus programs) and use those instead of Norton. Its what i have, just tell your dad about them. But whatever you do don't click on the virus thingy and let it install.
