Symantec tends to be a total drama queen, flagging things as threats when they aren't even viruses—just some "potentially suspicious" files that are actually harmless enough.

I can have two antivirus programs installed, but only one can be running at a time

So, I finally found a way to stop biting my nails... I’m actually feeling pretty good about it.
I just made a deal with myself: if I even think about putting my fingers near my teeth, I give myself a sharp slap right in the right cheek. After a little while, you definitely start feeling the sting.😁

I’m assuming you were downloading stuff off the web when you bundled a bunch of viruses right into that RAR file.

Haven't you heard? These shady sites pack free software with spyware just to make it look like they "found" a problem, tricking you into buying their protection.div>

McAfee offers a trial version, just like Norton does.

🙄 care to elaborate

If you're going to claim McAfee is the absolute winner, then actually back it up. Why McAfee specifically? Did you have some crazy experience where it saved your skin, or are you just talking?
Are we talking about its ability to kill threats? Memory footprint? How good the heuristics are? Or maybe how often it updates?

I really don't have the energy to dive into yet another "which antivirus is best" debate.

Those threads pop up constantly; honestly, three minutes on Google is plenty of time to get an answer.

But since I'm feeling repetitive, let me lay it out again:
1. McAfee is faster.
2. The user interface doesn't actually matter.
3. It updates frequently.
4. It picks up viruses that others miss—including stuff McAfee failed to catch.

In my book, McAfee is second only to Norton.

Symantec, hands down

😳 😳

The most common key for getting into BIOS is Dell, but you shouldn't just mash it because you might trigger a keyboard error. I figured you’d have already done what Daniel Cruz28 suggested. Basically, you just go into the BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY settings, set the CD/DVD drive to number one, and then switch the hard drive back to its original spot afterwards.

Is this disc a bootleg or the real deal?

I think they actually ripped the key right off the keyboard 😠

Maybe you could explain how exactly that works, just so everyone else can get up to speed?

I’ve been mulling this over for a bit.

1. Let's actually nominate someone from the crew to take over as hardware moderator.
2. I should probably just start a dedicated chat thread 🙏🙏🙏 instead of us all spamming the case modding section.

🙂 go ahead and laugh if you want

Chrome > Adblock Plus. It popped up on my screen once and then just vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.
