Hey! Look, I know this is probably just one more redundant thread in the endless sea of posts about Norton 32, but this actually matters!
I’ve got a real issue here. I'm running Norton, and it normally updates every few hours—sometimes even more frequent than that—but lately, it keeps flagging certain infected files. The catch? When it pops up with the options, the only thing it gives me is "LEAVE!" It used to always show a "delete" option, and honestly, I could always just wipe those files manually without any trouble. So why is Norton being so useless now? Why won't it just do its job?

Please! Someone help!

It’s a classic case. Honestly, no matter what you try, it keeps coming back—same old headache. I’ve personally tried wrestling with Norton and various other Antivirus tools, even attempting to block it via ZoneAlarm, but nothing sticks. If you want a real solution, here’s an option for you:

It’s probably best to just give radical advice—even if 👎

Like, 1. you should set the node to AUTOMATICALLY wipe things from your computer—and I mean for every single setting: AMON, DMON,... plus all scans: Local, Norton, File scan..., instead of having to manually tell it to delete everything every single time... then just run a full scan in Safe Mode and all five 👍

*2 rowdytinker95 - hey, feel free to format your machine every single time you get hit, but I honestly don't know what a computer is even good for if all you do is format it 🤣

I guess if the Antivirus and Firewall are configured properly, nothing should be able to get onto your system

if you get your Antivirus and Firewall dialed in right, nothing's gonna touch your system

Honestly, when that junk shows up on my screen, I just deal with it using Linux—I really don't have the patience to sit here explaining how to fix it all

I would strongly suggest you try to get your hands on Kaspersky and just wipe that piece of junk NOD32 off your computer entirely... I mean, goodness, truly incredible things pass right through that thing... it's just unbelievable... it's basically the only software people actually talk about, and everything else is just noise. I used to rely on it myself until maybe a year ago... it worked okay, I suppose... but quite a few nasty things were slipping right past its defenses without being caught at all... so, eventually, I took someone's advice and switched over to Kaspersky, and honestly, since that day, we've had this wonderful little "relationship" going for a full year now and I haven't dealt with a single issue! If you absolutely must find a cracked version, well, fine, go ahead... though I really wouldn't recommend it if I were you... a full year's license costs just a little bit more than $67 and you can find it for sale in plenty of places.

kaspersky🙏 🙏

So I’m running NOD 32, Norton, and ZoneAlarm, right? And honestly... nothing is flagging anything. Everything comes back clean. Of course, everything is totally up to date too. My PC has been running smooth as silk for like a year and a half now... ☕

What’s even the point? It just chokes the system. You’re probably gonna end up with a PC that runs about 50% slower than it should anyway.😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
