We bought a new PC, it has Vista (which I hate), and came with Norton (the free trial). Well, the trial is almost up, and I've been trying to run the software, but it keeps telling me that Live Update needs to be reinstalled in order to run Norton. So I uninstalled it, went to the website and installed it again, and it said that there was a problem installing it. I'm thinking that Vista and Norton just don't get along. So anywho, I'm going to remove the whole thing from the PC and I want to know if there is any free legitimate virus protection out there and where to get it. Thanks!
No, what I've considered is having someone remove Vista and put XP on the machine. If I weren't so technologically challenged, I'd do it myself. Ugh
little behind on kernel versions aren't they. Saw nothing about virtualization. It looks good if you want the media and compiz/beryl, but I can accomplish the dame with fedora and it has a much wider developer base.
Jennifer, It should not be that hard and they usually have restore disks if you mess up too bad. Just backup your data. Chances are the hardware will work on XP, but given Microsoft making the hardware cripple the hardware I would not be surprised if it does not. You are not alone in your dislike of Vista. I told my Dad last week he has to find a new computer person because I have no desire to learn Vista.
You should check our Revisor. Can build a custom liveCd fairly easy just for that purpose. Now I see you were talking to Jennifer about that distro. I will throw out that I have a Fedora Live CD that she can try. All I did was stick it in the cd drive and it booted perfectly on about 50 different hardware setups and did all Internet type of things.
