Question

Hello again, everyone!
May I have more help with my norton?
I know this is math, but most people come here so pleaaase don't hate me,

Answer 1

I got the free trial and it says I need to activate it, like this;

Answer 2

I did click on it, and it takes a while to load, and ends up saying this;

Answer 3

I clicked try again but it just does the same thing, idk what's wrong with it

Answer 4

That's weird o.o Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?

Answer 5

A few times, yes

Answer 6

What version of windows do you have?

Answer 7

To be honest, I never really checked..
How does one check?

Answer 8

Well that depends on the windows xD But for now I'll say click on start, click on control panel, then go to "system" and it will say windows edition at the top and under that it will say which windows you have.

Answer 9

system doesn't come up when i click on control panel

Answer 10

system and security?

Answer 11

You have windows 10 just by looking at this picture actually, thank you xD

Answer 12

lol is that a good thing?

Answer 13

Ok, I found something that not having a set default browser can cause this issue. Here's the webpage:

https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v113839121_EndUserProfile_en_us

Answer 14

I'm sorry, but how do I set a default browser? I use Google Chrome

Answer 15

Push the arrow on the windows 10 section on the webpage I just sent you. It has directions on there :)

Answer 16

omg thank you so much

Answer 17

No problem. I just hope it will fix it, haha

Answer 18

Me too, my bytes go down one by one every minute in my storage so I really need to check if I have a virus or not

Answer 19

Ya know, something that happens because of junk files and temporary files. Luckily, norton happens to do file clean up xD Optimizing the disk also helps. Even though I'm not saying it couldn't be a virus as it could be. However, I have had a little probably will a lot of space being used up xD

Answer 20

lol I deleted almost e v e r y t h i n g from my laptop. And I only have about 500 MBs left.

Answer 21

out of 28gb

Answer 22

Yup, I've done the same thing xD I had like a 100 GB harddrive and it just got so full even though I deleted nearly everything.

Answer 23

28GB? You should get a bigger harddrive :o You get 1 TB harddrives for pretty cheap now.

Answer 24

this is a pretty cheap laptop but it still works fine, it's just low on storage. I usually just use it for school.

Answer 25

Oh ok xD I just mean a harddrive though. Not a whole laptop xD I got my 1 TB harddrive for like $80 at Fry's Electronics.

Answer 26

How much is it normally?

Answer 27

Well it depends, but generally probably around $80 to like $130?

Answer 28

Obviously you can get a lot higher xD But for a cheap one anyway.

Answer 29

Here's one for cheaper than $80 actually~

Answer 30

i don't really have that kind of money, tbh i'm only 14.

Answer 31

Ah, I see. Well you could try asking your parents to get you one for your birthday or Christmas or something? If that sounds like too much to even them you could try asking for a smaller one xD Like 500 GB or something.

Answer 32

i probably will.

Answer 33

You can tell them that the harddrive is too small. Windows takes a lot of space and your harddrive is just too small to contain it xD By the way, another thing you can try is updating windows. Sometimes windows will do a update clean up if you do ^^

Answer 34

I'm soooo sorry to bother you, but do you know what SONAR Advanced Protection is? I need to have it if I want to scan my laptop.

Answer 35

SONAR Advanced Protection is the thing that detects unknown security risks. Like if an application is randomly gaining access to your computer, Notron will make sure it's not a threat.

Answer 36

what does this mean?

Answer 37

That's a Norton error.

Answer 40

Answer 56

(:

Answer 57

23,400 items scanned. So far. XD

Answer 58

Yeah, my Norton scans like, 4 million items I think each time xD

Answer 59

XD

Answer 60

Right? XD I'm like always working on projects and stuff so I have tons of stuff haha.

Answer 61

same here

Answer 62

One of the reason I like Norton since I download stuff a lot. Definitely creates a higher chance of viruses.

Answer 63

Yeah, my dad loves norton tbh
that's why I got it

Answer 64

Yeah, Norton hasn't always been this good though. My dad had it when it like first came out and it was horrible. We had McAfee for awhile until our internet provider changed to Norton.

Answer 65

Scary part is though some viruses are able to get around Norton. That's why I create restores points though. Saved me for the last virsus Norton couldn't get off.

Answer 66

Is there any program better than norton?

Answer 67

Kind of a subjective subject really. Honestly I've seen Norton and McAfee around the most so I'd say their the leading ones. I haven't tried any others myself xD

Answer 68

XD
That's fine

Answer 69

But everyone has different experiences with them, so everyone has different opinions XD I got attacked by the fake firefox update Dx

Answer 70

;-;
nuu

Answer 71

Yup, I thought it was just an update, so I downloaded it and it put massive viruses on my laptop x.x And norton got all off, but one. A trojan that kept returning after norton removed it. So I restored my laptop and it was fine after that xD

Answer 72

lol that's good

Answer 73

yup xD I have like super security on my firefox now haha xD Private browsing and all that.

Answer 74

nice.

Answer 75

It might want to close this question, by the way ^^ We can still reply to it even if it's closed.

Answer 76

*you might*

Answer 77

i forgot, sorry

Answer 78

That's alright xD Just so people don't randomly try to answer it, haha xD

Answer 79

Luckily I was having a hard time on a math question and came on here to get mine answered or I might have not of seen your question xD
