Reply to Desktop X turned off Nortons autoprotect and broke my computer in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

clwoods, are you saying that you un-installed Norton's without using the removal tool, just a un-install and you were able to get the free version of AVG? Did you have the Norton's firewall installed also? There is a component that they installed using Norton's System Works update called Common Client, I think it ties these two programs together, I'm not sure, but that is what I think it does. This turned out to be the one program that gave me the most

If I was confident enough about setting it up myself I would try it, but unfortunately I am not. I heard when you un-install Norton's not all of it un-installs and causes problems. Therefore I will probably go the cheapest route and just pay for the new definitions. Otherwise I would have to take it into a shop and have them take it out and put the newest one on. I haven't the slightest idea about what ports to block on the firewall anyway. DesktopX i

Citizen Absntmind, The script fixed mine and boy was I thankful for the wisdom of Wizop Corky O and yrag, I am self taught and wouldn't know how to reformat. It probably would have cost me a few hundred to get it fixed. I have the script in 5 different places, and on another drive. Soooo yes I did go back and try DesktopX, but it should come with a warning until the problem is fixed. But I couldn't leave well enough alone, I had to try a desktop t

Thanks again guys, what a day.... I will try again tomorrow. When OneButtonCheckup runs again next friday and comes up with registry errors that are the same should I tell it not to fix? Of the 5 errors in registry two were lines of code and the other three said desktopX. So I am almost positive it was desktop X. I can't understand why it would turn off the viru

I read that article when it found the virus, trojan whatever...I am no computer wiz, when they say malformed png file does that mean it was done on purpose or just a badly made png. I was hoping the latter.

Reply to Bloodhound.Exploit.24 Trojan or Virus Just discovered by Norton in Industry WinCustomize Forums

Developer yrag, The files were deleted by Norton's AV and I deleted the backup from the log. But I copied the description on each of the png.files. Some were in a folder I named WinCustomize that was in my Stardock\ObjectDock\folder, and some were on my F disk in another folder. I have scanned after that and got a clean scan. The only thing I don't understand is I have no file on my F disk named Stardock. I just use it for storage. Let me jus

I bought the subscription in December when you needed help with the servers, but I don't use the Web Browser because I like coming to the site instead. Won't I be able to do that anymore? I try to support WinCustomize by buying everything I can but I don't like the browser it cuts off much of my screen. Can't I just continue with my account cross referenced?

Reply to Microsoft to send out CD with all security updates Free! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I had already sent for mine but didn't know about the antivirus and firewall free trial CD, I think I will stick to Norton's AV and firewall for the foreseeable future. Sorry Microsoft still don't trust you there.

Reply to My Mother has passed. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My condolences also jarget, we just lost my Mother-In-Law last week. The Family stayed by her side night and day so she would not die alone. It took three days but we were there. My Mother died suddenly 7 months ago, so I know the profound loss you are feeling. I take refuge in the thought that I will see them again and hope you can also. They were both very much loved.

Thanks for the warning, I probably would of opened it being it was from Stardock, that is if Norton didn't catch it. This should be in the news section or a sticky.
