computer fraud....help!

i wouldnt say it was libellous, norton has a terrible track record as an antivirus. hence all the forum posts sayings its no good. when i tried norton years ago it took the time to inform me my computer was at risk after it had been totally infested with viruses. so i think macmans comments are totally justified.

as for your own post thats sounds like a poor attempt at trolling or baiting somone to try and get them banned, justify that...

i have had natwest ring me out of the blue a few times and ask for my details ,they do not like it when i ask them to proof who they are before they get my details

you have got them you tell me and i will tell you if your right
i cannot with out the details
you rang me,so give me them details or i am not speeking to you
i cannot do that it's security
i have been scammed/conned in the passed and i did not ring you and you cannot prove who you are so good bye ,end off phone go's down
thats what i do ,where right or wrong ,if they ring me they have to prove who they are not me
some times they give me there name and extension and ask me to ring the branch back (they do not give me the branch phone number),that i do not mind and then we talk,as they have proved who they are

How is an opinion on a forum libellous?

Agree with above, Norton in general is considered to be a poor product in today's market place.

I'd suggest you research your subject more.

I don't need to justify it, it is my opinion and you or others may disregard it or not as you wish.
I might equally ask you to justify that it is not one of the worst products on the market. It's resource hungry, has a relatively poor virus database, and Symantec's renewal pricing policy is a cynical rip-off. Allegedly.

imho

poorbird73 Did you call your bank to ask if this is true ? Sounds dodgy to me as i am sure Data protection means they cant tell you who has got cash out of your account.

Norton is as bad as the 2 other people said and you have to pay for it when there are free programs that are so much better

Can someone point me in the direction of these free programmes.
I have used Norton for two years with no trouble but I might as well have a free better one.
thanks

All on the FAQs on this forum.

Avira AntiVir is widely considered to be the best free anti-virus at the moment: http://www.free-av.com (Make sure you select the free one.)

Do not install more than one Anti-virus application on your system at once, they'll just conflict and cause havoc.

Avira is free, or if you (or another person in your household) uses Barclays Online Banking, you can get Kaspersky free of charge at present.
The latter is also available for around £20 if you can't get it free.

So do i have to uninstall Norton before installing Avira then.

and thanks both.

Jaffa.

Yes you have to uninstall Norton before installing Avira,

Use the norton removal tool after uninstalling Norton from your pc, then install Avira.

I must warn you though, Avira comes pre-installed with Adware...
