Norton scan does not complete. Where do I go for help?

This can be resolved by installing and scanning the computer using Norton 360.

Click here to download Norton 360 version 3.0

After downloading Norton 360 double click on the installation file and follow on screen instruction to install the file.
Click on skip if it ask for product key.
After installing Norton 360 open Norton 360 and click on live Update to download latest virus definition on to your computer. This will helps norton to find and heal the up to date virus.

After running live update perform complete system scan using Norton.

Note:

• Uninstall existing Antivirus on your computer before installing Norton 360.
• Your system performance will be little low for about 7 to 10 days after installing Norton, after this period it will become Normal.
• This is trial version which will provide you 30 days validity but even 1 year subscription does the same task. You can install whatever antivirus if you wish to switch over.

You have most likely acquired some malware that Norton did not catch (this is not just a problem with Norton, but with all virus products). Go to www.malwarebytes.org and download the latest free version. If your malware is particularly nasty, it will block this site in which case you'll have to download the software on another computer and put it on a USB drive or CD. Boot your computer into safe mode (hit F8 repeatedly upon turning on your computer until the boot menu comes up) and select Safe Mode with Networking. Once in safe mode, install and run the MalwareBytes program. Let it update (if it can) and run a full scan (will take some time). After it completes, have it remove all infected files. Now reboot the computer and let it start normally. Run a complete scan with Norton and it should start updating again with no problems.

Go to this page and download the Norton removal program for the AntiVirus program you have. It will completely remove the Norton Programs on your computer.

Hi there.

This is a common problem that I have found with installing Norton products. Did your system have a 90 day trial program? Even if you havre never used it, it will still be detected. Also, a normal deletion of Norton, either manually or via Add/Remove, does not completely remove Norton products.

Using this link:
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
download the Norton Removal Tool and follow the instructions. This will completely remove the Norton product from your system.

Restart your system and try again.

Tehn update it from internet .
Then scan boot time.

Open NIS and run LiveUpdate. Keep re-running LiveUpdate until it says that there are no more updates. Reboot the system if prompted to do so (you may want to reboot even if it doesn't say it is required, just to be sure everything got replaced properly). Open NIS again, select Tasks and run a Full System Scan. The error message should not appear again.

hi there,

although, not specified what you did but i presume 2 actions:

1. Running the program and cannot be completely loaded, it means that there's a program that block your Norton Internet Security 2008 to run, and that might be a Virus or Trojan. or someone is hacking in your pc (might be). and this will happen, if your Norton Internet Security 2008 is not updated and/or you install an internet plug ins in some of your visited website and through that plug ins the website administrator has a link in your pc to access, but not all.

solution: try to uninstall and fresh install your Norton Internet Security 2008 but before you do that make sure that you have a supported docs like cd key and response code from Norton if any, to successfully install your anti virus. and before you install, unplug your connection from internet (install offline, after installation, update it and scan your pc).

2. you install your Norton Internet Security 2008 and cannot be completely loaded, it means that Norton program is corrupted. please have a fresh copy in cd if any and install it.
