My operating system is windows xp.
I had a problem with Norton 2005 IS corrupting some files. It affected both
browsers, IE 6.0 and Netscape so that I could not get anywhere online. I'm not sure
if the downloading and video problems are related. Anyway, Norton told me
what to do to get back on the internet but said I had to upgrade to 2008. I
had just renewed my subscription last month to the tune of $53. and now they
wanted me to upgrade at an additional cost of $70.+ I decided against that
and want to go with Verizon IS, however now I can't get software downloads to
complete and if I want to watch a music video, say on you tube, the video
stops after one or two minutes. If I push the slider, sometimes it will
continue, sometimes not. I even tried to download the verizon pc checkup
tool, and it would not complete. I successfully downloaded a free download manager but that has only worked on some downloads. When IE is downloading, the speed starts
fast but continues to slow down one number at a time until it finally just stops. Now I have completely uninstalled Norton so that I can install Verizon, so my pc is
unprotected. And that's another thing, everytime I try to get to an order page from Verizon website, the page will not load. Could it be that Norton is somehow sabotaging the orders for Verizon internet security suite? (Just a thought.) The same thing happens when I use my antiquated backup laptop to access Verizon. Please help. Thanks in advance.
