              Click on search.
              Type in control panel
              Open control panel
              Go to program and features.
              Can you see Nortons or McAffee in the list?
              If yes Right click on the program
              Click uninstall

                    I turn mine off most nights.
                    I only leave it on if I have web pages open I need to access.
                    I don’t know if this question belongs in the old thread or this thread, so I will ask it here.
                    Can you get the bank site now?

                        NP, i found it. One otheer thing. I cant feel any air coming from the back of the comp. Is that normal? On the old one i could feel the air coming out. Never mind, i feel it now.

                              With all the trouble connecting to the net last night will turning off the comp lose the internet?
