Iknwo Symantec makes Norton, but THIS exact pop up has never happened before, and I have automatic updates AND notices turned off, so there is no reason this should happen. I went to Norton website and I downloaded their updated protocols and ran their update software from the site, which was filed under a FAQ sections specifically devoted to this exact error, the solution once ran told me the only fix was to buy a new version of Norton.
Everyone else, look I appreciate your responses I really do but telling me a program sucks without telling me WHY it sucks does not help me, I have had this same computer for 4 years with the same Norton and I have NEVER had this problem, so I doubt it is Norton also I JUST did a full system restore, last week, so it is as if my computer is brand new.
Anyways I found a solution on their website, I am trying that now will see if it works, if not, maybe I will consider getting a different program, but I am not sure I want to take that plunge, yet. thanks for the replies though seriously.
