Will I need to remove the virus program currently installed? (Norton)

That would be your best bet. I always remove all of my I.S. & Virus systems when installing a COMPLETE all-in-one product such as Webroot (or, any other all-in-one that you may have previously installed), as it has a built-in anti-virus system. If you don't remove your previous system, you could run into future problems of both systems trying to work...and they could end up working against each other.

It does't come with pre-loaded anti virus software. You'll have to purchase and install one.

It comes with a trial version of Norton's Antivirus software. I think it was 60 or 90 days.

Not 100% sure, but it is a more advanced version. I suggest going on Norton's website where they have a video of what the differences is between the two. I may have even seen the video on Amazon. Their video convinced me to go up from the regular anti-virus to the security for more protection with internet buying and banking. Hope this helps.

Having the same problem. When first turned on it said there were several updates and it seems to have finally loaded those but haven't checked to see if any new ones. No trick, just used and it installed when I shut off computer after about 3rd use. Installed Avast anti-virus before I did anything.

No Norton included. But you can download another antivirus software yourself. Tell the truth, I found that this Dell running Windows 8 is much better than XP. Although Dell doesn't support any new drivers, 8 can use most of its devices. The only trouble is network adaptor, you should use WIFI instead of Ethernet card.

Norton has really gone down hill over the years and 360 consistently makes your computer slower. Ditch and come over to eset antivirus, it's light weight and will catch that adware virus you're suffering from.

I did download it after some trouble. The game was awful and Norton said it may have a virus. I deleted it from my computer. Just glad it was as cheap as it was.

In my experience, no. My machine was infected with the trojan.boweliks browser hijacker and Fixmestick did not remove it.

No idea. I would call the HP Support Line. (Also: ... Win 8 comes will all the Anti-Virus program you need: DEFENDER. Meaning: I deleted the annoying Norton package all together and so far it looks like DEFENDER is doing in the back-ground all the work.)

Yeah thats what I got. I downloaded the trial too. I didn't get the virus thank goodness, but when i installed it from the cd, it was completely different and watered down. If u get the cd, you have to install it then update from the trial version

I am really not sure about that because this is my first time using Norton. I usually go with AVG. Ithought the price was really good for this and that's why I purchased it. Hope this helps!

I did not find the software to have a virus. It installed fine and Norton 360 did not complain.

It came without an antivirus program but since you probably want to upgrade up from buggy XP why not switch to Ubuntu and eliminate the need for an antivirus program?

Yes, part of the package is automatic updates to the system. All virus software MUST update frequently, or the latest problems will not be addressed.

I also purchased the 3 users version but have so far only used it on one PC. I also had Norton prior to getting ESET, and it was totally useless - I had pop-ups all over the place. You can and should delete Norton from your system as I understand having two security systems on one PC would de-stablize it. ESET is great, I have not had any problem since installing it several months ago. They also have an excellent live person help line. If you have problem deleting Norton, they can probably walk you through the process.
