How does one delete the usual irritants such as 30 day free trial of anti-virus software? Thanks in advance!

I was unable to delete these items until Norton anti-virus was installed. It stopped MOST of the pop-ups.

Search out and install a free program called "PC Decrapifier." It will scan your computer for software it recognizes as trial software and automatically select what it identifies. You SHOULD carefully review what it selects as it is not flawless and may select something you wish to keep. More commonly it will miss a few items you wish to add. Then you click continue and it will automatically remove those programs selected.

Mostly Add/Remove Programs will work, but I like to use CCleaner (aka Crap Cleaner). It is a good utility for disk health and full removal of programs.Hope that helps!

I know that it will replace the last Trend Micro program. You may have to go your program list and delete any other anti-virus.

I have removed almost all of it except web cam app and cd recovery creator... I bought a netbook and it greatly benefits from a less is more approach.... FYI if you uninstall anything you want back, just go to the toshiba website, for computers/support and when you type in your model you can download all of the bundled programs individually and also get updates etc...

Will this stick remove the Groovorio virus? And it is really any better than free programs like SuperAntiSpyware? If it can't remove the trojan viruses, like someone mentioned here, what else does it not help remove? I need help with the biggie things.

Hi I had to contact Customer Services, which, at best, is hit and miss and at worst is an appalling experience Beware of their tendancy to try and sell you "essential clearing of numerous viruses from your infected computer" I use Windows Defender, CCleaner and Malwarebytes, all free to download, I binned Mcafee Good luck

It comes with virus protection for a limited time. However, you could get free virus protection software from http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus.

you should use xp. xp is the best option because it is tried-and-true. also, this is the best option, because parallels (the other option) cost zillions, and don't work as well. just remember to get good antivirus software (even free ones are ok), because now you are using windows :P

Mine included Norton, but it was out of date and I had problems the first week. Made the mistake of clicking on the "Games", and ended up with a lot of junk, nothing terribly malicious, but annoying and slowed everything down. Dumped the Norton and installed Kaspersky (which I had had on my old computer) and MalewareBytes.

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

I am sorry but I really don't know, I am not technically at all. I had a virus on my computer and this removed it very quick and easy. I did call customer service before ordering it to see if it will help with my virus and they were very helpful. I would suggest calling customer service before ordering it.

Well I hope I could help but to be frank, my has never given me such problem since I bought it. It has lasted for some months now and it is still up and running as if it is still new. you need check to see if virus isn't in the system

I think there may have been 60 days of a Norton antivirus, but I uninstalled it right away (easy) and got AVG 9 Free.

It looks like the 2013 control panel with new features added. To be honest I turned most of the features off because it slowed my fast laptop (I7 3.2 ghz w/ 16 gbs ram 500 gb ssd win7)to a crawl. No viviruses yet. I have not found virus protection that did not slow down a pc. If you buy it tweak it till your comfortable with performance vs protection.

Mine came with a free 30 day trial of Microsoft Office, McAfee Antivirus Trial, and Windows 7 Home Premium. That's about it.

You can either go to Norton's website and use their computer virus removal tool which is free to do, or give Norton a call and they will assist you. I'm running Windows 7 so I don't know how Vista reacts to a download like this. But you should not have to buy anything.

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.

I really don't know but I think you would have to . Go to control panel and add and remove programs go in there and remove.
