I'm runnin a firewall now(norton), cause I had like 16 trojans before, so when I run my ab I disable it, and I use the program "End it All" to close down programs which are not needed. So the past 3days I've ran it and nothin, it doesn't attemp to grab a single thing instead it comes up with a error that says it had a problem refreshing the page(it comes up every once and awhile like right when it finds a item it won't grab it), do you think somethins wrong? or is my net just actin up and goin to slow.

Which Ab is that? You could directly ask the maker?

That's kinda funny, a security program is better cos it's LESS secure hrmmm... I don't even know what one my computer has. It seems to be working for the moment.

Norton = Computer killer

I have seen Norton rated one of the worst security programs EVER. It's so secure it ends up screwing you in your ass and messing up your computer. The first time I got it, it started blocking half my damn ports off, lagged my computer like crazy, and it's one of the hardest things to get off your computer.

So I wouldn't even use it in the first place, McAffe is like 10x better.

[I forgot where I read this, maybe it was on Codex], but I heard Norton 2006 crashed some computers.

But yeah, get rid of Norton, it restricts you from doing a lot of stuff on Neopets. I use to have it, it's no good.

Get Kaspersky AV it's teh pwnage!

I use symantec antivirus...I used to be a norton user which I regretted...

[Bains]

Yea so I'm gonna switch now I guess, I was wonderin is it hard to uninstall? I've heard that even if u uninstall it, its still leavin a bunch of programs running on your computer, true or false?

I still get this error "01:31:00 am: Error loading page http://www.neopets.c...hop&obj_type=2: (52, 'Empty reply from server'), retrying"

how come I get that? like for magic shop I have ab set at
timing 1-4
speed 1-2

what do I change so it'll grab stuff tht randomly restocks?

[Shivi]

I think that just means that neopets server timed out

[Bains]

I wouldn't worry about it. I've been getting the same error for weeks.

norton is PURE evil.. I hate it and I regret ever downloading it for free and using the crack for it.. it was the most wasted 10 min of my life!!

[Bora]

I thought you were forbidden to talk about off-site ABers anyway?

[Noitidart]

I have Norton but I don't use it get AVG its free and its better

Same here, I don't have Norton but I recommend AVG. I think AVG removed their free edition and made it trial. I think we can get you hooked up though unless this is considered not allowed, I would think it is because I got when it was free edition... lol

and on that note I shall attepmt to remove it

Step 1 - Delete Norton
Step 2 - Install McAfee
Step 3 - Run AB

This should fix your problem. Norton sucks.
