Migration from Norton to Kasperski

[Ahmad Mahran]

Since installing Kasperski antivirus 2010 my computer is acting strangely.
My Windows securit alert is red, Kasperski is not working going in cricles
with the its configuration wizard which prompts me to restart the computer,
and this problem is still going on.
Now a new thing has emerged, I am getting th efollowing error
" Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed
A problem caused the application to stop working correctly.
Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
How can I resolve this issue?
Regards,
Ahmad

Kaspersky is much better than Norton. Norton when you remove it via
Programs and Features does not do a clean uninstall. Download all
installers to your machine locally and then unplug your network cable or
turn off your internet connection.

Uninstall Kaspersky first. Reboot as prompted. Then run this tool to
make sure all of Norton is off of your machine and that there is nothing
left to interfere with Kaspersky.

Reboot and then install Kaspersky again. Once you have Kaspersky
installed and stable, make sure you have at least the windows firewall
enabled, then reconnect to the internet and run virus definition
updates. See if this fixes your issue.

Anything recent from Norton uninstalls completely (minus some empty
folders).
Your opinion of Norton is either outdated, or skewed for some other
reason.
It ranks highly in all testing, often Number 1.

Norton offers an advanced removal tool that will clear out most left-
overs from the Windows. However, it should be noted that you must
first remove all Symantec / Norton / LiveUpdate software from Add /
Remove Programs first. Symantec's own on-line support agent
"scrapped" my Windows XP Pro setup (March 2009) by just running the
NRT tool.
