Windows Security vs Norton Security

[Guest]

New Vista computer. Does Windows work with Norton?

I paid for Norton and it works great. I also 'signed up' for
Windows Security but it tells me my computer is not protected.
Windows gives me the big red X from Windows firewall and Malware protection.

Window and Norton don't seem to work together. Grrr.
Should I get rid of Windows Security? If so, how in the world do I get rid
of it?

Thanks

Norton 360, Norton AV and NIS are all certified for Vista:

What do you mean by Windows Security, and where did you sign up for it?

Windows gives me the big red X from Windows firewall and Malware
protection.

It's not recommended to run two firewalls and/or two anti-virus programs at
the same time, they may conflict with each other and cause connection
problems, even chrashes.

Should I get rid of Windows Security? If so, how in the world do I get rid
of it?

Hopefully you can uninstall it in Control Panel > Programs, should you
decide to bin it.

Have you updated your Norton Antivirus Definitions? Have you also updated
the Antivirus utility itself?

I have similar issue with Windows security vs Kaspersky. I believe the
culprit is Vista.

Try 'exiting' Norton and re-starting. If the 'X' shield disappears, then
you have hit the same Vista bug as I.

(No comment about your choice of Norton.)
