high cpu performance alert from norton.

wtf is that?
and wtf is "pc cleaner"?

Take Norton off your computer now.

Failing that....read this:

thanks nobster.
i DO happen to like norton so i shall be keeping it.
but i shall note that link for next time.
it must've been your frombar link.

hopefully not a problem now.

i suppose that there are other ways of keeping your pc tidy,
and i wish i knew/understood more about that pc cleaner.
but for the ignoramus like me,
whose pc skills barely stretch to switching the thing on,
it has to be norton imo.

Uninstall Norton and use AVG Free edition.

Or do as I do....have no protection and do a system restore if anything gets into your pc.
It's done me ok for 14 years on the internet.

always had avg on old laptop.
but there's just something very re-assuring about norton.

it's okay if you have pc know-how.
i don't.

so norton it shall be.

and when it all falls down,
i'm out.
