Why do software firewalls like Norton break the Internet?
MCSNet generally discourages the use of Norton products as well as software firewalls unless you are familiar with how to configure and repair them. Although the Norton products have improved in some areas over the last few years, there are free alternatives to Norton (Microsoft Security Essentials) that have proven to be much more trouble free and efficient to keep your computer running quickly (click here for details on what slows computers down the most). To uninstall Norton properly, you will have to download and run symnrt (Symantec Norton removal tool) available here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Norton_Removal_Tool_SymNRT_d4749.html For good alternatives please visit our recommendations page.
