Microsoft is set to begin rolling out Windows 11 next week. For the most part, any programs you run on Windows 10 should run just fine on the new OS, although there will be exceptions. Antivirus and security solutions are not all certified yet and installing security software that hasn't been fully tested with the new operating system could prove disastrous.
Don't worry though, as antivirus testing service AV-Comparatives has done the hard work for you and today releases a list of "approved" security software.
Is yours on the list? To check for compatibility, AV-Comparatives installed each antivirus tool on a clean-base system with Windows 11 Preview Build AV-Comparatives attempted to copy malware samples from a network share to the Desktop folder of the Windows 11 system. If any of the malware samples were not detected by on-access protection during the copy process, they were executed.
Next, this procedure was repeated, but using malware samples on a connected USB flash drive rather than a network share. Text such as below. Should I delete these files? Thank you so much for your help, but obviously, cleaning up a computer is not my forte.
It's what I counted on Norton for. Would like to continue with the JJ's line of clearing out my computer of all that is Norton, then reinstalling.
I'm barely grasping the basics here, and to attack this on two front is simply above my capabilities. Before you go any further, please verify if and how you uninstalled Norton per your previous post here and post back to let us know as bjm was trying to figure out. Its important to know this first. After wards, you can simply delete the NRnR. After running the NRnR tool look back through windows explorer for the folders I listed in my previous post above and post back your progress.
Not trying to be difficult, but if you want to know the ins and outs of high end financial services, I'm your woman. My personal computer, not so much. Next try running a Full scan with Windows Defender. Once that done, if no threats are found, close it.
If it report it found threats, copy those and post them back here. I'd think Norton folders would not be locked, were Norton uninstalled. My remnant Norton folders were not locked with Norton uninstalled. Just saying. With Norton removed, you should now be able to manually delete any remaining folders that reference Norton or Symantec left on your PC from my post above including the Norton Installer folder.
The next thing you'll want to do is check Windows Task Scheduler and delete any left over tasks from Norton. To access the Windows task Scheduler, take a look at this youtube video. Look in the center pane for a task called Norton WSC and right click and select delete it as shown. If you see the task called Remediation listed, click on it and see if the center pane references Norton or Symantec. If so, deleting it as well. Otherwise, you're done and close the task scheduler.
Close out everything else and reboot your PC. All of the above and earlier above carefully checked and deleted re Norton and Symantec, including Remediation. One is labeled Norton Security. Checked Properties and all 5 files have 0 bytes, so I guess harmless?
Folder and files will not delete. Other is in Norton Installer. Contains files see attached. Folder and files will not allow me to delete. The only reasons I can think of right off is ether your user account does not have Administrator Rights or Norton has not been removed from your PC. Then click OK and then run the tool. Now see if those folders are gone. If not, start the windows Task Manager and click on the Process Tab. If you see a button or tick labeled "Show all Processes from all Users", check or click it.
Now look for a process called NortonSecurity. If this is the case, I'd suspect its because you're not logged in through an Administrative Account on your PC. FYI, was just following Reply instructions below: Allowed file types: txt pdf zip. Pictures are always worth a thousand words.
Have a family member ill. Let me get this sorted and, hopefully, will be back on this in a day or so. Back to top. Registriert: Danksagungen 0.
Norton Security Scan is awol. When Norton Security Scan is reloaded, indicates it has already be loaded. No, not in hidden icons. How do I know if Norton is really working? Two indicators do not match. Ich habe die gleiche Frage 0. No, I'm using wrong terminology then. But when I click on it, all I get is a red boxed message: "Bad image Here's what I continue to have: Norton Safe Search Norton Safe Web green box with white check, top right corner Three Norton messages on search page about phishing, etc.
OK lets try this, click the Start button, then "All Programs", scroll down to a folder called "Norton Security", click on that folder and then you should see one of the icons that says "Norton Security".

Confirm in your daily use browser that browsers built-in browser protection in on. Norton does not have a browser.
What browser still opens? What is your default browser? They can also be accessed via any browser, offering higher compatibility than other similar tools. Unfortunately, it does take a long time to set up. It was surprising that BullGuard removed the online scanning tool from their site. However, their free trial options are still remarkably quick and convenient to use. Not only did I have to go through a lengthy set-up process, I also had to create an account.
To only search the critical regions, I had to create a custom scan and choose them manually. Nevertheless, the results were promising. It found most of the malware. We chose the first option, and it completed the scan in less than one minute. I was able to quarantine the files, but I had to change my user privileges to be able to disinfect them.
Overall, the scanner was generally effective but unnecessarily complex in some areas. The Bitdefender Home Scanner was by far the most complex. Once I finally managed to find my way into the settings, it was easier to see how everything worked. I also tried out the adware removal tool but was disappointed that it only worked for two adware types. In summary, the Bitdefender Home Scanner can get the job done, but only with some effort and maybe a little inaccuracy. An online virus scanner can be used to identify threats quickly without committing to a paid service.
However, as we discovered, very few cloud-based scanners actually exist, apart from the SafetyDetectives Vulnerabilities Scanner.
In any case, an online scanner can never replace a full security suite. At best, online scanners provide vulnerability detection, a basic overview of the problem, and guidance on solving the underlying issue.
But they do not provide the ability to actually resolve the problem. If you want to ensure that your device and files are safe, we recommend installing a highly-rated, premium antivirus.
