Help needed in stopping 'avast remediation' aka wsc_proxy I cannot remove the Avast stuffs from my laptop (windows 8) although i already downloaded the avastclear.exe when i open it woĪvast Driver Updater causing spontaneous cmd prompt pop-ups Solved! Avast Internet Security or Eset NOD32 Internet Security? Solved! Is avast good as an antivirus and/or anti malware for Apple Mac computers? Solved! Is Avast/antivirus really needed on Windows? Solved! I do not want Avast in my laptop, it keeps reinstalling, when using Revo uninstaller. Solved! Possible virus/ can’t get avast to work in safe mode **SOLVED** Avast is impossible to uninstall! **SOLVED** Solved! I can't get rid of the Avast popup trying to sell me upgrades Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is to anyone who has long ago written off Norton, at least give it a try because my impression was that the 2009 edition is unlike anything they produced before (in a good way) and that's worth mentioning. Honestly, the thing installed in under a minute, without the need for a restart! The computer did not slow down whatsoever, and it just looked slick! That said, I did go back to Avast only because there was not enough feedback on its engine, and mere speed/aesthetic improvements will not suck me back into the Norton universe. I was shocked by just how many of the typical Norton issues have actually been fixed by Symantec. I must say one thing about ijack's comment about Norton - I really did give norton a fair chance a few years back, but when I removed it and installed Avast in its place, a whole bunch of stuff were detected by Avast's boot-up scan, so I decided never to trust Norton or invest into any of their products - but given my work, I got a few free cd keys for Norton Internet Security 2009, but before I activated any, I installed the trial version.
