| 2 | Not spam, but a scam most likely. If you are using Windows 10, the built in virus protection is sufficient, no need for any others, Linux doesn't need one if you are using that, I can't speak for MacOS though. What operating system are you running please? tygertung - 2021-05-05 09:47:00 |

Do you have any Norton/Symantec products on the computer ? If not ignore it. And if you do, most Norton products now-a-days auto renew from your credit card anyway. And Norton is not a great program. If you have it uninstall it and the system will revert to Windows Defender, the inbuilt FREE antivirus program. nice_lady - 2021-05-05 10:30:00 |

| 6 | Had a look no Norton program. seat1 - 2021-05-05 11:01:00 |
| 7 | Then it's a scam and you can safely ignore it. Also in general anything that requires payment you would know if you owned that product and the email would quote you an account number and address you by your correct name.

| 8 | windows 10 antivirus was good, its not currently very impressive, in my opinion. 3rtd party free scanners (malwarebytes, kaspersky virus removal tool, etc) often find things on systems that windows defender thinks are fine. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-05-05 17:51:00 |
| 9 | Malwarebytes was and is an antispyware application and of course its great for finding stuff that antivirus scanners can miss. Best to have both ideally. Edited by nice_lady at 6:40 pm, Wed 5 May nice_lady - 2021-05-05 18:40:00 |
| 10 | If you do a fair bit of surfing the net SuperAntispyware free edition is another good one to have installed. Run it once a month it will remove sometimes hundreds of tracking cookies and will remove malware if present. I have windows defender, malwarebytes and superAntispyware on my laptop, each do jobs that the others don't do. muppet_slayer - 2021-05-05 21:54:00 |
| 11 | I've been getting the same messages, but only to my Yahoo email account, I suspect a Group I belong to has either had emails harvested, or another (or several) members with infected PC's acting as bots. Just delete, delete, and keep deleting, they will die off eventually. I haven't had a Norton product for many many years. cookee_nz - 2021-05-06 07:59:00 |

They run together. Not seen that problem before. And I see heaps of PC's a week, So i'd say there was something else wrong with those PC's in the article swivel - 2021-05-17 14:07:00 |
| 14 | Is it advisable to run Windows 8.1, or should one "upgrade" to Windows 10? tygertung - 2021-05-17 15:01:00 |
| 15 | Upgrade nice_lady - 2021-05-17 15:37:00 |
