I was having a problem with my Alienware 15x R2 laptop that I thought was a bad virus that I picked up while traveling. So I spent the day reformatting the hard drive, reinstalling the OS (Windows 10 pro 64bit) and all my software. As soon as I reinstalled installed Norton Security Deluxe, my machine stopped working just like it did before I reinstalled everything. So maybe it wasent a virus after all.
The laptop boots up, but the chrome browser will not work, I cannot uninstall any program, I cannot turn off the laptop through windows, among a host of many other issues. I was not positive that it was Norton that was causing the problem, so I reformatted the hard drive again, reinstalled the OS again, and installed just my security programs, 1, Super Antisypware Pro, 2, COMODO fire wall., and 3, Norton Security Deluxe. Everything worked fine with the first two programs, but as soon as I installed Norton Security Deluxe, my laptop got bricked again.
Norton is probably conflicting with COMODO or Superantispyware Pro. I closed down the COMODO and Superantispyware programs, but it did not help. Is there anyway to just install the Norton Antivirus portion of Norton Security? I never wanted Norton Security in the first place, but must have somehow accidentally bought 5 seats for it rather than Antivirus, which was what I really wanted.
Also, is there any way to get rid of Norton Security Deluxe without going through the whole OS reinstall again?
