How To Delete Adware Threats That Norton Antivirus Can’t
The most annoying thing that anyone encounters on their computer is ads. Ads can
creep users out, especially when the advertisement banner is related to something they
were looking for recently. Users' web history is accessed and used to furnish ads by
manifesting adware on your computer.
Unfortunately, like many antivirus applications, Norton antivirus is also helpless in
deleting adware from your computer. The adware files could be a severe threat to any
computer. Since they are not simple plugins and carry several other malicious programs,
the adware can also slow down your computer's performance.
Steps To Delete Adware
#1 Restart your computer into safe mode with networking support. It can be quickly
done by pressing the F8 key while restarting on most Windows machines.
#2 Open your browser and search for any suspicious extension or add-ons you don't
recognize downloading or add-ons that appear suspicious. In Chrome, users can find
them under Settings->Extensions. Remove any unwanted extension or add-on.
#3 Disable services to start automatically. Go to Task Manager->Startup or run the
"MSConfig" command to find services that aren't set up by you and appear to be
suspicious. Disable all such services.
#4 Run a complete scan using your antivirus application. If any harmful files and
objects are detected, which could be malware or adware, follow the next steps.
#5 Visit https://www.symantec.com/. This online security service contains a list of
every malware and adware. Search the name of the file you found on your antivirus scan
on the website.
#6 Follow the guide by Symantec to remove the particular adware.
#7 Restore your system. It is recommended to take backups frequently. If, after doing
the above steps, the adware persists, then a full system restoration to the last backup
might remove the adware.
Uninstalling Norton Antivirus From My Computer
#1 Open Control Panel, press Windows key+ R, and type control panel in the appeared
dialogue box.
#2 Click on Program->Uninstall a program.
#3 Search for Norton antivirus from the list of programs
#4 Right-click on Norton antivirus, and click Uninstall.
#5 Follow the instructions on the dialogue box that appears to uninstall the application.
There have been several instances where people have faced difficulties saying that
“Norton antivirus deleted my file.”. If the same thing has ever happened to you
and you are 100% sure that the downloaded file didn't contain any threat or virus, you
can recover it by following some simple instructions on the website.
If you face any difficulties, you can call its customer service number at
+91-0008001007601 for further help and guidance.
The internet is full of adware and malware which installs on your computer without
your knowledge and starts slowing down your computer and compromising your
privacy. It is imperative to take care of your computer's security and protect your
privacy and sensitive data.
