For those who stare at their screen too much -
Over a week with Windows 10 - some observations.in W8 you could disconnect your account and it was converted to the local one. Upgrade to W10 saved it for me, so perhaps this disconnection should be still available in W10. Just need to search it as they renamed and put in different places a lot of stuff from Control Panel. I won't tell that it is better than W8. There are some typos in my localized UI, some new stuff such as Calculator looks odd and not polished, I don't see any performance improvements and I wish they get back different active and inactive window title colors. The last one is the smallest, but most critical for me, as I every time have to search where is my active window border. My overall impression is that transition from W8 to W10 is similar to transition from Windows Server 2000 to Windows XP - hide everything what you can hide and make it simple for end-users. Perhaps should be better for kids and other people who are not familiar with computers

Windows 8 and Norton Antivirus just made me chucklehave you heard that Windows must die? Or what the hell happened to Internet Explorer on x64 machines? The world is not perfect. About "even preinstalled" - IMHO, it's the source of problem. I don't remember preinstalled things which bothered about updates or whether they have been properly installed. You've got something a bit old with a bit old antivirus and a bit old drivers and a bunch of trial apps which you never wanted, who knows how it supposed to work. I usually remove the most of preinstalled stuff first and then make it my way. And after that even Symantec works :)

Windows 8 and Norton Antivirus just made me chuckleI agree. I posted some issue on their forums. Looks like they don't have enough resources to test everything on different systems. Or they just go MS way - sell it first and then fix issues if you can. But do you know companies whose products are perfect in all things? I suppose any antivirus will have something of this kind

Windows 8 and Norton Antivirus just made me chuckle)) again, what is local admin in your understanding? Sounds like a person who only allows remote updates for viruses. I don't have any admins and I can remove it, while I understand that it might be complicated to remove from simple uninstaller as it includes drivers. Antivirus software must update virus definitions without any admins. If it doesn't do so, viruses won't ask you whether your admin allows them to update. So many people get salary for administration and don't understand what they really should do

Windows 8 and Norton Antivirus just made me chuckleno. It exactly does what it says - removes all Norton products from machine. Even if there is some broken installation. Don't take me wrong, I use Symantec as I got used to it. And if you get troubles with it and need clear installation, Removal tool gives you the clean machine without it. Tried it couple of times on my HP machine - works as said. I doubt that you can uninstall Norton antivirus from Control Panel at all
-
Windows 8 and Norton Antivirus just made me chuckleare you sure in the name of virus? If you are sure that it's not your colleague, tell him, that he rather use Norton removal tool next time. It's free and cleans up everything.

Unbelievablethey forgot that they got all the same with every breath. They might be more perfect vegetarians by wearing gas mask. But you should take it off to drink or eat something vegetarian..

I posted it a year ago and it was published on CP at the same time. Why again? Did you change CP time a year back? I removed duplicate post, so no worry. Just fix your hamsters to don't do it again

Question: Language BarrierI suppose native English-speakers here is a minority. So, what is rude? If you think that someone doesn't understand you, tell this, try to explain in more simple language, or just end the discussion. Exactly as anyone does so in local forums.
