Default Norton Confidential

What causes it to crash (esp. when I play Words With Friends) and why is it even important? I mean, it sounds important, but (computer) life seems to go on without it.

I had to look it up...
[Norton Confidential

Discontinued Product Description

Effective June 30, 2008, Symantec will no longer accept orders for the Norton Confidential.]
http://www.nortonadvisor.com/product...fidential.html

If that is/was your only security program it sounds like you need to find something new.

Thanks so much, JoMar!

Ditto...but it turns out its just a password manager\auto populate program that Norton tired to incorporate into its suite to molest even more of a users precious memory and resources.

If it were me I would uninstall it completely and go with one of the free ones that Jo*mar plugs frequently. Heck, most browsers have this as a built in feature now....

I support the theory that having NOTHING is still better then any Norton product.
