Eye couldn't do IT support ferra livin.

It is a thankless task and very tiring.

 

[Shimsteriom]

Now that me daily drive has gone I suppose I'd best dust off the motorbike ready for when the Landy decides to break down.

I've not been following what's going on with your computer so can you summarize in a single sentence what the problem is?

Norton will not update.

 

[Shimsteriom]

Norton will not update.

I have to assume you've tried to uninstall it.

 

[Stanleysteamer]

I have to assume you've tried to uninstall it.

When it comes to me and computers, the only thing you can assume, is that I will only rarely, and then sometimes by accident, do the obvious thing!
I got onto the Norton website, thanks to @Hippo and got their scanner to do its thing. It told me i haven't a problem.
so tomorrow, at some point I will try to get Norton to chat to me.
and now i think about it, i may well have tried a reinstall.
but there is a bug that prevents some kind of "exe" thing from working.

What Operating System do you have?

 

[Stanleysteamer]

What Operating System do you have?

Windows 8
(Is that right?)

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Right I am off to bye byes!
sleep tite folks!

 

[Shimsteriom]

Windows 8
(Is that right?)

That's the one operating system which I have no experience of as I made sure I never installed it anywhere... ever..... at all.....

That said, I do believe it's similar in a small way to Windows 10 so do you have a start button at the bottom left hand side or do you just have a screen full of shite buttons?

 

[derwendolly]

I liked W7.

 

[Shimsteriom]

I liked W7.

It was the best OS that Microsoft ever released.

 

[Shimsteriom]

I think I'm going to have to start applying for IT jobs

So many companies that I've applied to so far must just be reading my CV and judging me from the words on the screen rather than actually meeting me.

It's very frustrating

Edit: I've even changed my CV so that it doesn't focus on my IT stuff but does include previous employment history.

Have yer fort about contacting norton fer help...

 

[Hippo]

Yer can make win 10 look like win 7 by installing a classic tools fing that gives yer a win 7 start menu. Then go int registry un disable that retarded corona virus search fing. Delete the bloat ware apps anorl un turn oft fings like tellin yer the temperature oatside because yer gottid a window to find oat fer yerself.
