Norton is evil! Uninstall it this instant, if you can. There are many free antivirus software programs available that in our opinion work better, besides being free. There are ways to tell Norton to ignore the folder you store YAEB and the YAEB Director in, adding exceptions to its database, but it is our opinion that Norton does a great job of slowing your computer down. Who wants a slow bot?

Recommendations:

Anti-Virus: AVG FREE EDITION

Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes

Firewall:  Zone Labs' Zone Alarm Free

Using all 3 of these free programs together provides your computer with the same level of security – and perhaps better – than Norton 360 or Norton Internet Security Suite.
