Before getting caught in the case, let’s understand what adware is and how it affects your computer system. In short and simple terms, ‘adware’ is advertising software, which is considered a legitimate option for consumers who do not want to pay for the software. Therefore, when you use that particular software, the advertisement will be displayed as a pop-up on your computer screen. However, it becomes very dangerous when it starts tracking your activities, which you do while surfing the net and selling your personal information to other sources. And then, this adware turns into ‘spyware’, which is harmful and risky, as it leads to a variety of threats, such as identity theft, phishing scams, etc., thus, removing it without further distortion. should be done. dawning conundrum.
Now, it has been explicitly asked why sometimes Norton Internet Security cannot remove the threats of adware? The most common answer to this may be that Norton Antivirus has become ineffective due to established technological instability, or that it may have become outdated or expired. But saying that, instead of uninstalling Norton Antivirus, you have to update it and run it as usual, if it lists the threats of adware in the summary, keep their names below. Later, follow the steps given below:
Step 1 Click on the name of each threat to open a small box that has the complete path to each offending file. Then close Norton Antivirus.
Step 2 Click Start> Run.
Type ‘cmd’ in the Step 3 text field and click on OK. A DOS window will pop up.
Step 4 Type ‘cd \’ and press the Enter key. This will change the directory in the root of your C: drive: C:>.
Step 5 The path for the first of the objectionable files after the type ‘CD’ (for example. CD WINDOWS \ Downloaded Program Files’ – note the space after ‘CD’) and hit ‘Return / Enter’.
Step 6 Once in the directory, type ‘dir’. You will see the ‘directory’ of all files in the folder. Make sure the offending file is listed there.
Step 7 Type ‘del’ after the name of the objectionable file (eg. ‘Del bridge.inf’) to ‘delete’ the file.
Step 8 Type it again to list the directory and then assure yourself that the objectionable file is gone.
Repeat the step 9 process from step 8 until all the files are gone, if you have more than one file and the rest are in the same directory.
Repeat step 10 to step 5 if you have more than one file and the remains are not in the same directory.
Step 11 Type EXIT and hit Return / Enter to close the DOS window when all your files are gone.

Whatever your reason may be to contact Norton Antivirus and learn how to talk with your sales department or customer service representative, consider doing a little research online for alternative anti-spyware programs. While I still consider Norton Antivirus to be a very respected and reliable service, dozens of free PC security software options exist that may be over or over what you are currently using.
