PC Tools Firewall Plus - Cancelled as of December 4th, 2013
« on: November 29, 2013, 01:05:55 AM »
This year, in March, my computer had.....a memory implosion (I never uninstalled steam games I didn't play), and the hardware specialist I was contacted with installed avast! Free antivirus, Norton 360, and PC Tools Firewall Plus. Recently, I googled it. Apparently its being cancelled. What do I do?

What do you mean with "memory implosion" ?
Never install/use two av's at the same time. (avast  + Norton 360)
Why a software firewall and not a hardware one?
What is cancelled?
What exact version of avast?
What os/service pack?

And most of all... What is the problem?

Not much of a specialist if he installed two resident AV programs on your computer.
That one move is enough to kill almost any computer.
Decide which AV you want to run and totally remove the other.
