Well on the topic ''end of norton and mcafee'' they told me to download Avast! and I did, now my computer is screwed up. I am on my dads computer right now. I tuned on my computer this morning and it froze to where I couldnt do ctrl alt delete and i couoldnty shut it off by the big button. So after an hour i unplugged it, plugged it in, restarted the computer and it is at the same thing again. And by the way, the first time it froze, it had a ''balloon'' at the bottom saying that Avast may be outdated and that i was at risk. it is Avast! 4.6 Please help me. It is froze again right now. I dont know if i should unplug it or not.
