I guess I will skip it as it says optional and I don't have a Dell computer.

This is showing as optional. I am not sure if I need it or not? James.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to help me today. I have uninstalled Norton 360 using Revo. I have set up windows defender as my Antivirus and firewall. I am running Malwarebytes along side windows Defender. Goodbye Norton you useless garbage. 🥳

Thanks.

Which one is your Antivirus? Defender or Malwarebytes?

Another question for when I remove Norton 360 I have a paid version of Malwarebytes and it's configured to run in Windows security centre. Which means windows defender is off. Do I leave malwarebytes on and leave defender off? Or do I stop malwarebytes running in the securty centre and turn...

Just a quick question. Am I safe to use RevoUninstaller to remove Norton considering the hosts file is being modified every time the computer restarts? If I delete using Revo will Norton 360 be gone prior to rebooting? I know there will be leftover files and registry entries to be removed after...

I agree with you 100%. Increasingly when Norton can't fix something they just say too bad and leave it up to the user to find a workaround. I have about 3 bugs which I have had to apply workarounds to. The most annoying one I had to fix was disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP (IPV4) because there was...

The problem is the hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc has default Microsoft code in it. Plus whatever code the user may have written. As of 2 days ago when you restart your computer Norton adds its own code to that file. When you run a virus scan it flags that file as malware and if you...

I have posted the issue on their support forums 24 hours ago and no one from Norton has acknowledged this issue which I think is quite serious. If you read from here https://community.norton.com/t/norton-modify-hosts-file-and-says-it-s-malware/526131/11?u=mykola My final post on the matter is...

It's not in big bold letters but I think that covers the scripts. James.

I am confused is reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Secureboot /v AvailableUpdates /t REG_DWORD /d 0x200 /f powershell Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName "\Microsoft\Windows\PI\Secure-Boot-Update" The same as running Update_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -Revoke ? I’m not sure if I...

I will continue to look at this thread until Microsoft finally takes control of this whole process. Is it better to do reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Secureboot /v AvailableUpdates /t REG_DWORD /d 0x200 /f powershell Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName...

24 Hours after updating to June This is what I have. I know that running Update_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -Revoke -SkuSiPolicy will fix everything. Is there a way to automate this without running your script? I love your script. Is there some setting I have forgotten to enable for these things to be...

Thanks for testing this. I have my PC with the June update. I am now waiting 24 hours to see if MS updates SVN and SkuSiPolicy.
