Problems with Norton Security Center/ AT&T Yahoo!?

Yesterday, I opened my AT%26T Yahoo! (I'll abbreviate to ATTY from now on) browser, and I was prompted to download new software from ATTY. The download totally revamped their online protection. It used to be ATTY antivirus and ATTY antispyware, but now it's all Norton.



The thing is, it's making me browser slow and my games lag. The ATTY one was much better. Should I just delete them and download free antivirus?

The "update" completely screwed me up and I contacted ATTY. (There isn't even any protection software at all available today--they disabled Norton downloads.)



ATT told me to go to Windows onecare and sign up for the free 90 day trial while ATT works out the problems.



EDIT with an update - I uninstalled the entire ATT/Yahoo protection suite, although it left some CA bits behind. Then I went to Live One and signed up for the free trial. After the installation, I am good to go, with no lingering Norton/CA problems.

spent 3 days with every tech level, 18 hours starting on the 15th. everything from not enough physical memory to reprogramming router. new software eats up physical memory. probably why computer runs slow (not just dsl). also problems updating virus definitions.
