Norton Antivirus is Not Working or Not Opening

Norton antivirus is software like any other software. It saves us from many malware, spyware, viruses and malicious software access to your PC. It protects us with minimum impact on our PCs. It is considered as the Industry’s top name Computer security solution. You can buy this software from CD, DVD or any other media. As soon you downloaded your PC, you have to start installation process. In spite of so many features, we face many problems arise due to Norton antivirus like your Norton Antivirus is Not Working. Sometimes we encounter a problem that appears on taskbar and window task manager lists Norton as a running application. Although we have always option to get Norton Help but we can resolve it from our end. So When the icon is clicked on the task bar, it just looks like the top bar of a window. When you right clicked on the icon, it looks okay. You will get the list of tasks available (open Norton 360, Run quick scan, Run live update etc). If you moved the task manager window around your screen, a white box would be formed. It appears as Norton 360 is running, but you can’t see it. Our Norton 360 suite will not work or open due to the following reasons. I am going to discuss on its solution also.

1. Installation Issue

You also become failure while installing or reinstalling of this software. After installation, you still could not see the Norton 360 window to make thing worst. It appears as an “Activation Window” which you can’t see. You will not know if the installation is completed or not. You face same problem with rebooting.

The best method to overcome this issue is to install freshly installed operating system. Installation issues hogs to hardware resources.

2. Upgrade compatibility problem

Norton antivirus will not load automatically after upgrading your window operating system. You will tire due to ‘start-on’ and ‘shut-off’ of your problem. But still your Norton antivirus will not load. To know about “How to deactivate Norton “is not easy.

So, users prefer security software.
