I keep getting pop up every 30 seconds from my anti virus software thing symantec saying its out of date and needs to be renewed. However i dont have a 'product' number or something and its fucking annoying having this warning pop up every 30 seconds. Can anyone guide me to any free anti virus software i can download. Please! This is driving me mad. Ive tried disabling it but it still comes up! Help!

    You could do that, or you could just uninstall, then re-install.

    Try an uninstall in safe mode or try a system restore if your on XP.

    Try not using Norton Antivirus.

    No, seriously. It sucks.

    There are lots of alternatives that do a good job that aren't as memory / resource intensive.
