Windows 10: I cant activate norton.

I recently restored my pc because i was having issues. I had norton installed and working with no problem.When i tried to reinstall norton after the restoration and after i select the “Activate” option to log in. I get an error that says the app cant communicate to the servers and a “code” -6. Ive tried everything. I have reinstalled norton 40 times, i spent 3 hours with norton support and the only thing they did was uninstalling and installing and nothing happened. Idk what to do except from restore the pc again.

Norton Security not loading with Windows 10 - Why?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community forums!

I would recommend you follow the below given steps and check if it fixes the issue.

I would suggest you to restart the Norton services from the services list, and set the Norton service to automatic.

Follow these steps to run Norton services:

Method 1:

Follow these steps to run Norton services

a. Press Windows key + R

b. In the run windows, type services.msc

c. It will open services windows

d. select norton services from the list of services

e. double click on it

f. At the top of the window, Make sure the service status is started and startup type is
automatic.

g.Click apply and OK.

If this does not fix the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling Norton software and check if it helps.

If the above steps do not help , I would suggest you to contact Norton for further help.



Let us know the status.

 

Windows 10 and Norton

Hi Mike,

Sorry! The latest version of Norton Security 22.5.2 is compatible with Windows 10. I would suggest installing the latest version of Norton Security using the steps here:
www.norton.com/install. Sorry, I am not sure of the best way to restore the OS to the previous version. You can try the steps mentioned here: Redirecting.

Thanks!

alternatives for Norton Utilities and Norton Anti-Track

When I brought in a laptop for a screen repair, I also asked the tech about security. "Is Microsoft Defender good enough?" His reply was that Defender was weak on anti-malware. He recommends the Eset Security suite, because he doesn't like how Norton Security slows down a PC. - - - Updated - - -

But I need to keep in mind that my original post was about Norton Utilities and Anti-Track, not a replacement for Norton Security. In my previous post I forgot to mention that this tech also like MalwareBytes.
