Windows 10: Norton Double Header Free Trials: Norton Utilities and Norton Security

Try them free for 30 days. Norton Security ask an email and a password to send the product key validation. Also, you need the email and the password to complete the installation.

Norton Utilities won't ask anything. You'll be ask to reboot: Wait for Utilities to wake-up and follow the process. Forget the second pop-up error. Norton Utilities is a powerful engine that clean and optimize the hard drive. You'll be surprise to see the amount of pollution on your Hard Drive. Be my guess!

Up-to-date you should have these versions (08-15-2015):

22.5.0.120/NS NORTON™ - Antivirus-Software und Spyware-Entfernung

16.0.2.39/NU Norton Utilities - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com

Both of them work very good under 10240.

Does KB2009272 apply to Win 10

Why did you "reinstall" the Norton application on 23 July, roughly one (1) week after you upgraded to Win10?

Did you (a) uninstall Norton Internet Security AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton Removal Tool & reboot (c) BEFORE you installed Norton Internet Security again?

• Fact: Norton (and McAfee) applications are notorious for not uninstalling
  or upgrading cleanly. The "leftovers" may be your troublemaker here.
  
• Chances are the ASUS computer came with a Norton or a McAfee free-trial preinstalled. [Most HP computers come with a Norton free-trial preinstalled.]

 

Windows 10 Defender high CPU

Answer-by-number:

1. Was Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, Norton Security or Norton Security Suite [PICK ONE] installed before you upgraded to Win10?

2. Was your Norton subscription still current when you upgraded to Win10?

3. Has any other Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?

4. Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial [PICK ONE] come preinstalled on the computer
when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

• Fact: Norton (and McAfee) applications are notorious for not uninstalling (or upgrading) cleanly. The "leftovers" may be your troublemaker here.

I've not used norton for years is it any good?

 

Give it a try! You'll be pleasantly surprised. Me to I didn't use it for a while: Was on Linux for almost 5 years. Norton Utilities was a missing piece...

 

NS 22.5.0.120 is an old Beta version and has many problems. The Beta is closed so don't know if you can get a key. The latest released version is 22.5.2.15

Norton has gotten much better since the early days when it was considered a resource hog. It uses less resources & runs well on most systems.

 

Thank's for the advice Jim. The update Center is telling me that I'm up-to-date.

Working on it in the Norton forum...

Take care,

 

Was ain't that bad in the old days either. Norton Utilities surprise me on action after the other.

 

In deed the Beta is closed and we don't know for how long we will be activated. So, only Utilities free trial remain a good choice. I have to take a decision, will I pay for it or will I switch to AVG?
