Well today i was gonna open Paint to do something, but can't remember what I was gonna do now that i got it back on my computer. But anyway, i was gonna open paint and do something, and I was lookin in the start menu and all around for MS Paint. It disappeared! i am not sure where it went or how it was deleted. i typed in 'download MS Paint' in google and to download it again. A few sites popped up where i read that this has happened to other people too. they stated their MS Paint was deleted somehow and needed to download it again. Just wondering if this has happened to any of you guys, or how it happened. Just curious to what happened.

well i just checked my computer, and yes i still hav it

You probably have spyware on your computer, scan for viruses/spyware.

Try downloading a good PC Cleaner too.

Norton handles all my needs

ya, i use Norton too. i scanned but found nothing. i just downloaded another paint. i guess i can do some pc tuneup stuff.

Yup, norton is realllllly terrible when it comes to scanning for spyware/adware/viruses... try downloading the trial version of spyware doctor and scan, i'm sure it will find quite a few things for you. Also i suggest downloading AVG.

yea, im suppose to be getting rid of norton after the experation date. ill be using McAfee.

I absolutly hate norton. Has to be the worst av ever. (Well not ever, but you get the point). Go AVG! Or kaspersky. Norman and panda are two of the best though in my opinion. I just don't need that much protection...at least for computers. They pick up most root kits and everything. If you delete norton though you gotta make sure you even check the registry for anything that has the word symantec in it. It leaves a ton of crap behind after you delete it.

norton.... lol use ad aware 2007 pro edition, the things scan and pick up even the slightest sign of a error or a virus.

ya, i never catch anything with norton. i just went back to using it from something else, since the free subscription was up .

Norton isn't really all that bad, especially if you have your Firewall turned on, nothing couldn't really get through your PC.

O yea. Let me tell you. Norton doesn't catch half the stuff, maybe most viruses if even, but it would never catch a real human. Root kits for example. Very nice, Norton doesn't catch ANY what so ever. I think it's just because of it's hype is why it's so popular. It's usable. but I don't like it at all, it's crazy on resources.

Had the same problem on my old computer, your going to need a copy of winxp to fix it.

Nortons customer support is horrible too, last time I tried to call to get a renewal code, the guy was a foreigner and was
talking all slow and could barely hear him at all.

Sheesh I could've gotten the job done myself within under 10 minutes.
