    Hello guys. Its me. I recently have found out that my computer may not have long to live. I got a error on Norton antivirus and i cannot get the latest updates. And it tells me that the liveupdate has completed with a unknown error. It simply will not fix itself. Idk what to do. I am thinking of contacting them to see what they can do. But for now. I may not be on minecraft for a while. I need to save up for a new computer. And its gonna take a while. I really dont want to lose my friends. I dont want to lose sera, perc albinobat, and all my other friends. I am literally crying as I type this. I dont want to lose you all. But for now, id like to say....Goodbye.

    Thanks to: gabehalo1 Slambam1214 percussers2011 xMisfitCow albinobat DWG715 Magical sparklez, homieboy Pyromancermagic, lidia, ItsMira, the jH crew, Spicyman33, saul1337, and all my other friends who made the forums fun for me. :')

    Well John if this is really it, then this is goodbye. You and I have known ECG other for a long time and we've had many great times together. I hope your PC lasts until your birthday so we can all say goodbye to you. Anyways, hope this gets resolved and I'll hopefully see you later

    You could probably get a cheap used PC for like $150ish, but that would suck. Then again, Christmas is only 30 days away, your parents/grandparents/other family members may buy you one...

    I hope you know that your computer won't die from a virus protector not updating. Infact. My family nearly sued norton, as we got a Trojan Horse from them to promote upgrading. We thought it'd be wise to spend $<500 to clean it out instead of $>1000 for a case we will lose. We ditched norton for McAfee.

    Home-made computers have pros and cons.

    Cons: No warranty/Back-up. Once a part fails, you may be done for.

    Pros: Reliable. You know every notch, crack, and wire in your computer. This makes it relatively easy to fix.

    Nortan for me is reliable. I mean, my dad gets some of it free/off (idk EXACTLY) Because he went to college as a IT. :)

    What's an IT exactly? And how is Norton reliable to you?
    Well, that is true. But they may send me a backup disk along with the operating system installer when I build mine

    A IT is a guy that's really good with computers and electronics. My dad got Nortan and it doesn't fail on me. Also, If you build it by yourself then idk :I
