| 252060 | 2004-07-13 15:40:00 | Hi, I have had numerous problems with Norton over recent times, I believe what you need to do in this case is you need to do a "cold boot" with ALL norton files removed entirely from your computer and then reinstall it. On the norton page it will tell you what you need to uninstall and which folders to delete and remove to preform this uninstall. Their help pages are pretty helpful, but i think you need to uninstall everything to do with norton, antivirus, security and start again (and there is more to it than just clicking the uninstall link in add/remove) thats why i suggest searching their help pages for the cold boot removal help... Hope that helps Cheers |

| 252061 | 2004-07-13 19:48:00 | you say you ran avg, did you reinstall it or was it already installed when you did your nortons install. If avg was installed while you were installing nortons this could be part of your problem. ITs not reccomended to run two virus checkers side by side as they somtimes clash as do running two firewalls. Although it can be done. |
