This computer got the worm now the Norton anti-virus program "system works" will not update,
We tried to un-install and re-install, but still it comes up with a update error, we noticed after we reinstalled it did not ask for the Product key - password, suggesting that the program did not do a complete un-install,
I thought that Reg cleaner found all the programs installed on your computer so you could get rid of that last trace, but I was wrong, can anybody suggest a good free-ware program so we could start all over again fresh thanks.

240372 2004-05-30 05:14:00 if you goto the norton site you can download the update file and install it as an .exe this bypasses the 'live update' function..... it's called 'intelligent update' drcspy (146)
