| 53516 | 2002-06-09 23:41:00 | Since my free Nortons Anti virus software 6 month trial began notifying me that it was 1 month from expiry, I have had trouble booting my computer, clanking noises have been coming from the hard drive and errors pop up if I do manage to boot saying 'Cannot write to drive C' Doing a step by step boot and stopping Nortons from loading seems to fix this until I try using Outlook or dialing into the internet whereupon windows usually freezes(Windows ME - updates applied 550mhz 512 ram) I initially thought that my HDD had got sick of the winter until a friend rang me yesterday and said he had the same problem on his very new computer which (after questioning) started the day after he declined to pay for his new subscription to...Nortons anti virus. He also runs ME. I tried reinstalling Nortons but it made no difference, scan disk found errors, fixed them then the same thing happened each time I tried to boot either system I cannot get hold of or email anyone at Symantec. Can someone help with a cure... Or get hold of Symantec as i feel pretty sure that this is a bug Cheers |

It'll update automatically and scan everything including emails. Get it (or at least read about it) at http://www.grisoft.com Remember to delete everything related to Norton (Symantec) |
