I suppose I'm lucky that I have at least
half a clue what to do with this mess; but I hate this ****.


An IT pro I'm not, but the reading I've done in the IE, OE, and Word
newsgroups on news.microsoft.com pretty much says that Norton and Windows
are something like vinegar and oil -- they don't mix well. As Windows
security tries to assert itself (in the face of a new
application/update/whatever,) Norton fights it, and vice versa. The MVPs
generally suggest using AVG instead of Norton. I know nada about the why,
but after heeding the advice to switch, my previously crash-friendly machine
has mellowed substantially. Plus, AVG has the distinct advantage of being
free.
