What "repair feature" is Symantec referring to?
To "repair" what?
I have Win XP and never have had this problem before.
Hi Jim
This is a fairly common problem caused by people moving the Norton Programs group on the start menu to somewhere else like a custom folder
called Utilities or Tools. Just do a google search for the string

Norton Antivirus 2006 does not support the repair feature

and you will find a few hits
