Robert,

The gist of Carey's post was to remove ZA version 5 - not Norton. ZA
has been having many problems reported with this newest release and the
consensus is to remove it and reinstall a 4.5 version. You need your
a/v and while Norton has had it's problems, in this case it isn't
Norton's fault.
