Hi,

I would suggest uninstalling Norton Virus (no typo) and us System
Restore to set the system back to a period before Norton was
installed.

Here's an antivirus program that is much more stable and will not
cause the problems you are seeing.
Free Offer: eTrust EZ Armor Security Suite from Computer Associates.
If Service Pack is installed there is no need to install the firewall
protection.
