Just wondering if anyone has experienced problems with Norton installed on
their computer.

Only just about everyone who has made that mistake -- myself included!
I took Norton firewall and Norton AV off of all the boxes I manage --
which is eight. Norton fights like hell to keep its tentacles in
your system but I prevailed. Now I use AVG anti-virus and firewall
and its positively boring the lack of crashes and conflicts the
systems have now as opposed to when they were Norton-contaminated.
Speeds seem a little better as well.

I believe it has deleated important files used to run certain
programs on the computer. I have used Windows Movie Maker and am trying to
burn a video I made onto disc and it won't work for some reason. Anyone got
some suggestions? Also everytime I open My Pictures (folder from dl pics from
Digital camera) it creates a error message "Windows Explorer has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" Does
anyone know how to fix this too? Thanks!
