Yes norton is one nasty son of *****.
I wish more people would understand just how neccessary it is to remove all traces of these programs before they go further. Hey Vik, maybe a pre scan of the computer by avast before av instals checking the entire computer for these parasites, then when the ok is clear then continue the instal. Theres no doubt in my mind that Norton, Aol, and so many more companies want you punsihed if you leave them..Its like oh well, my comp doesnt work with this new stuff, better go back and reinstal my old program...Its BS and a damn shame that people get duped into these corportate parasites..........
