all security funtions...including: Windows Update, turning off Window

Norton. lol

So sad...Norton was once top-notch, back in the DOS days.

Too true. I used to love Norton software and his books (I learned assembly
language from his book) before he sold out to Symantec. The Norton
anti-virus software takes over your computer and the activation **** drove me
crazy. I removed Norton anti-virus from my computer and bought Mcafee. I
bought Ghost 2003 instead of the newer version because 2003 is not activated.

Totally agree!

I was forced by a customer to put NAV2006 purchased online on. He
previously had NAV2004. Anyway, the install failed and nothing will run on
that computer from the GUI. The content of the exefile key in the registry
was changed and the only way I was able to fix that was to hook up his hard
drive as an external drive and retrieve the registry files (software,
system, default, sam, security) saved as snapshot from the System Volume
Infomation folder.
