i have used the norton tool before to try to get rid of all the remenants, and as soon as i booted back up my cpu would be at 100% and the fan would go nuts, the only way to stop it was to use system restore. as far as i know all of avg works fine, ive had no probs with it, i put that path name into the msn file transfer sanning field and it does scan and let things come through so that should be fine too i hope!! if i look in the event viewer, every day something called norton auto protect tries to load but cant find the path! obviously because i uninstalled the bugger!! not sure how to stop it from doing this though. it dosent seem to cause any problems, i only know its happening cause im always looking for errors in the event viewer!! on doing a search for symantec and norton, about 8 files were found. 2 of them cookies. i dont know if i should just try and delete them or just leave well alone as they dont seem to be causing any conflict. what do you think? im definately not using the norton removal tool as that seemed to cause HUGE problems!
