Hi Andy

I think that you can undo a restore in Windows XP.

Hi Carol.

What a night.  I was up until 3am trying to sort everything out.  I managed
it eventually.  I was advised to use unclean to remove Norton as Add/Remove
programmes in Control Panel had no option to remove Norton.  However, when I
attempted this, I was only allowed to uninstall one of the two components.
After I did this however, I could not remove the other component or even
turn Norton off again.  I took Peter's advise and un-checked everything to
do with Norton within my msconfig.  Although I still have Norton installed,
it has been turned off and I'm back to using Sygate and AVG.  Perhaps if I
attempt to uninstall Norton now by using unclean, it will work, but for the
meantime, I'm just going to let it sit there.  Unfortunately, I also
restored my computer back 2 months last night so now have to reinstall a few
programmes.  Remind me in future Carol if I start talking about trying
Norton again eh?



Best wishes.
Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.
