Andy:
I don't know Vista, but why not initially just remove Norton from the start

Hi Carol.
I was actually thinking of doing an Alt F4 to stop Norton then uninstall it.
I'm really not sure exactly what to do as I don't want to mess up a brand
new computer. I think I'll ask on the list to se if anyone has done it
recently.
Best wishes.
Andy.
