No they wont. anyway Norton 2002 Utilities couldn't. after removing 789
infected files from 2000 pro build 3 made system so unstable could not even
go into MS/Washington to reinstall upgraded cab files that were gone. Bye
bye 2000 pro. Format, reinstall 98, and run a xp upgrade pro #2 from retail
shelf. Now Norton seems to be working at catching those nasty bugs a lot
better. BUT system will lock up on Auto full Virus scan. But can manual scan
files, ect ok. That one has me puzzled and the people at Norton also.
