IIRC, you had an older oddball version of Norton (SystemWorks 3). Which tool did you use to remove it? Please post a link.

From: Unknown on 31 May 2010 10:32 FYI---I have NEVER had a virus. However, I Never click on unknown items or open unknown items. I use MSE only and have a clean running computer. I have an external backup HD but, so far never had to restore from it. I did have to use 'system restore' one time and it was successful.

That is an indication Norton was not completely uninstalled.
