Some of the methods say to go to add/remove and untinstall everything marked Norton, Symantec, and LiveUpdate. I do wish to keep Norton Ghost and I think that uses LiveUpdate. Should I remove AntiVirus but keep LiveUpdate or uninstall all of it including Ghost and reinstall that?

(uninstalls ALL Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer). For Dell computers, see Dell Solution Network: Knowledge Base Article. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?" Microsoft MVP - Windows Security 2007-2008
