I've had an ongoing problem with Norton Security Suite. Now, their tech-support as another subject ... but this one is that it has a "feature" called "backup" that really only creates encrypted copies of the files at which you point it, which, if they were important, you'd normally copy to another location anyway, but which doesn't back up the important stuff, i.e. the system, registry, installed/registered applications and their files, etc. As a result, if something happens to your 'C' drive, you still have to reinstall the OS, the app's, etc, all of which can take many full-time days.
