Norton again eh

Its amazing how many times Norton is involved with mis behaving PCs.
If I had a buck for the number of Norton Uninstalls / to bin ( not as
easy as you think ) I have done to fix PCs I would be living next door
to Bill G.

Norton obviously is not starting correctly and as it has its evil
tentacles into everything it is more than likely to be stopping ssl
connections to secure web pages.

You can either remove / re-install it or bin it and get a better
security solution. Get the "enhanced removal software" I have heard
tell of from Norton to uninstall it because the uninstaller does not
work and causes even more problems.

INstead of 'msconfig' try ' services.msc ' for your A/V startup

Thanks Jacob for your insight. I will also reinstall nortons because Jonah's
probably right, Norton has got its tentacles in everything again...

It seems like services.msc modifies some heavy windows files...which ones
should I check that affect my Internet ssl settings or norton's grasp on
them?

Thanks,
