Well, everything is still running fine after 5/8 updates. I disabled
Norton
this time. Symantec answered me back and said that NIS files got
corrupted,
but didn¡¯t elaborate as to how they thought this happened. They also
said I
was not eligible for the free 2007 upgrade offer because I own NIS 2005.

A thought occurred to me after I read the below article:

If Norton has not previously gotten along with Windows Anti-spyware Beta,
then maybe the Malicious Software Removal Tool (downloaded the day after
the
4/11 updates) corrupted Norton¡¯s files. Just a thought since it¡¯s a
pretty
good bet that all these problems appear to be related to the updates. I
would imagine it would contain similar data and registry files??? I
actually
had this Beta installed at one point, but removed it due to articles I
read
about it being vulnerable to threats of hackers using it to obtain
personal
information off your computer (specifically banking info). The program
also
drove me nuts and I do remember having to uninstall and reinstall Norton
after I got rid of it.

Mike, did you ever fix this problem??? After all you were the first one
to
start this thread.

Also, I didn¡¯t post the article to start any heated debates. I just
found
it to be very interesting.
