Understood. What I meant by that was Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. Service Pack 2 comes with a Windows firewall.
Sorry for the confusion.

Does that do what Norton is supposed to do?
Get rid of the breaker points and install a Boyer Bransden ignition. Some people also recommend replacing the Amals with a 40mm single barrel Mikuni, although I never had any problems with the original setup. A mega-cycle high lift cam is a nice addition if you ever get into it far enough to split the cases.
I'm the wrong guy to ask on this. I still think computers are the work of the devil.
I don't have SP2, just Windows XP.
We have the same thing but mine hates me and loves to throw hurdles at me. You must be a nicer person than I am. :-)

I was all set to tell you to get a Triumph until I figured out you were complaining about a computer program.
How long does it take to run defrag on a 160GB 7200 RPM drive?
And here I was thinking this thread was something about the "Honeymooner's"....
I've had a couple of anti-spyware programs on here and had to delete them after only a day. This puter was running so slowly I couldn't make a post. It just took too long.
McAfee sucks, Dr. Solomon sucks and Trend-Micro also sucks. I've tried them all and AVG and its sort of (pay) accompanying personal firewall software are fabulous.
When that Symantec Client Security comes up, does it look like it's the old russian letters..SCCSR, something like that. Because if it does, I don't have it, it couldn't load it because of a corruption. That, and a couple of other things wouldn't load because of be corrupted. My Symantec is a headache as well. I don't understand any of this.
You've got other problems dude. And from your posts, your not capable of fixing them due to your experience level. I just love the fact that you think you can poke and prod around the system and click things, yet you don't even know what "a SP2 is". LMAO.
You're only course of action, mainly because you've probably hosed the system by your actions, is a complete reinstall of Windows. And all the evidence points to you and not Norton as the cause.
I sincerely hope no one takes your experience with Norton as evidence for their decision.
I have some iced tea and diet coke. I have about 20 Coors lite in the bottom of the icebox left over from New years party if that's what you like with pretzels. :-)
Of course, I also use Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster and Spy-Bot Search and Destroy. I used the free version of AVG for a year or so, but I decided to buy it and the separate personal firewall. I did that because the company has created two great products.
Skip it. It happens with Windows. Just use the setting in Systemworks. Also, uninstall it completly.
Exactly what I had in mind!!
No kidding... When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of "The Prince of Darkness"... Lucas!

Q: Why do the Brits drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators!
I have no idea! I'm not a computer geek - why are you asking me something like that ..??
