Look for instructions at SARC[^]. While I don't appreciate their AV product's intrusive behavior, or its tendency to destroy systems when installed, I have to admit that Symantec is perhaps the single best resource for finding information about viruses and the methods required to remove them. The information is timely, detailed, and invaluable. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Roger, I recently installed VS 2003 after installing Norton Internet Security 2004 and indeed had fun and games getting it all to work properly! No doubt, I'll have further surprises down the line! At the moment I'm frightened to apply the MS security updates, especially as it took me about 5 days to move successfully my Win2k laptop from Win 2k SP2 and VS Beta 2 to VS 2003! I need a breather! I've not generally had problems with their pure AV products, e.g., up to Nortn Antivirus 2000. But features have moved on since then. Kevin

NAV 2000 was the last version that was fairly harmless, though previous versions certainly had their own problems. Most PCs that ship with NAV installed by the OEM seem to do alright until something goes wrong with it. Those I've tried to add the product to later have almost always been seriously damaged by it. A little searching at the Symantec support website should be enough to warn anyone away from the product, as it is filled with manual workarounds to get the product to work in various situations, but who would think to look there until a problem actually arises? Even so, the SARC website remains an outstanding contribution to the effort to wipe out viruses. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.
