Hrm, I don't use Norton because I've never had any luck with it but I went and poked about on their support page and found this: Error: "The Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect driver could not be loaded . . . " when starting the computer.

Perhaps something there will help? If you do have to uninstall and it won't reinstall, I recommend AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) for Virus protection - there's a free version (although you may have to poke about for it) andit updates regularly. Sygate (http://www.sygate.com/) is a pretty good firewall too.

I am such a dunce - I didn't even think of looking at their site! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that - I don't have time to try their suggestions now, as I'm heading back to work, but fingers crossed for this evening.

To be honest, their support site is one of the more annoying ones but it's pretty good once you get into it. Plus, as a tech support person, I have all these tips and tricks for getting things out of the internets. :g:

I shall keep my fingers crossed.

It worked! All I had to do was run Live Update (I normally leave it to run by itself) and restart the computer. All safe again! *sighs with relief*

Hoorah! Glad I could help.

And this is completely random and all but are you going to the SG:A con in London in Feb? I can not wait for it. :g:

Looks like you helped three of us! Good going!

I didn't actually know there was an SGA con in London! But, no, not going. I'm just not a very fangirly kind of fangirl - I love writing fan fic, and oogling pics and the like, but I don't really want to meet the cast or crew, especially in that kind of setting.

Have fun though! I'll have to look out for posts about it.

Pegasus One - details on wolfevents.com. It should be pretty good but then I am a regular con attendee so I treat these occasions as the chance do costumes and see a bunch of friends with the guests as bonuses. I have even been known to sleep in the bar during the talks. :g:

I'll definately be posting about it about it though.
