| Hi, System restore does not work, I have reinstalled Norton countless
| times today and it will not work, Norton can't find the virus
definitions
| upon start up, I called Symantec they said that the registry info has been
| compromised.Scan disk finds no errors either.
| It seems everything else works just fine, But without a virus scanner
and
| it missed this one anyway................... I have tried to fix this
for
| 2 days now , I am pretty mad at this point, Damn people have nothing
better
| to do except screw with everybodys computers. I really have no Idea
what
| to do at this point ? Steven
