Thank you!!!!!!!! That WAS annoying! I'm slowly but surely ridding my machine of all the Symantec remnants left over from uninstalling Systemworks 2001. I'm still getting some browser (IE 6 SP1) corruption and having to run fixie daily, but I'll find that little leftover piece of Norton crap yet!! JCM
