Thank you so much Mick for being so helpful to so many people....this has been driving me nuts for a week and i just decided to do a search on "symevnt.386" and found your post.....i just went to the store to get my money back on Nortons 2004 and they wont refund me so i'm down $90 Aussie dollars...i might try some other suggestions on here but i'm happy with AVG so really whats the point only to get my money's worth from Nortons and then i might still have problems.THANK YOU again...you'd be a handy friend to have :o)
