I used Norton products, Virus, Systemworks with GoBack and their Internet Security package that included a firewall. I don't remember the specifics but there actually was a conflict with Systemworks and my W2000 of some sort and I had to turn off the utility portion and only used GoBack. When it came time to update or resubscribe, I chose to update. I could not uninstall the program. They have since recognized the problem and have a clean-up program for those who cannot accomplish a complete uninstall. It screwed my computer up so bad I finally had to hire it rebuilt. I ditched Norton entirely and changed from W2000 Pro to XP Pro. I used the GoBack many times because I know only enough to be dangerous and I needed it. Hated to get rid of it but XP is just as effective. That and cooling my exploration and experimentation. Good Luck. I now have a firewall called F-Secure provided by my cable provider at no cost which includes all the others virus control, anti-spam, etc. It seems to work pretty good. I haven't had any problems. Good Luck and the folks here are especially helpful and knowledgible if you overlook remarks to change to mac and other silly stuff. My thanks to them for help in the past.

I agree. The folks here are wonderful.

Yeah, I just went through the work around downloadable stuff from Norton's site to uninstall it. What a tedious task with a system that hangs for minutes at a time after every or near every little action.

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
