Eisboch,
There is a good chance that "Norton" screen is actually a Trojan that
is sending you to a "Norton Phishing" site (and not a real Norton
site) so you will provide them with your credit card info. I had a
neighbor who picked up that virus and it was a bitch to get rid of.
You had to delete the start up line, manually delete the file it
referenced, and then reboot in safe mode to completely remove it.

Considering the known removal problems with Norton, Reggie's suggestion
borders on the insane.

Harry K. Krause,
Considering that the fact that you are such a brilliant IT professional,
I am surprised you are not familiar with the Trojan disguised as Norton
Antivirus. Here are articles discussing the Norton AntiVirus Trojan and
the instructions on how to remove the Trojan, and the importance of
deleting the files in Safe Mode and running the a real antivirus program
in both regular and safe mode.
