please look on the symantec site for a special "removal" tool. you can start HERE:

if that isn't it...look further on their site. It's out there for sure.
Norton is well known for causing problems because IF not uninstalled completely; it will cause severe problems. This is because it "digs in" real deep in to windows.
That is (among others) THE reason why i stopped using their product.
happy with VBA32/NOD32 now...:-) and i NEVA EVA want to get back to Norton again!!

Is it possible that Avast was trying to connect to the Internet (cable) to look for an update before ZAPro got loaded and caused this hangup?
I've been using Avast for a couple of years, and never had this problem (with Win2K, RoadRunner cable, and NO Norton installed, ever).
Upon a (rare) reboot, Avast will want to look for an update immediately after the full desktop is up and running, but not before, then again about every four hours after that.
Hearing all the stories about how hard Norton is to get rid of, I'd be more inclined to think this had something to do with your problem. There is supposed to be an executable program to fully wipe it out. Don't have a link.
