So, he really does have a CMOS/MBR/NTFS (also known as a
CMOS/MBR/FAT) virus? And he really does have proof that
Norton messes around with the MBR and the CMOS?

I wasn't doubting that he has problems with Norton (who doesn't?),
he was "embellishing" to the point of obfuscating the real issue.

BTW, I would be interested in reading the ME groups treatise on this
evidently common Norton on ME problem. Is there a URL they point
people to or do they only type this info into the group?

Hi Jake.....

I do agree that perhaps he should list the problems in point form as
they happened. I am a bit lost myself and I certainly don't have your
knowledge.

As for Norton messing up WinME, Noel Paton or Mike Maltby usually sort
the person out by posts.....there is an MS KB link for the thousands of
zero byte files, as I recall. But unfortunately, as I do not use
Norton, I haven't experienced the myriad of problems that it causes.

Noel is in the UK, so should be around here in another 6 hours or so and
hopefully he can point you in the right direction. I don't think I ever
kept a *boilerplate* set of instructions for Norton problems.

Cheers.....Heather
