     I will definitely check into those sites when I get the laptop online. Thank you all for your assistance. When I get the verdict I'll post the results.

    Thanks again

    Download it on working computer. Use USB stick to move it to the bad computer.

    Norton doesn't like system restore. In order to complete a system restore you have to turn off protection for Norton products. You don't have to turn off Norton - just the protection for Norton products.

    This page explains how to turn it off.

    I've used Norton for three years... never had that problem. Is it something I should look out for?

    I just learned, this is not a real reason, JJ asked his question.
    He's actually planning huge covert operation to remotely remove all Norton installations throughout the world.
    That's why, he has to know all possible locations of it  ;D  ;D  :P  :P

    For one DLoad and install Process Explorer and see what it eats for lunch...

    Then if you are really adventurous ...try uninstalling it.
