Had a major problem with norton firewall and XP updates, the firewall would
disable the update and lock out the user. Kept getting a msg that I needed
admin privileges to restart it and I was the admin. I uninstalled and
reinstalled and it kept locking up. The second problem occured when I tried
to upgrade, norton wouldnt uninstall. The upgrade couldnt, the add/remove
and the nav uninstaller couldnt. I had to manually take it out, with help
from nortons site, they have a detailed site for help on this. Seems Im not
the only one who had problems
