That's great info, Herr Loom... I'll archive this to let users know what
spyware programs work with Win Up. There are mow than a few that
interfere with the process. Killing Norton is a good thing ... removing
from one's OS is the best. Just spent a week corresponding with a user
who couldn't install any software/updates because NSW killed Restore and
stuffed the Inf folder with the OEM*.inf 0 bytes issue. AND we had
disabled everything . I'll get you off that Norton crap yet !!!
