Thanks for info. But later if I keep getting ballons to enable Norton 2005 I
wonder if I could have stripped some keys using spybot or adaware which ive
scanned and quarrintined files. Just Curious are there high-low reg keys that
I could have been taken out durring my cookie fest? Im not sure how to find
and restore if I did froze a securite cookie. Maybe im having just a cookie
dream.
