I was ready to kill myself. I still don't know what/how this thing got onto my machine but I have hardly used it for the last 4 months because it was so painful.
I tried to de-install Norton but it won't let me due to some "supervisor" thing....I'm really annoyed now....
Out of frustration I do a little google on it....you are about the 4th hit and first reasonable sounding one....
Wow....1000 thank-you's....an immediate and 100% improvement. I no longer hate my computer.
Regards
