I managed to partially fix the Norton problem.
I downloaded and installed a patch from them and got the scanner to run. I had the nimda.A virus. Ouch.
It had infected 56 files, so I quarantined and removed them.
However, auto-protect still returns the error that it can't find the definition files.

Did you solve your problem? If not, try upgrading your BIOS.

*edit - Yikes, I didn't think all these threads in this forum were that old. I'll go back to my hole now.

I feel for you. Don't hold your breath waiting for Nortons to reply back. I am by no means an expert but I would say that you still have the virus.

I got a virus once and took my computer to the shop, they supposedly wiped the HD clean. When I got it back and poked around it was still there. I finally just got a new computer cause that viurs shot mine to hello and back.

Format and do a clean install of windows xp, then try it, that what I would do if i were i your shoes.

But if you absolutly need a virus scanner, here is a great one: http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp

Ouch, what OS is this? Sounds like a headache. What a way to get (more) gray hair!
