Hi Whirls,
Nope no Norton on that machine, I try to stay as far from Norton as is possible, and yeah I know getting rid of it once its on there is near enough impossible!
The office pc I purchased recently comes with the bloody thing on it, however Office 07 (Trial) is working fine on there for now.
Its funny you spend a fortune on the software and yet if you want technical help...well good luck, unless you are willing to fork out £3 a minute for the pleasure of a phonecall with someone who tells you that its not their software, it must be something else...I hate computers!
Having re-read that I can see how it may come across as rather bitter, but I just don't understand how it could be fine one minute and then broken the next!
Of course as a helicopter pilot you must be used to that sort of thing!

(just kidding!)
Cheers!
Ant
