Hi Nic,
Sounds like a failed update. I would boot into Safe Mode (after seeing
the BIOS screen, press F8 repeatedly until the menu appears), uninstall
Norton, and install a AV program like AVG (
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
) or Antivir (
http://www.free-av.com/ ). Both are free for
non-commercial use.
You could try reinstalling Norton again, but I think it's time to move on.
Report back,
