Norton Systems Work 2006

[Guest]

I tried to open Norton Systems Work 2006 this weekend to do some clean up and
run anti-virus, but when I click on it it opens and then shuts down. I ran
AdWare and Spybot and tried again and got the same results. I even tried to
uninstall but when I click on Remove it just asks me if I want to exit Norton
Systems Work 2006 - if I click "no" the same message just keeps reappearing
and if i click "yes" it exits me out of 2006?

I also tried the Symantec site and they have a link where you can check for
problems with what you are running on your pc, but when i try this it also
just shuts down.

Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks

This sounds like a virus. Do you have a way to run an AV program on the
drive without booting into Windows? for example do you have a bootable AV
CD?

This is a link to a small FREE program by McAfee Anti-virus named Stinger.
It will scan your system for 54 known viruses and trojans and repair them.
You don't need McAfee anti-virus installed on your computer... this is a
stand alone program. http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ or

Another possibility is to borrow a second computer with
anti-virus software on it, and put that HDD in it as a slave, and run the anti-virus software to
clean it up.
