rescue disks

Norton 2002 help says:

Note: Rescue Disks can be made for Windows 98 and Windows Me systems; they
are not needed for Windows NT, Window 2000, or Windows XP systems.

Do people here agree. No need to create rescue disks? Any explanation for
this that isn't too technical.

they are needed, sometimes... norton is telling you fibs because they
aren't needed all that often (usually booting into safe mode is
sufficient) and because they probably have no good solution to the ntfs
problem (the problem of how to boot from a known clean system disk and
still get read/write access to an ntfs partition)...

Not needed because you can boot from the CD and do a repair.

Take care,

How does that work when the definitions on the CD are out of date?

You backup your data on a regular basis. Then you have current definitions.
The emergency disk is just to get you into the operating system. The Windows
XP or 2000 CD does that. Therefore no emergency disk needed.

If the system is infected, the only kind of repair you are going to do
with an installation CD is a complete reformat of the drive and a clean
install or a re-image.

There is no need for a rescue disk for Win 9x/ME either.

I've had a look at the first url and I get a pop up window which
eventually freezes. When I shut it down (after waiting a while), the
text of the url appears with a lot of broken images.

I am using Win98Se and IE 6 SP1 (latest patches installed). Any idea
what the pop up window is trying to do?

There is no popup linked to our site.

Just checked the page and it loads fine. Are you sure you don't have some
browser hijacker on your system?
