Okay, I give up. Sure I have a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Information Technology, and currently earn a nice living as a senior DBA, but desktop computers and the quirks of Windows XP are apparently beyond me. Since the original problem Sunday night, where Norton declared it had found a virus, removed it and now needed an emergency computer reboot, then promptly failed to appear after reboot, I've spent innumerable hours trying to fix the problem.

Sigh. I've invested a lot of time in getting Norton to work, mainly because up until now it had been reliable, and I'd just paid for and installed the 2009 version in January, so it seemed foolish to waste that money by purchasing replacement antivirus and firewall software. But obviously I've reached that point, and I've also reached the point where I'm (nearly) willing to turn over the PC to a professional and let them deal with it.
