Sigh, turns out Norton was still blocking programs... even after I disabled it. Well I turned it back on and its working... come to think of it a lot of programs haven't worked since I disabled it, I have a lot of things to go try out :)

I have found that the virus-prevention software can cause more annoyance than the viruses. For example, frequent boxes popping up asking you to send them money. A bit like spam, in a way.

Had one bloody one from nVidea, which was "supposed to" protect my machine better in case I played games online. It also had the effect, when on, of disabling network negotiations for allowing my two systems to talk to them over the router they are both connected to. Took me almost an hour to figure out what the @#$#@$ was going on. Finally turned it off, because I didn't feel like spending another hour trying to find out how to make it work right.

Would be OK, if they all worked the same and supported the same accessibility and management. The problem is that they don't all allow the same management, don't all block things the same way and let you turn those things on/off as easily (if at all in some cases), etc. Its really a fracking pain.
