One of the things I remember from my tech support days was that one of the Norton utilities would get in the way and not allow files to be deleted
I'm pretty sure you're talking about the "Filesaver" component of Norton, which in theory was supposed to protect against lost data in the case of a
crash. In reality I never heard anything except abject grief and misery caused by it and most people I know removed it completely.
This problem with Norton is known on the Mac as well. They were using some kind of system level File Manager patch that tracked a file's busy status. IIRC, they weren't splicing themselves in and out of the patch chain correctly and couldn't detect with 100% accuracy when a file was closed. Say in the circumstance where an application has it's own patches (like some Finale plugins) or uses asynchronous file APIs.
