Harry, I did the same in the fall of 2003 after I upgraded to NIS 2004. It just made my Dell Optiplex TOTALLY unusable and I was about to do a format/reinstall of Win XP but for reasons I don't recall right now, I first uninstalled NIS. It was like a new computer! I still had NIS 2003 installed on my wife's Win Me box and had been threatening to format/reinstall that one too, but once I removed NIS from it, same results.
Since I had dumped McAfee several years before, I went looking for a replacement AV/Firewall program and ended up, like you, with AVG7 (free) and Zone Alarm Firewall, also free, and have been running both on 6 machines for 2 years with no problems at all. I know many people still swear by McAfee and Symantec products, but I am in that growing group which swears AT them!

This is the first time I haven't had software with Peter Norton's name (if not his soul) running in years. I honestly can't believe how much better my system runs; boots faster, applications load and run faster, virtually no freeze-ups, etc. I switched to AVG-free... -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
