| | After full Norton 360 Scan, reboots and stops on a blank screen After running a full Norton 360 Scan it has found 2 risks and fixed them. Then it asks for rebooting the computer. After reboot it stops at a blank screen. If I press CTRL+ALT+DEL I can see Vista Menu and select "Task Manager". In the Task Manager's menu I can choose "Run" and type "explorer". Then it opens Vista's initial screen and I can start using normally. It seems everything goes well with the reboot, and just the screen is not displayed. I can use Vista normally after typing "explorer", and if I restart the computer, the problem happens over and over. |

| | Re: After full Norton 360 Scan, reboots and stops on a blank scree Did you set the options in Norton to send these bad files it finds to quarantine or did you set it to remove/delete. Check the quarantine folder if in there by any chance -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Here's something else to read... http://www.computerworld.com/comments/node/9030667 I'm currently running Norton Internet Security, which isn't too bad overall. It shipped on my system, so I'm giving it a shot. Kaspersky isn't too bad either. -- Ok, I admit it, I killed Barney!! http://www.lockergnome.com/darksentinel You know what to do with the munge |

As was Charter's Security Suite(F-Prot based). I didn't like the interface on the F-Prot however, and killed it. Again, I'll re-iterate what I always say. Use what works best for YOU. -- Ok, I admit it, I killed Barney!! http://www.lockergnome.com/darksentinel You know what to do with the munge |
