Download and run the above cleanup utility, reboot your computer.

Reinstall Norton Internet Security (version 2002 or 2003 only).

You shouldn't have to do a re-install of Windopws, but cleaning up Norton
AntiVirus, as described above, is probably what you need to do. Because of
the deep-down nature of such utility and AV applications, they must be
closely tied to the operating system, and unravelling these strings can be a
problem when you change operating systems on some systems.
