what the shit happened to my computer??!?!?!?!??!
one minute everything is running smoothly...the next i can't open any of my executable files, or do anything. i downloaded this version of norton antivirus 2004, and installed it. afterwards nothing will work, and all my system files seem to be "not found" and such...so i can't uninstall it. i've done some online virus scans and they don't detect anything...i have no idea what's going on.
HELP ME! PLEASE!

that happened to me aswell. dl'd norton and my PC was ultra-shagged. Had to reformat. good luck but it looks like you'll have to do the same unless you do a system restore.

Sounds like your executable files have been sneakily associated with something other than .exe... not sure how you can put it right...

There are several viruses that when removed make it impossible to run executable files because they have messed up your registry.
Here is a google on the subject. The Norton pages on these viruses tell you how to rename regedit.exe to regedit.com to rename and run it and reset the default behaviour for opening executables. Read the instructions carefully!
Of course the motherfucking Norton antivirus program is too braindead to do this itself... fucking piece of shit, run nod32 if you want a decent antivirus scanner.

Let me get this right...you downloaded Norton Antivirus from Bittorrent? No offense but that was a bit stupid if you did.
If there are two things you should get legititmately for your computer it is an antivirus package and firewall.
I mean if you can't afford to buy an antivirus package why not just use AVG from grisoft, it is a decent package with free updates and Zonealarm firewall which is also free.
