I don't know.
After having additional serious problems including network connection instability, difficulty in displaying certain web pages, disfunction of the Download Accelarator Plus program that Norton Antivirus had identified as adware, the craziest of all: total disfunction of NIS Live Update and inability to repair it with the "modify" option( it worked the first time but not the second and "fatal" one), redownload it or even open the page that I was guided to in order to redownload it

and, having became suspicious that NIS had destroyed my network connectivity in several ways including the hotmail account problem, I uninstalled and littered it( it would anyway expire at the middle of July) and formated my laptop HD. I'm going to set up my system again and this time I'll go with AVG free. After the countless torturus hours I have gone through this week I don't even want to hear the words "Norton" or "Symantec" again; I just hope that now that I got rid of NIS I won't have any more problems( I cross my fingers for this...).
