    MyWebSearch & Dealply are minor PUP/Adware - Nothing too malicious or damaging from a system perspective.

    Running two AV's together however....

    I still got a BSOD when trying to boot the XP setup disk (the partition manager in that install hasn't failed me yet) which can't be down to the two AVs. It also doesn't explain why no system changes (even the attempt you helped me through to remove norton) don't stay after a reboot; nor does it explain my difficulty reinstalling/repartitioning.
    I'm at a complete loss.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.
