Hi everyone - first post to Techspot - great forums

need advise/help/prayers

Decided to get rid of Norton 2006 - did the uninstall - then had bits of Norton that would not go away - got their "uninstall everything" program - ran that system worked ok for about 30 mins then started to get error messages

Generic host process error message - then

DLL Loader shut down - then

System shutdown warning from NT/Authority in 30 secs

system reboots - sometimes it fails and I have to manually turn it off and power back up - sometimes it never boots othertimes does great for about 20minutes

have had 1,2 or all 3 since saturday also BSOD a couple of times when it reboots

have run:
full AV scan - nothing
adware - nothing
hitman - nothing
reg mechanic found a couple of odds and sods left by Norton

don't want to format and install but if I have to I will but what a pain ...

appreciate any suggestions and advice

did you replace norton with some other av/firewall software immediately after?
