Downloaded an anti-virus program (Symantec Norton System Works 2005)
found I did not like it then uninstalled the program. Now each time
open any program I get a box titles "Run As" with the followin
message: "Which user account do you want to use" It has two radi
button choices, one is me (current user) and my log on name and th
other would be if I wanted to select another user. It also has a box t
select saying "protect my computer from unauthorized program activity"
I have to respond to this box before opening any program and I canno
find a way to stop it from appearing. How do I get rid if this? Pleas
help !! Thanks

Those incompetent bungling nincompoops at Norton/Symantec can't even
figure out how to make their cruddy products uninstall correctly. You
need a special program to do this.

We uninstalled Norton AV 2002, 2003, 2005 and NIS (several versions) on
Sunday from clients computers (they had expired subscriptions and didn't
want to pay to renew them) and didn't have any issues caused by the
uninstall of them. We enabled Windows XP SP2 Firewall and installed AVG
Personal for them.

I've had problems in the past also, but there also seem to be times when
it uninstalls properly.
