Hi,

I loaded the Norton Antivirus 2004 onto my computer. Now
when for example i click on Word icon in desktop it tell
me "windows cannot find C:\program files\microsoft
office\office 10\winword.exe"

BUT...

This happens with every program i try & start up. The
same message appears eg with other software like iTunes.

What can i do?

Situation:
After deleting or quarantining a file that Norton AntiVirus has indicated as
infected with a Trojan or a worm, you cannot start any programs.

Which solution can be achieved by this registry patch, which is rather
more comprehensive and makes sure other aspects of he .exe file
association are correct - Make the following, after - - start and before
- - end into a file by cut/paste to NotePad. Make sure there is a blank
line at the end. Save as "Patch.reg" then right-click on this file and
take Merge to enter it into the registry.

- - start
