6/1     Does anyone know, if I get one license of Norton Utilities for Windows,
        can I use the one disc to fix problems on multiple workstations?  Or
        do I need to buy multiple licenses?   -sax
        \_ Looks like they stopped selling Norton Utilities separately a while
           ago and it only available in "suite" packages like Norton
           SystemWorks.  I believe the suite packages all require activation
           over the Internet.
           \_ eh, crap.  So I can't just buy one systemworks, and then boot
              from the cd to fix problems?
              \_ What problems are you trying to fix?  SW has caused me a lot
                 of shit in its own right.  -John
                 \_ there's one laptop in particular that, after reinstalling,
                    gives a blue screen every once in a while when I log in as
                    a different user.  Don't know if it's a bad install or
                    if there's some hardware beginning to fail.
                    I'm in charge of around 10 workstations, though, so it
                    would be nice to have some utilities program onhand to
                    resort to at times like this.  So I guess my real question
                    has more parts.
                    1. Do I really need to buy 10 licenses?
                    2. Is there something better I should be looking at?
                       thanks, by the way.  I appreciate the time you take to
                       help, even when I see that it's someone else on here
                       that you're helping.
                       \_ Sent you mail.  -John
                          \_ how do you know who he is? He didn't sign
                             \_ Well, then he'd either mention not getting a
                                mail that I mistakenly sent to sax, or he
                                wouldn't care enough, in which case, I am
                                not interested.  -John

7/9     I'm adding a larger and faster HD to my XP machine, and I want

6/3     I find myself having to reinstall WinXP sp2 every 1 to 1.5 year
        due to sluggishness and problems (yes I've tried every single
        trick that you can Google for). I'm at a point where I think I
        should just install a fresh image and save the image so that I
        can just restore it. What's a good FREE *Windows* based software
        that can save and restore an entire disk image? Thanks.

4/11    Is secure pop3 access working? Norton anti-spam does not work with

        \_ Norton's products are junk.  Why are you using anything from
           Norton?  They haven't made good software since Peter Norton left
           20+ years ago.

2/2     I use Thunderbird, with gigabytes worth of emails stored locally in
        unix mbox formats.  inevitably, some of these locally stored emails
        contains virus/worms.  They are relatively harmless, being encoded
        in b64 or what not, but I would like to get rid of them.  Is there
        any anti-virus software that actually parse the mbox file
        and remove the virus attachments, instead of dump my entire INBOX

6/18    Thanks to whoever recommended ClamWin as a windows virus checker.
        It's not always on guard (like Norton or whatever) but it's
        pretty good.  It's certainly thorough.  It found viruses in old mail
        backups from soda. First time I've ever had a virus checker find
        those. :P

6/10    If I buy "Norton Internet Security 2005", is it possible (easy) to
        install "Norton Antivirus 2005" ONLY, and not install any of the
        other applications included with "Norton Internet Security 2005"?
        \_ AFAIK, no.

4/8     To save power I set my laptop to shut down HD after 1 min of
        inactivity. However, my laptop always does something to the HD
        and I know this because it keeps clicking and clicking. I've turned
        off Norton Realtime Anti-Virus thing, Firefox/IE, MS Word, and
        pretty much everything I can think of, but it just never turns off.

        ADDENDUM: It would be nice to be able to compress the image on the
