This is actually the first time (ever) that I have had a problem with 
Norton or Counterspy interfering with an install, including those 
that are file-intensive.  I agree with what Mark said about the 
performance inhibition, especially when added to all the WinXP stuff 
that runs in the background.  On the other hand, I have always had 
bad times with McAfee products.

Glad to see there was o permanent damage after 3 hours in  Chuck E. 
Cheese's - has all of you hearing returned?
