Purchased a new HP desktop (two laptops came with it) & a separate HP laptop in Dec'10. I believe all units came with a 3 month trial of Norton Security. At the end of trial, purchased Norton 360 with backup package to cover all. At renewal time I opted for Norton 1, later upgrading to Norton Internet Security with Online backup. Each time I had Norton support people help with process. Some time ago while in Windows Explorer, I see a file, N360_BACKUP, I check it, the size (gigs 25.x) was huge. Got Norton support & cleaned it out of all the laptops & (I thought) the desktop.
Well that only lasted so long. It never reappeared in the laptops, but It keeps reappearing in the desktop. I went through & individually recycled every file in it, emptying the bin after each one. Great, had an empty folder, dumped that, gone, or so I thought. three days later it's back !! Not as large as before, about 4gig smaller, but there nonetheless. Now that you've heard my sob story, throw me the lifeline that will vaporize this beast, please. I know 25gig on a 500gig drive is trivial, but it's crap I don't need.
Any & all help appreciated
