view history if norton antivirus 2009 can't be started.

Hi all, is there a way to view the history or log file without starting norton?

 

I got infected once with a ipatch virus or something like that and norton removed "shell" key in my registry and after norton prompt me to restart i could see my desktop anymore.... I was lucky to have read the remove history before I reboot. and find a way to put back the "shell" key and it is ok now.
