Guest Blithe Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Re: W2K (SP4) - It's a minor nuisance but I have tried to address the constant warning below by every Internet suggestion I've found, deleting all references to Symantec's 'ghost' in folders, files, and register. How to kill a ghost? There must be a way to stifle this particular service. Please advise.

I vaguely recall that Symantec offer a sledge-hammer facility on their site that removes most if not all Symantec applications.
Guest Blithe Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Re: How to end a service? (Event ID 7000) Thanks! Actually, I thought early on that I had followed your suggestion without having found the service to disable. I must be getting too old for this. Thanks again.
