When I try installing Norton Antivirus using a disk I
get an error message "installation missing file instopts.dat and
kicked out of the process.
I am running Windows Me. I tried uninstalling Norton antivirus and
Winfax Pro using Add/Delete programs unsuccessfully. I have deleted
all temp files. The computer is free of viruses and trojan horses as
of last night.  What other options do I have at this point?
