Then if it doesn't work properly - you can restore to the point before you started 'knackering' your system With Goback you are still venerable to any malware that wants to 'corrupt' the Goback archives, or - even smart stuff that adds itself to the goback 'restore' set For anybody with enough knowledge to imbed their stuff in the boot process putting it in the Goback recovery process is easy meat JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 5:05 PM Subject: Re: Dual Boot System Clarification > At 09:59 AM 1/1/2006, Helen Gordon typed: > >In my original Inquiry I failed to mention that the problem program that was > >to be installed was called GOBACK > > I didn't know which app you were talking about so I didn't chime in > earlier but had I known I would've told you not to mess with anything > by Symantec especially GoBack but hey that's JMHO & YMMV but probably > not.
