good evening/bonjour/konichiwa etc..

my antivirus 2005 subscription has just run out so i installed 2006. all is well apart from that little annoying icon on the taskbar 'norton protection centre' which pops up telling me to allow windows updates and the like. i have managed to stop the alerts but the blighter remains on my system tray. i can move this to my taskbar but i cannot remove it. i have searched on google and i see many other people complaining about this but no solution. does anybody know how to get rid of the 'feature' or disable it fully?

thanks
