    yes your computer will go back to normal mode at restart. .just don't hit the F8 key
    did you follow the thread I posted step by step?

    norton is not a "sure thing"
    no anti-virus is
    some are better than others at catching things

    anyway if you did follow the posted thread
    and you still have problems let us know then
    refer to this one:
