I've had no problems with Vista either. Sure it was a bit flakey in the early days but then, so was XP.

When you buy a PC with an OS pre-installed, it will typically have a bunch of other crap pre-installed too and this is also replicated on the recovery CD. This plethora of mire includes but is not limited to any Norton products.

The best way to get rid of it, is to install from a proper Vista CD and use the licence key on that came with your PC. On desktops its on the side, on laptops its normally on the bottom.

I got £30 off my laptop because I didn't want them to give it to me with Norton 360 on.
