Also, in the cases of having behemoths such as Norton, McAfee, AOL and some
others the problems seem to lie with these programs as compared to actually
having Windows problems. Even some BSOD (Blue Screens Of Death) can be
caused by driver problems in third party hardware such as a Creative sound
problem. These BSOD used to be more frequent with older pcs.
