Update: I got in via safe mode, but I couldn’t uninstall Norton AntiVirus via the Add/Remove Applications control panel. Norton pops a dialog and tells you that you can’t uninstall it in safe mode–try it from normal mode. Great design choice there, guys. I’m in (right now) in normal mode. Launching anything takes minutes. But I’ve finally got the Norton AntiVirus uninstaller running. I’m going to try out AVG Free (for now, so there’ll be some anti-virus running to protect the box) and am then going to check out some of these other options. Thanks to everyone for all the help. And keep it coming if you have any other recommendations.
