I remember Norton having an addon that lets say I do a clean reinstall of Windows and set that starting point - and no matter what I install, once I restart all the newly addons are gone and the os stays in the original format.

I have also seen this on college computers no matter what I added once I restarted it would all go. what addon was this by Norton? Ir if there is another resource.

I want to set one up for a person who has no clue how to use a computer and keeps getting viruses.

i think that this might be what you are looking for. Microsoft Steady State This program allows you to control what the user has access to, what they can do, and also every restart erases all data they created on the pc

thanks but is there another one by norton? this person might have windows 7 and i dont think steady state is compatible with it – sarm Aug 31 '10 at 20:55

DeepFreeze is what I use to use and works great but there is also Windows SteadyState which seems to be going away if you want to look into that. Norton had GoBack which has been replaced with Norton Ghost. That should get you on the right track.
