Norton Killed My Computer....

I gave Norton 2003 to somebody and they ran it too, it found viruses on their comp and deleted them as well. BUT, the same exact message popped up afterwords.

"Windows cannot find 'C:\_______' please make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click Search."

Now this appears not just on mine after running norton but on my friends too. Could it be blocking me from using Executable files or something? If so, why and how to I fix this.

I found a temporary way to get around it. I had to use the "Open As" Right click menu to select a file that had nothing to do with anything i was trying to open. Then find the program exe and open it.......I don't know how, but it works...
