We had a real bad experience with GoBack.  My daughter was surfing the web 
and all of a sudden the computer went into a reboot with the GoBack program. 
I tried to turn it off by hitting the spave bar while it was scrolling, but 
it wouldn't turn off and doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL would force a GoBack reboot 
again.  We have a Dell and I called the tech support.  We spent over three 
hours trying to turn off, then find and remove GoBack - all to no avail. 
Finally, he said the only option left was to reformat the hard drive.  When 
that didn't work, Dell offered a brand new "out of the box" hard drive be 
delivered to me.  Needl;ess to say I lost everything.  According to the tech 
(but these are my interpretation of his words), Symantec's GoBack "hides" 
itself deep with a special "hidden" ?partition? in the hard drive that Dell 
reserves for it's boot program.  Once GoBack finds it and gets into it, 
abandon all hope ye who expect an XP reboot - it'll never happen.  That and 
several other crashing events have convinced me that Symantec is itself a 
kind of virus, the only cure for which is a procedure called a 
"Symantectomy".
