We had many times trouble with antivirus and similiar products interfering
with the connections between pgadmin / psql and the Postrges Server.

I recommend to NOT remove the postgres account!!

Please try to configure Norton whatever to allow connections on Port 5432.
Or roll back that update.

Best wishes,

Harald

on different matter:
EuroPython 2006 is over. It was a GREAT conference. If you missed it, now
you can prepare budget for visiting EuroPython 2007.
