After uninstalling Norton 360 from an Acer laptop it started displaying a blue screen on windows XP startup with an NDIS.SYS error.
Neither System Restore or Norton Removal Tool would fix it.
The problem turned out to be the driver for the builtin Atheros wireless adapter. I managed to disable the adapter after starting up in Safe Mode (F8 on startup, then control panel, system, hardware tab, device manager) and it started up Ok.
Next, using another PC, I downloaded the latest driver, copied it over to the Acer on a memory stick, enabled the wireless adapter, updated the driver, and all was Ok again.
