How to make chrome work on machines with Symantec Antivirus

I couldnt make Google Chrome work on my office machine. Turns out, its due to Symantic installed on all office machines.
Little googleing and I found a solution here - http://tech.wowkhmer.com/post/2008/10/24/Fix-Google-Chrome-e28093-Ah-Snap!-Something-went-wrong-while-displaying-this-webpage.aspx
There are 2 solutions suggested; I would prefer using the 1st one - dont want to mess with the office machine anti-virus setup...
"
Right click on the Chrome’s shortcut and select property and add “--no-sandbox” without quotes to the end of Target.
"

Thanks to whoever took the trouble to find a solution!

How to improve Outlook 2007 response

I had been seeing slow responses in my Outlook for a while and when I googled I came across this post which talked about disabling add-ins - http://www.notesfromatooluser.com/2007/04/is_outlook_2007.html
I tried it and does look like its improved. I had actually installed Adobe Acrobat and that had added an Outlook addin. This was recently and I think that was the main culprit!
