puntoMX Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Disable your Anti Virus... even better, kick that Norton of your system. Use AVG for example...Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coucou Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 First try to disable norton antivirus and norton internet security, see if that helps..NIS (norton internet security) include norton antivirus.I think i disabled NIS and still got the error. In fact, that problem is not on my machine (i'm notusing NIS), it's on my son's laptop.I'll test that later and let you knowWhat i'm sure is, when i unistall NIS, NO MORE ERRORS.Regardscoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 There you go, use some other AV program and SP2 integrated Win Firewall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 That´s why you have to deinstall it and never use it again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Use Kaspersky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart of borg Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I agree with Jeremy, Punt NIS and get Kaspersky, AVG or Avast! Anti-virus - all three are way better than Norton anyway! We call Norton "Bloatware" here at work....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Use Kaspersky.I agree, Kaspersky AV 5.0 is one very good anti-virus program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^_^ Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 well, I've used "bloatware" Norton for years, I've never seen it cause a problem like this, and seriously doubt it is nortonseems like something went wrong in the office installation to me and it's trying to finish up the installation.You didn't delete the C:\MSOCache folder did you?

Jeremy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Norton requires too much HD space, takes up way too much resources and installed like 10 Services! Bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^_^ Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 well, this is off topic, but I've nary a virii got past nortonand I don't trust grisoft AVG, sure it's lighter, but doesn't seem to monitor as much stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsecharles Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Just in case-- xp's native firewall should be disabled to preclude any conflicts-- though i've heard of folks running three firewalls simultaneously without a hitch As well any real-time file protection, mail scanning, protected recycle bin.... Disable file indexing while you're at it-- system will run much faster.Disabling a firewall does not produce the same effect as uninstalling it-- in other words, it does/may not totally disable. Often it's possible(though not in your case, i presume) to keep the same firewall by uninstalling it, re-installing affected program / connection, adjusting settings, then re-installing offending firewall.That being said, i have free Norton but took all out-- thier own programs conflict even with each other-- they've become the most inept company...... and admitted issues in their products continue year after year....Some of their background-running apps / settings(those i can remember off-hand) which cause issues with different Win versions, Explorer, other programs:the Doctors, real-time file protection, email scanner, protected recycle bin, speeddisk......speakin'a palindrome-type names:diskkeeper too btw.....I'm happy with the last free version of Kerio(same engine as Tiny, a bit more updated). Trend Micro PC-cillin's bundled free on the Asus mobo driver cd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
