RJARRRPCGP Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) When I was working on someone else's PC, when I clicked on the Norton AntiVirus 2007 (or probably not far off) tray item, Windows XP BSOD'ed and rebooted! When I checked the SaveDump entry in the event log, found out it was STOP:0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, which I saw occur before because of buggy software. I never gotten a crash when doing other things. It appears to be Norton's fault, because the crash occurred when I tried to unload the real-time protection by right clicking. But I was preparing to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on that PC. I made another partition, a FAT32 partition to back up the pictures on, so I can reformat the system partition.

Jakebo Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Norton has been getting bad of late, but hopefully they start to make some improvements. As of right now Trend Micro seems to be establishing a good repuation. NOD32 also is a great antivirus product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Windows XP crashed with STOP: 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA when I tried to disable the scanning, because Windows XP was slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erfahren Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Norton is quite good in one way....If you're a computer novice and use Norton products; you end up learning a lot about computers. Seriously though, usually their support pages just entail uninstalling and reinstalling to increasing degrees. I finally used my WinXP CD and took the 'Format and Install' option.
