Iain Denby Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Since updating my Norton Antivirus Software recently, it now shows as 'Auto protect disabled'. When I try to enable it, I get a Script error. It does seem to be scanning emails however. XP2 home. Anyone with similar problems, or a solution?

Ernest Burden III Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Similar problem, no solution. Just TRY to find help on ther website, I dare you! My NAV stopped being able to do it's 'LiveUpdate' thing. It must not like my networking settings. Once, I came across the pane in NAV where you can change them, but didn't know what my system's setting were, so figured I'ld come back to it. I have never again been able to find that pane. I realize that makes me look like a complete idiot, but that's my story. What to do when your NAV will not 'auto update'? http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-N95.html I hate to admit that I must manually download virus detection updates and then run that, but I do.

Iain Denby Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 I kind of sorted it ...I think. Open up NAV Go to options/Auto Protect. Uncheck all 3 options, click OK. Re-start. It will appear disabled, but now it can be enabled manually by right clicking on it. It's worked just now, but will see how it does tomorrow. It was working fine for months/years until a recent update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I had a sim problem last night after the update. I got a popup that I needed to uninstall/reinstall Norton and was directed to a help page that told me to do the same. I shut down norton and started up again and the red error went away. Maybe I'm just lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dp Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 when i boot the net box up it can take up to 10 mins for norton to kick in and another gripe is it does not spot adware until it scans and i have to manual delete norton gotta love em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 i tried norton once years ago, and was extremely unhappy with how it tried to take control of my machine. now i actually use all free antivirus and security apps, and am confident they do equally as good of a job, and don't wreak havoc on my comuter.
