One thing, though - Why blame the patch, when it's self-evidently Norton's
misuse of the Registry that causes the problem in your case?
since uninstalling NAV cured the problem - why did you reinstall it?
You now have a significantly less secure system!

Thanks, Huib!!!
That is VERY valuable information!!!
- now what I need you to tell me is the exact version number of Norton
that you're using (Help About should give it, IIRC)

Hallo Noel,
In other parts of this forum i saw that KB891711 was causing a lot of
problems.
I wanted to know if that could be the reason in my case:
-i deactivated the related patch
-installed Norton 2003 again and everthing was running fine
-after activating the patch the system was hanging again....
-again de-activating the patch and the system was working perfectly....
So, in my case it seemed that Norton didīnt cause the problem but pach
KB891711.........
This, just for your info and by now i really donīt know what to do into
the
near future.
Regards
Huib

That's nice to hear!
I notice that you say that AVG says that it found two trojans in the
Restore
archive - in the Temp folder.
This would tend to imply that they were put there recently (within the
past
24hours) by deletions or removal from elsewhere.
I would run a full scan in Safe Mode using AdAware, followed by another
scan
with AVG while in Safe Mode.
See what you find

Horses

Sorry for the confusion - something seems to have got lost from that
post.
What I *intended* to say was:-
"Without exception, all Symantec products **cause major problems** in
ME -
and also in most other OS's"

Hallo,
I probably missunderstood your other comment: "Without exception,
all
Symantec products in ME - and also in most other OS's" , i thought
you
wanted to say that Norton did work fine with any MS.
By now it is clear, together with the comments under Norton 2004.
Regards

I think you probably know what I'm going to say.........
GET RID OF NORTON!!
Then install something that works better with ME - which leaves
almost
every
other AV application for your delectation (in fact, I can't think
of
anything that runs worse!!).

Hi forum,
First i dedected that the automatic live update of Norton 2003
didnīt
take
place anymore although my license is still to 1/6/2005
Afterwards i regular received a bleu screen.
I could dedect that it finaaly came from the Norton 2003.
After re-installing the Norton 2003 everthing was ok till i
tried
a
live-update and the blue screen was there again.
I had to start all over again and withe the live-update is
everthing
ok.
Any help is welcome.
