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 Huib "Noel Paton" schreef in bericht ... I think you probably know what I'm going to say......... GET RID OF NORTON!!

No problem,

After installing AVG as "temporay try" it even dedected 2 Trojan Horses wich Norton never founded (also in C:\ Restore\Temp) Many thanks Regards Huib "Noel Paton" schreef in bericht ...

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.

Hallo Noel,
I performed both scans as you requested and everthing was fine (removing the virus in C:\restore\temp can only be executed after after first disabling the Restore funtion - but that i am sure that you do know). I am using now temporary the AVG and i was thinking to a package which combines the virusscanner and the firewall. Currently i am using Zonealarm as firewall (not bad but everytime running a scandisk it fails on the tvdebug.log file). Would appreciate your advice on it. Nevertheless again thanks.

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.

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?
