Hallo,
I had the same problem and was intended to drop my Norton 2003 but after i dedected that KB- patch KB891781 was causing the problem everthing was solved... So at least try it if not yet cancelled that patch. Regards Huib "Aunt_Jehmimah" schreef in bericht ... "Ron Martell" wrote: "Eamon Younis" wrote: Hi I'm having a problem with Norton Antivirus 2004. The computer sometimes halts when I start it up and other times I would get the blue screen of death just after start up. It all started when I used Liveupdate to update the software. Does anyone know a fix for this? Regards Eamon In my experience NAV 2004 is incompatible with WindowsMe and you should seriously consider switching to a different antivirus such as eTrust, Trend Micro, or AVG.

Canada -- Microsoft MVP On-Line Help Computer Service http://onlinehelp.bc.ca In memory of a dear friend Alex Nichol MVP http://aumha.org/alex.htm Dear WinMe-NAV 2004 Users: I am not here to offer a dissenting view, but I have been using Norton Anti-Virus 2004 Pro. with Windows Me for about one year, and with no complaints. I will say that the "Pro" version does include some extra (and sometimes unwanted) features, which I found conflicted with other software. Those I simply disabled. -Blanch River |

IMO I would be dumping NAV and sticking with keeping Win Me fully patched
against known attack vectors which means having the KB891781 patch installed. But then again by installing NAV I feel you are already halfway towards having a system that's going to be causing you problems. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Huib wrote: Hallo, I had the same problem and was intended to drop my Norton 2003 but after i dedected that KB- patch KB891781 was causing the problem everthing was solved...

I concur with Mike M, and further suggest that using the older NAV 2003
program means the AV core engine may not be able to detect or remove some of the more recent nasties. I strongly urge you to consider a migration to another AV tool, esp., since many offer free trials now: The Virus Bulletin http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/ ICSA Labs - TrueSecure Corp. http://www.icsalabs.com/html/communi...products.shtml AV-Test http://www.av-test.org/ Keeping your Microsoft OS fully patched, in a timely manner, is one of the minimum requirements to be an honorable member of our fragile Internet computer community. -- Jack E.
