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.

Good luck

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.

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.

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

ICSA Labs - TrueSecure Corp.

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.
