[tesco]

are there any firewalls running that may be blocking it from connecting to the server?

[podgey]

well just disable it just incase...and since ur running xp, try disabling the built in firewall (which is a pos anyway, so i doubt its blocking anything).

[podgey]

done both but still no joy is there a plan b?

[backlash]

I would check symantec knowledge base. I had a problem like that and it involved uninstalling and making sure all files were deleted, I believe.

try this (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/d3c44a1678bd8f45852566aa005902cb/10076ca3c17dbe3fc1256b4f0046cc5d?OpenDocument&prod=Norton%20Internet%20Security&ver=2004%20for%20Windows%2098/Me/2000/XP&src=sg&pcode=nis&svy=&csm=no)

Norton... kinda sucks. Sorry you didn't know. There are always problems with Norton's software, especially updating it. Live Update can be a real pain in the ass.

You should get an anti-virus that works... and without killing your system.
NOD32 (http://www.nod32.com) is excellent.
AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/) comes in both a great free edition and a pay version.

thanks for your help people the problem is fixed

[backlash]

how did u solve it?

[zapjb]

I fn hate that. Tell us how. Fn n00bs. :angry:

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

i hate to say this, but writing zeros to the drive helps because it clears any values set by norton. i can reinstall my comp, and norton thinks my subscription ends 1 year from the date i reinstall. (because all markers are erased from my comp) beats me, but it works :)

[AndrewBarker]

it does after reformatting - is that what you mean?

My NAV and SAV have worked flawlessly since installed on my computer and I haven&#39;t been out to a computer experiencing trouble with either, either.
AVG is a program I have seen problems with on two systems. One wans&#39;t my domain, the other now has NAV2003.

same here :)

NIS and NAV are good products. Bloated beyond hell, but they do the job and then some for the average joe/jane sausage-head PC-user. Systems with less than 512mb ram will definitely feel the crunch resource-wise.

I have found that symantec client-based corporate editions of their firewall and anti-virus softwares offer all the same protections and securities at half the resource cost.

Hell- compare how fast your system starts up using Norton products versus Symantec corporate products...



izzy will never go back. B)

Just checked Task Manager and added up the RAM occupied by Symantec AV v7 (got TPF Pro firewall now)... 36,452KB.
That&#39;s not really a small footprint for an anti-virus.

I haven&#39;t noticed a difference between NAV and SAV as far as computer performance goes. That could be because I&#39;ve got 512MB RAM, but I&#39;d have thought they&#39;d both be paged to disk anyway because I just leave &#39;em be.

I was generalizing, perhaps exaggerating alittle, I am afraid. But the basis of my arguement, I believe, still holds truth. I had read somewhere that NIS 2004 uses alittle less than 100meg while SCS runs at roughly 60meg.

I have no clue, in hell, as to the total resources consumed by both products. Nor would I have any notion of knowing which processes to total up to even begin guessing.

This is what I am currently using. A package which I think to be similar to NIS products in terms of performance and contents. Though I do understand on a much broader, uniquely different scale.
http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/pro...uctID=154&EID=0 (http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=154&EID=0)

All I can testify is that my system, running XP Pro on a [email protected] with 256mg ram, loads more than twice as fast at start up (over five minutes for all processes to load with NIS in place and only a minute and a half when using SCS) when say compared to when I was using NIS2003&2004 Pro. Internet pages load (1.5Mbps dsl on IE browser) instantaneously. Full system anti-virus scans (@150,000 files on a 40gig HD) perform in less than an hour (avg 40 min) compared to the hour and a half that NAV was notoriously noted for.

If this is indication that the two product lines perform vastly different, then my favorability lies with the Symantec enterprise line hands down.

I have the professional version of NIS 2003, but the Live Update still has an expiration. :|
