Norton Antivirus 2002 Patch For XP


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can get a patch to make the NAV 2002 version I have compatible with XP?

The smart idiots at Symantec released NAV 2002 on August which was compatible with all flavors of Windows, except XP, then on September they released the XP version, but guess what?

NO PATCH for those of us who bought it back in August!

Smart ah!

What do they expect? That we buy it again? - I don't think so.

I have been looking for a patch but cannot seem to find it on their web site. Maybe I am looking on the wrong spot. If anyone knows of such a patch, PLEASE let us know.

BTW: Nice going Symantec. That was very smart.

"Rename Error" during Norton AntiVirus installation

---------------------------------------------------

If you experience a Comctl32.dll rename error when

installing Norton AntiVirus, an error dialog box on your

screen shows the following information:

RENAME ERROR

An error occurred renaming a file "Cannot create a file

when that file already exists"(error #183).

Current File Name: C:WINNTSystem32Comctl32.dll

New File Name: C:WINNTSystem32comctl32.bak

To fix the Comctl32.dll rename error:

1) From Windows Explorer, access the following directory:

winntsystem32

2) Right-click the following file:

comctl32.bak

Select Rename

3) Type the following as the new name for the file:

comctl32.old

4) Run the Norton AntiVirus install program (setup.exe)

again.

.......................

.......................

Dynamic Volumes on Windows 2000

-------------------------------

Norton AntiVirus does not fully support Dynamic Volumes.

Scanning these drives might result in the error message

"Unable to read boot record on drive." This is because

these drives are not bootable. However Norton AntiVirus

will scan the drive for infected files.

MO drive incompatibility with Norton AntiVirus

----------------------------------------------

When Norton AntiVirus scans certain MO drives such as the

Olympus Turbo MO 640S III, you may experience a system

crash when scanning your hard drive. To correct the

problem you are required to Disable Int 13 support for the

drive.

To disable Int 13 support:

1 Click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

2 Double-click on the System icon.

3 In the System Properties dialog box, click Device

Manager.

4 Ensure "View devices by type" is selected.

5 In the device list, expand Disk drives.

6 Double-click the disk drive item defining your MO

drive. (For example, OLYMPUS MOS364)

7 Click the Settings tab.

8 On the settings panel, uncheck the box next to

Int 13 unit. (This disables Int 13 support for the

drive)

9 Click OK to close the MO drive's Property Settings

dialog.

10 Click OK to close the System Properties dialog.

11 Click Yes when prompted to restart your computer.

Script Blocking not enabled when scripting is not present

---------------------------------------------------------

The Script Blocking Options appear to be active even when

you don't have scripting enabled on your computer. These

options do not take effect unless scripting is enabled.

If you have not enabled scripting, your computer is not

vulnerable to scripting threats.

Short File Name (SFN) alias generation during install

-----------------------------------------------------

If you are installing Norton AntiVirus to a custom

location that is a Long File Name (LFN) folder, SFN alias

generation must not be disabled during the install. To

re-enable SFN alias generation, run

REGEDT32 and change the following registry key entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlFileSystem

NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation should be set to 0 to enable

SFN alias generation.

You must restart your computer in order for changes in

SFN alias generation to take effect. Set the value back

to 1 after installation to disable SFN alias generation,

if desired.

Turn off Script Blocking when developing scripts

------------------------------------------------

If you are developing or debugging scripts, we recommend

that you disable the Enable Script Blocking option.

Otherwise, this feature might block the script that you

are developing or testing.

Uninstall Beta versions of Norton AntiVirus

-------------------------------------------

If you tested a Beta version of Norton AntiVirus,

uninstall the Beta before installing the release version.

This removes unneeded files that would otherwise remain

on your disk and prevents problems that could arise due

to changed file formats.

Uninstalling LiveReg or LiveUpdate

----------------------------------

Because LiveReg and LiveUpdate are shared by several

Symantec products, it is not uninstalled automatically if

you select Uninstall Norton AntiVirus. Do not uninstall

these components if there is any other Symantec software

installed on your system.

To uninstall LiveReg or LiveUpdate , choose Add/Remove

Programs from the Windows Control Panel and select

LiveReg or LiveUpdate.

Uninstalling Norton NT Tools

----------------------------

If Norton NT Tools is uninstalled after Norton AntiVirus

is installed, the shared file S32STAT.DLL is removed.

Reinstall Norton AntiVirus to correct the problem.

Updating Windows 98/Me video drivers for Auto-Protect

-----------------------------------------------------

Some versions of Windows 98/Me video drivers cause

display corruption or an apparent system lock up when an

Auto-Protect alert is generated. To correct the problem,

upgrade to the latest version of the video driver.

Upgrading to Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP

---------------------------------------------------

Uninstall Norton AntiVirus before installing Windows NT,

Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your computer. Reinstall

Norton AntiVirus after the new operating system is

installed.

Using Netscape with Norton AntiVirus

------------------------------------

If Norton AntiVirus is installed as a Netscape helper

application, a downloaded file will be lost if Netscape

is closed before the download is complete.

Using Norton AntiVirus with directory symbolic links/NTFS

junctions

---------------------------------------------------------

Using directory symbolic links, also known as NTFS

junctions, on Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP

machines may increase hard drive scanning times due to

repeat scanning.

-----------------------------------------------------

Because Norton AntiVirus is a system-level application,

when running LiveUpdate under Windows NT, Windows 2000

or Windows XP, you must log in as the same user with

administrative rights as when you installed

Norton AntiVirus. When logged in without administrative

rights, Norton AntiVirus will always consider your virus

definition service out of date.
