Norton AntiVirus (XP-SP2) - Fix Now Available


Recommended Posts

I didnt get it until like just 10 mins ago, (SAV 10) I got a new version of LiveUpdate oddly enuff its the one used in the beta version of NAV 2005. I got Symantec Client Security and i got the patch off the new LU, anyway NAV users can get it here, thanks to Radish :D

finally a copy of the standalong version. Live Update 2.5 looks ok, serves the same purpose though

Thanks Radish

Hmm... I too am seeing this on one of my machines... I think it has to do with checking or unchecking that "Norton Security Alert" that said "Do not share Norton security status with other products. (Recommended)"

...

So... Perhaps soon we'll have more info, but it sure would be nice to have the option of changing that "Norton Security Alert" setting... I mean, I have verified that the Norton WMI service is running on that one machine, yet if I disable Auto-Protect, Windows Security Center still thinks all is good.

Whereas, on my OTHER machines, things work correctly: disable Auto-Protect = RED ALERT = ANNOYING BALLOON.

I hope to have some answers, because this is really bugging me darnit :)

I think I found the solution to this "bug" of Norton not announcing security information to Windows... After you get the "Norton Security Alert" that says "Do not share Norton security status with other products. (Recommended)" ..... registry keys are set to store your choice.

I've done some testing (on my NAV2004), and have found the key that you can switch to enable or disable Norton from sharing its status.

The following key can be changed even while NAV is running, and should instantly work... test it by disabling and enabling Auto-Protect while having Windows Security Center set up appropriately.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SymSC\NoBroadcast

REG_BINARY:

00 = Norton SHARES security information with Windows Security Center, and WSC will read CORRECTLY.

01 = Norton DOES NOT share info, and WSC says "Norton appears fine" even if you disable AutoProtect!

I hope this helps someone... this has been ****ing me off for a while, and I'm happy I stumbled onto the solution :)

If you look at the site I posted on the previous page -

A couple of days back it said Symantec would support 2002 through to 2004 products, now it's just 2004.

Symantec have disappointed me since I have one PC with 2004 products, and the other with 2003 products :/

Radish?

That is just whack! Dude said it worked fine with 2002. Did they disable the ability after the fact? If so, that is horribly lame.

SP2 is not turning out to be what I expected. Folks are saying that the new Windows Firewall does not block outbound like it was supposed to, and I'm gunshy to test it as it seems to have nuked my machine for some reason. Plus it broke OE 6 and OE-QuoteFix, which I rely on.

Think SP2 is more trouble than it is worth for me, given that I already have a lot of the security pieces in place and am fairly well protected with MyIE 2, having turned off Scripting in IE by default, running Norton 2002, having a hardware firewall, etc.

Just bummer-er and bummer-er... :o

Thanks for the heads up Radi:)? :)

I know it isnt "written" for 2003 Pro, but still installed it, and heck, works GREAT! now SP2 works with my copy of 2003 Pro!

Also, I am NOT seeing any bugs. (when i disable antivirus, Sp2's Security Center Tells me so!)

Cheers! :D

Good work!

Since I doubt they'll release the patch, I just told Security Center I would keep my AV monitored manually. Better than waiting for a release that may not happen.

Guess that will work just as well. I'm not gonna let SP2 force me to buy more software. 2002 is where I stop with Norton, at least for a while.

Thanks for all the info, fellas! :)

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
