Norton product patch for MS Security Center


Question

Well I've managed to snag the WMI patch from my own PC when LiveUpdate was updating to make NAV & NIS work with the MS Security Center.

Since Symantec won't release an individual XP SP2 patch on their site to support their consumer products (they might - but who knows? :unsure:), this is your best bet to getting the WMI patch without waiting for LiveUpdate to get it for you (for the impatient n00bs :crazy:) :yes:. But also for people who might want to keep a copy since it's very small and update without using the net.

This currently works for 2004 products, though it may work on earlier versions as well - try it at your own risk though ( I'm in no way responsible if anything negative happens to your PC :ninja:).

I'm gonna upload it to my Neowin webspace first then provide a link here :)

If the patch doesn't work, tell me and I'll close the thread as it was pointless :cool:

LINK - Norton WMI Update

Run the .MSI, since that's the only thing that works in the folder :laugh:

Again no it doesn't do outbound. You can open any application you want and have it send information out and SP2 will never make a peep, it will not give a warning until something decides to send data to that app.

That is not outbound protection, it's application based inbound protection.

test it superrcat, try an app that only sends out and tell me if it warns you about it.

I JUST updated my computer to SP2 via Windows Update. This time, so far, no crashes.

I JUST got the file that RADISH posted on the very first page and installed it by executing the MSI file and it seems to have FIXED the non-communication with Windows Security Center, even on my NAV 2002 application.

The file RADISH provided does seem to work with NAV 2002, thankfully. Radish - U DA MAN! (Y) Thanks much for the link and hosting of the file. Much appreciated.

BTW, that CHECK BOX that someone asked about earlier (one I've duped below), should we just leave it checked as is the default? What will it do?

Thanks,

BK

Here is a Screen Shot of my Norton System Works 2002 (with NAV 2002) screen along with the screen of Microsoft Security Center (with an inset of the ABOUT screen for NAV 2002 to show the version number). As you can see, it does indeed seem as though the file that RADISH provided has indeed worked out all the issues between SP2 and Norton 2002. Thanks again to all involved. I'm glad that the Windows Update version of SP2 appears to be functioning properly. I hope it sticks, especially after my bad experience with the downloaded version install.

Happy computing, fellow Neowinians,

Good for you.

Though I think there are two different patches, one for NAV alone & the other for NAV+NIS combined.

Since I tried it on another computer with NAV+NIS 2004 products, only NAV was recognized by the Security Center - not NIS.

I might have to try and snag it again ;)

Thanks. I don't use NIS so unfortunately have no knowledge about it. I'm just grateful at this point that I was able to downlSP2 via Windows Update and download the file you provided to get NAV 2002 (included with System Works Pro 2002) working with that service pack. I'm happy that so far, SP2 has not seemed to cause near the havok it did when I did the external patch. Perhaps they did something in the Windows Update delivery that was more careful about how it integrated and affected the system. If all this works, I'll restore from GHOST to my SP1 state, make sure all my drivers, etc. are up to date and do a full-on repeat of the SP2 Windows Update, the Norton patch and then do a final GHOST image reflecting the changes. I have done a bunch of tinkering and testing in addition to the SP2 and NAV updates since doing my last GHOST and don't want them to be anywhere near the final GHOST image.

Again, thanks and good luck to all you folks out there looking to make Norton 2002 or Norton 2003 work well with SP2.

Ok I just installed the .msi that Radish posted and it just seemed to do exactly the wrong thing. It now says I have no antivirus installed. What did I do wrong??? I'm running XP Home and NAV 2003 Standard. Any Ideas?? :blink:

I find it pretty weird, but almost every time Microsoft patches something in Windows Norton breaks down. Implicating that Norton Products are too closely tied to the versions of those critical system files. It could mean only one of the 2 things:

1. Programmers @ Norton are stupid. I mean why do they have to come up with with a patch every time Microsoft changes something in Windows? No other AV requires as much patches just to make it compatible with a newer version of Windows system files. :blink:

2. They're really great programmers and that they really breakdown every tiny detail and feature of the particular version of Windows components; you know squeeze the maximum juice! :p But then again if that is true how come Norton AV is the biggest memory hog? :whistle:

I'd like to clean up some misconceptions in this thread:

1. The Windows Security Center doesn't actually make your antivirus work better. It does not make it more compatible with windows. The fact that it tells you that you don't have an av should not bother you because you know you do have one. Since the Security Center uses resources i'd disable it, it's not doing anything useful anyways. (start>run>services.msc>disable security center)

2. Having an outdated version of any antivirus is pointless. Even if you are getting the latest definitions. The actual program being old is a dumb thing to have because the actual engine does not offer you the latest protection.

If you are installing this patch on anything other than 2006, I must tell you that it is a completely pointless thing to do, in two ways.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches.

Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used.
