Fried Norton's AntiVirus - any good ideas? ( OT more viruses)
 

Have you done the windows Uninstall Programs procedure? Systems
Works will give you the option of repairing rather than uninstalling.
Try that.

Exactly what flavor of Nortons are you using:
Norton 2002?
Norton 2003?
Norton 2004?
Norton Systemworks?

What version of Widoze are you using?

It makes a difference which ones your using.

I believe you have me filtered out but I'll try anyway... What do you mean
"fried"? Have you had it installed and working and you then uninstalled and
are now trying to install it again? What are your error messages if you are
getting any? DK

I have tried every option availablein SystemWorks.
And yes, I did the Uninstall Program.
I also installed Ghost..thought that would give me access
to the AV program. No such luck.

I also get two error messages on startup:

"Memory access vilation in module kernel32 2746:65135331"

and another with the last 12 digits reading: 9272:93628369

if you had the virus it stops firewalls and antivirus
progs. from working :(


either you or someone else needs to save important files
somehow then most likely do a format/wipe and reload everything

everyone should do a "regedit" registry/ registry export weekly
save as date.reg and then all you have to do is click that and
you can restore from before an attack and be back to normal in 3-5
mins..

Nedra Have you tried booting your computer from the CD, and run the AV
program from the CD.
you may be infected thus causing problems with anything you try to install.

Wow, I'm surprised you can run XP on a machine with just 4 Gig....

Actually, from last November until this past Thursday, things were going
fine! (And I really like being able to deal with digital photos in WinXP
without having to open separate "photo" program).

I really
recommend that you get a new hard drive even if it is just 20Gig (watch
for
them on sale - they are about $1/Gig).

Yup! I'm getting that done Tuesday! 30 gig coming my way (the technician
is bringing it!)

That or go back to a smaller OS.
You will never function properly with what you are doing and you will be
having serious virus problems now or down the line if you cannot apply the
patches.

And I wish MS would have notified me that my "automatic update" wasn't being
successful, sigh......

If you can get a USB jumpdrive, (expensive right now but so very
cute and useful) then you can put your personal data on it and transfer it
to your new harddrive once you are up and running.

Is that one of those cute little keychain thingy's? I've been wondering how
they worked. (I'm not sure whether I have a second USB port; the SanDisk
reader for the digital camera flash cards is using one port -- I suppose I
could always *look* at the computer to figure it out! Since I'm going to
have to make space for the tech to install the new hard drive.)


You can also keep your
current drive as a backup drive (I'm talking outloud here... not trying to
direct or be bossy).

That was suggested as an option, but I don't know if there is room in my
computer for 2 internal hard drives, and I already have way too much
hardware on my desk as it is.

It really is critical that you do the patches with Windows.

Oh, yeah, that I know -- I just wasn't prepared for the concept of *not*
having the capacity to do that!

The msblaster
virus infects a machine that is simply connected to the internet. It does
not come through your email and it does not have to be opened.

Believe me, a bunch of us RoadRunner users were discussing that when Blaster
appeared!

Nedra,

Dave had a good point, BTW -- although you mentioned using an Install
feature, it might have been Norton's -- as in, you put the CD in, the
install program starts automatically ............*except* that Win98 is a
wee bit picky about such things, sigh.... Before doing anything else, you
might try going to Win98 Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and let Win98
install the program. (You say, "Mother, may I install Norton Anti-virus"
and Win98 says "Yes, put the CD in now, dear, and I'll install it, since you
were polite & asked permission.")

If that does not work, you might try the Automated Support Assistant at
Symantec's website http://symantec.com/techsupp/activedata/asa_index.jsp.

Also, it's generally a good idea to close any other programs (including
screensavers) before trying to install any software.

Gale,

I tried setting Norton Anti-virus to just delete emails from those on
the
"blocked senders list" that I had just created, but I got a popup screen
each time NAV did it, yuck!

Try going through the options at NAV until you come to "delete messages
silently" or something like that.

Well, at least this email barrage has accomplished something -- I'm
finally going to get a bigger hard drive installed, so I can download
the
*real* security fix from Microsoft's website; I've tried several times,
but
I don't have enough space on my hard drive (probably because I was
foolish
enough to install Windows XP on an "older" computer).

I think they sell them as keychains.... I find they are really useful if you
have a lap top and a PC or just move data from home to work and a floppy is
too small.

this is what I have.
