WARNING: Norton Update this week is F'd up

[wjgollatz]

It has really messed up my computer - been having shutdown problems, and it put Outlook Express out of action - after a bunch of restarts Norton asked if it should automatically configure Outlook (which it should already have done so). So I am figuring all these little problems are associated with the Norton Update. I;d turn the Live update off and wait a bit.

What Norton product(s) do you have?

(no problems with my folks' Norton Antivirus 2004, LiveUpdate or manual)

My norton antivirus 2005 got messed up as well.... After updating, it kept saying 'reinstall failed' when loading Outlook....

Wednesday's NAV2003 Live Update worked fine on my systems, FWIW.

Something is definately up.

Reinstalled last night, everything was working fine... Ran the update no troubles....

This morning, Norton Antispam is malfunctioning. No controls anywhere in Outlook and when i try to gather the status or configure, it crashes

I have Norton Internet Security 2005 - running XP Home - and usually IE 6.

My problems have been:

- unable to shut down in a reasonable time - from a typical 20 seconds to 5 minutes. Seems to have been fixed now.

- Java web pages have gone to hell. Get all sorts of run time errors (on pages I never had a problem with). I used to be able to go to my comcast.com home page - but can not - I get about 25 run time errors I have to click through so I had to change my homepage (using IE 6). I haven't checked it since because I am happy with my new homepage.

Norton Internet Security stops responding and attempts to shut it down do not work. Its seems to have fixed itself.

Outlook Express is out of whakc - at one point I was able to send and retrieve mail - then nothing (no server response) then only recieve, then nothing, then only recieve. I had to goof around the controls so that SSL is only enabled on incoming email so I can send and receieve now - when Comcast expects that both sending and recieving are enabled. When it is enabled - I was either getting a timeout - or some message saying a secured message was detected and it would just stop the whole process.

I was hoping that an uninstall and reinstall would have fixed things - but apparently not.

There is a new update today for Norton - appears to be the same catagories - so far the shuit down and restart has been ok - I don't know it it is a fix or not.
