Re: Norton 360 - Crashes while changing Firewall Settings

[ Edited ]

From the original poster:

Hello!

 

I'm currently having an issue with Norton 360 where when I try to change the firewall settings to my applications, the system just upright crashes on me and I have to restart my PC just to have norton running again. I have programs that I need to unblock which were previously unblocked until the last recent update. Now I have numerous programs (games mostly) blocked that I can't unblock due to this.

 

Here is the jist of my PC specs:

 

Machine name: MIKURUX-AT-PC Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120330-1504) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: BIOS Date: 02/05/10 19:13:52 Ver: 08.00.10 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM Available OS Memory: 16360MB RAM Page File: 5123MB used, 27595MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 64bit Unicode

 

Can anyone help me with this?

I'm having the same problem. Norton 360 crashes and afterwards, there's no way to open it again. I know this message is of no help to anyone but just to let know that someone else's having the same problem.

 

I hope they solve it soon. It's really anoying.



I know this will not help much, but the following thread has a couple of work arounds for this problem.

There are lots more threads here in the 360 forum regarding this exact same issue. The NIS 2012 thread is more active\current.
