ORIGINAL POST

Can anyone at norton confirm the following.

Norton security is causing BSOD.

symptons:

3 different domain controlled networks with computers of various builds (windows 7 and windows 10, both pro) are all getting a worker thread impersonalization BSOD. Mulitple computers across the domains. Only commonality is i use norton security on all of them.

IS it a case of just update to 22.7 or is it because of 22.7?

Please advise , i have hundreds using this product!

That hot fix does not seem to apply… I am getting a 0X000000df in the event viewer. I had run a live update at approximately 11 AM EST 6/28 this morning and still got a blue screen around noon. I am running on multiple intel NUC's and dell machines all with win 7 pro that are up to date.

I also have the same issues. I have 20 PC's and BSOD caused on only NIS 22.7.0.76 machine. NIS 22.6.0.142 machines have no problem. I already contacted norton support, but he says "I've never heard that issue". I deleted NIS on 3 PC's and installed ESET, and those machine have no BSOD after that. I'm now worrying about all my PC's will automatically update to 22.7.0.76 with Live Update, and all of them will repeat BSOD.

How do you go about submitting a real problem report where it gets put in front of a software engineer instead of talking to someone in India that wants to reset your password? I need results, not a support forum to make suggestions.

Same problems here.  Out of about 15 Win 7 64bit machines and a couple Win 8.1 machines, a couple now have the latest Norton update that kills the machine with BSOD on a pretty regular basis with a "Worker Thread blah blah blah" error.  Removing Norton fixes the issue, but I'd rather not uninstall it on all the machines.  Is a fix in the works???!

1. The crash occurs randomly and is not application-specific.

2. The screen is the same as with "jochentj"

3. Norton is only updated. The last update is back approximately one hour.

A morning wasted.

No, they do NOT have a fix, despite what I was told originally.

They needed to look at a computer and confirm that a problem was happening and it was what I said it was.

Once they determined that was the case 90 minutes later, they said to email when it crashes again so they can collect more dumps.

Maybe time to look at other options when subscriptions lapse if not before.

There's nothing specific that will cause the crash that I can figure out.  It seems to happen randomly after a certain amount of time.  I'm assuming it's when Norton is doing something in the background and it dies.  It can happen when the machine isn't even in use - just sitting at the desktop screen.  The error log attributes the problem to ntoskrnl, which could be anything.

Our FIRST machine with the problem started last week.  Our SECOND machine with the problem started Monday. 

Removing Norton Internet Security solves the problem, so it is DEFINITELY a Norton issue - 100%.

Hey guys, done some more Sympton reviews, maybe this will you @mohan_G. In all 3 environments i see a common after effect. The BSOD computer has to reinstall the Business client  agent msi (either x86 or X64) and hence takes a longtime to reboot. Even after that they cannot write to previously mapped drives until another reboot is done. I also note in the event viewer every program gives out error reporting after the first reboot AFTER the memory dump.

Hope that may shed some light in what its taking out.

Our third machine applied a Norton liveupdate and started doing this today now.  Unlike the other two, this is a Win 8 machine.

It would be nice if Symantec/Norton STOPPED PUSHING OUT THIS UPDATE THAT'S CAUSING BSODs until it's FIXED AND TESTED.

On my PC's, BSOD occur not on specific operation. It happens suddenly. Today, one more PC upgraded automatically to 22.7.0.76 and start BSODing. It's a nightmare all 20 PC's will upgrade and BSODing soon. I watched memory.dmp with windbg, but specific process isn't shown.

I think I am seeing similar issue with 22.7.0.76 causing BSOD with at least 3 instances of BSOD error related to "IMPERSONATING_WORKER_THREAD" since yesterday.  I wonder if applying liveupdate now may have the issue resolved or that I will have to do an uninstall.  The concerned PC is running Windows 10 64-bit.

Hello Community,

we´ve got the same problem at different customers since last weekend. BSOD With Stop:0x000000DF.

Affected are different machine types (Win7-32Bit, Win7-64Bit, Win10-64Bit, maybe XP-32Bit (not sure, but BSOD since last weekend, but no BSOD since two days after changing RAM)) with Norton Security installed. I´ve deinstalled the Norton Securities today and it seems to solve the problem. Before the deinstallation the customers reported the BSOD almost every hour on some machines

I´ve got the memory dump from one Win7-32Bit machine if needed.

Looking forward a solution - we have MANY customers with Norton Security installed...

Best regards

Christian

Hello Community,

I've got the same problem on 6 pc's on a network running win7 , after automatic update to Norton Security version 22.7

The crashes to BSOD occourred with a one-hour period approx.

I've stopped Norton Security on 5 computers to avoid the crashes and keep on working.

On the sixth I've disinstalled Norton Security and then re-installed it and it seems to work.

Tomorrow I will try it with the other pc's.

Having the same issue here at our office. Running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Norton Internet Security with Backup, Windows 2000 Server environment, multiple workstations showing BSOD with Worker Impersonation multiple times per day. Please post steps to provide log files publicly so other users in this thread, like myself, can provide log information to you. LiveUpdate is current and that fix has NOT resolved this problem.

Can you please explain how to capture these logs? The instructions essentially:

1. Turn on a logger

2. Reproduce problem

3. Press button on logger

But there's issues with this: we can't reproduce the problem, it appears to be at random. Also, how do we press the button on the logger if the symptom is a blue screen? Will the button on the logger persist after turning the computer back on?

Thankfully the issue hasn't happened again for me, but that doesn't mean it's fixed for sure, and that also means I can't reliably get logs for it.

Hi Snehansh,

All affected machines at my customers are at 22.7.0.76

I removed Norton Security today with Removal Tool, ran the NSBUDownloader and did a Live Update after installation.

LU installed 19 updates + 1 additional Patch and was on 22.6.0.142 afterwards (Only ran LU once).

Some hours later the update to 22.7.0.76 was installed by LU and the machine crashed soon after again ...

COULD YOU PLEASE REVOKE 22.7.0.76 FROM LIVE UPDATE UNTIL YOU HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ???   
Maybe with 22.7.0.75 at least after a fresh install Norton won't crash any more...

Best

Scratch what I said before about it working now, just got another BSOD.

I agree with @JVO, please at the very least release a new version (if you cannot revert backwards) that reverts the changes 22.7.0.76 made. If this is not resolved sooner the only answer will probably have to be permanently uninstalling it from all PCs, which nobody would rather do.

In response to the Admin Update pinned at the top of this post requesting Log and Memory Dumps - in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, going through the advanced system settings gives the option to do a Small Memory Dump or Kernel Memory Dump. There is no option for Complete Memory Dump. Additionally, as all the users on this thread have reported, this error is not recreate-able, as it happens seemingly randomly, therefore "perform the action that causes the crash" is an unsupportable request, as is clicking "Finish" in a log program after the error occurs. The BSOD immediately precedes a system shutdown and no opportunity to "Finish" an error log is available. We would like to get you the information necessary to resolve this problem, but the information seems unobtainable based on the instructions given in the link provided above. Hopefully Symantec employees are experiencing this problem by now and can obtain the requisite logs.

And for those of you having an issue gathering SymNRA logs for us, these are the basic steps we'd like you to perform:

1) Start the logs
2) Let the issue occur - it should happen on its own, and we don't want you to force your system toward data loss
3) Once you're able to restart successfully, stop the logs
4) Send us the logs

Yesterday we did a test in 4 machine of different customers and we temporary disabled the Software Protection Service on windows and so far none of them had bsod again. Logs seems clean now. Dont think this should be a final solution but maybe could buy us some time until Norton takes out the bad update. We have more than 200 PCs with Norton!
