Error: 8506, 421 and others

I changed from the NIS to 360. Ive had some issues here and there with NIS over the years but 360 takes the cake. I got it a month ago (basically when my NIS was expiring I moved to 360) .

 

Systems:

Windows 7 x64 SP1 (with all current updates) (on all computers)

NIS 2012 Uninstalled with Norton tool remover (made sure all old settings / old versions were deleted as well)

Installed Malewarebytes Free v1.70.0.1100 (all current updates)

Norton 360 v20.2.1.22 (all current updates)

 

Issues:

(this was today's issue)

Norton 360

20.2.1.22

Error: 8506, 421

Windows 7 Home Premium

I have also had to uninstall and reinstall it 2 times on a couple of them in the past couple weeks. Then today this on 4 of them,  I seem to be spending more time fixing then using. Anyone know what's up?

I'm having this same issue. Norton eventually disappears from my taskbar and when I try to reopen it, it either simply doesn't respond, or the Autofix pops up and can't fix itself.

 

If I reboot it reappears for a day or two.

 

I've reinstalled it twice now.

Here is what I copy and pasted from Norton's Auto-fix.

All I did was simply lock the computer, and go to bed last night. Hopefully this isn't something that will keep happening, Because as of now, I can't open norton 360. I am going to re-boot and see if that fixes it. (shouldn't ever have to do that in the first place)

I have been stuck with the same issue for a week now. Is there any solution besides Norton Removal Tool that works?

Hi,

 

Could you all please run Norton Power Eraser and check if it picks up anything. Maybe it will give more information.

Hopeful this post helps.

 

Regards

 

 

 

I think I might have been able to fix the problem, for me at least. I started to get this error when Norton 360 said I was able to upgrade to the newest version. After numerous reinstalls using Norton Removal tool I was still having the same issue. I tried Norton Power Eraser and it found absolutely nothing. What I DID do, was uninstall Norton 360 using Norton Removal Tool and when my computer restarted and prompted me to the download page, I ignored and closed it. Instead, I reinstalled it using my CD. I don't know if everyone purchased Norton physically or not, but it seems that the newer upgrade was the cause of the issue for me. Hope thos helps anyone else!
