I am getting loads and loads of blocked messages each day in my history file relating to Norton Product Tamper Protection.
Most of them are to do with accessing Process Data (about 72 entries).
Should I try to stop these continual access blocks or just ignore them? Is there a way of stopping these programs trying to access this information? It seems odd to me that some of the programs would require this access anyway!
The Actors are:
SIBER SYSTEMS\AI ROBOFORM\ROBOTASKBARICON.EXE
LOGITECH\SETPOINTP\SETPOINT.EXE
PROCESSTAMER\PROCESSTAMERTRAY.EXE
TRUSTEER\RAPPORT\BIN\RAPPORTSERVICE.EXE
TRUSTEER\RAPPORT\BIN\RAPPORTMGMTSERVICE.EXE
WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SERVICES.EXE
NETPEEKER\NPGUI.EXE
The Target is:
Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Engine\17.8.0.5\ (see attachment Word document for individual files)
Note: I have edited the text report document from History to include only todays history and further edited the list to include only the relevent information to make it clearer to read.

When some of these processes are running they slow Firefox to crawl and I was looking in depth to try and stop as much unnecessary activity as possible.
From doing a Google search on NetPeeker, I would say that this program is going to interfere with NIS.
It can limit network transfer speed for each application or connection. It's a fully functional personal firewall, which can setup rules based on DNS name and URL, and can import rules from other resources. It includes a popup killer, which eliminates annoying popup windows when you surf on the Internet.
From that description it is going to slow down your net connection and it seems to have a firewall also. It sounds to me that it is definitely going to conflict with NIS. I would recommend that you remove that program and see if you can find a removal tool from that company and get it removed thoroughly. This is probably why FireFox is slow. This program may have also interfered with the proper running and installation of NIS 2010.
I haven't checked out the other items listed, but this one is a conflict in my opinion.
I do not want to remove NetPeeker as it is my only fall back when I want to see what is going in and out of my computer. It does have a firewall but I do not have that enabled and I do not use any of the other facilities either. I use it simply simply to see what is going on. Even the data capture is turned off. From what Bombastus says I cannot see that it is any worse than any of the other programs trying to access Norton and there are 3 other programs all accessing ccsvchst.exe in a same fraction of a minute.
It only seems to be when pulse updates and ccsvchst.exe and mcui32.exe are running for a period of time that the problem arises.
Rapport is also my specific bank security so I cannot disable it.
However I will bear all the good advice in mind when the problem arises again.
This is what comes when trying to be as secure as possible.
Sometimes you have to give up speed for security. Keep in mind though, that this may be the only visible signs of conflict, which are merely annoying. There are times that the hidden conflicts actually interfere with security as they fall all over themselves trying to do the same job at the same time.
