Hello AverageJoe,

 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was doing some testing and unable to reproduce what you saw. Can you take me through the exact sequence?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Okay well obviously first I installed NAV and updated it.

 

Then, download a program that terminates the processes. This installs a device driver and uses it to terminate processes with this function. NAV doesn't block this method.

 

The only process that I was unable to terminate I did this:

 

Start>run>cmd:

 

Net Stop "Symantec Settings Manager" then Y for yes when they ask if you are sure...this disables the other services as well, leaving system unprotected.

 

Is that enough detail?

Thanks for the details, Joe.

 

You bring up an interesting case and I'm following up with the Security Response and product teams for a thorough response. In the meantime, have you encountered a security application capable of protecting against kernel-mode threats (in XP anyway) delivered through the admin account?
