I'm having an issue with OnlineFamily.Norton. The service is blocking ALL http/https activity, even on unmonitored accounts. If I stop the service (i.e. 'net stop nof') web browsing resumes. If I reinstall, it will function for a little while then stop working again. What can i do to correct this?
Avast is currently incompatible with the Norton Safety Minder and we are working to resolve a solution. If you like to know a little more about Avast, here is another thread on Avast and please read the following link.
"If a program is not listed, then it indicates that we do not have any incompatibility reported"
That clearly is not true. You guys should probably update that page to reflect the problems with Avast. I checked that page before I posted here and since I didn't see it listed I assumed that there must be another issue.
Do you have an ETA on when the issues with Avast will be resolved?
We appreciate your valuable feedback. At present, users who upgrade from Microsoft Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 3 are reporting that Norton Safety Minder is compatible with Avast. We are currently investigating why the two products are not compatible on Service Pack 2. I hope this explains why Avast has not been added to the incompatibility list.We'll give you an update as soon as we have a more accurate ETA for the issue.
Our QA team has done some testing with Avast installed on Window XP Service Pack 3 and has been able to surf on the internet.To reproduce the issue that you are experiencing, so we can address it, please provide us with the following information.
