In the Windows 7 (64Bit) Task Schedular / Task Scheduler Library
There is a root entry:
"Norton WSC Integration",
with an Actions\Start a Program value of:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\Engine\19.1.1.3\WSCStub.exe",
and an Argument value of:
"/taskschd"
There is also a "Norton Internet Security" folder containing the following two entries:
1. "Norton Error Analyzer",
with an Actions\Start a Program value of:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\Engine\19.1.1.3\SymErr.exe",
and an Argument value of:
"/analyze"
2. "Norton Error Processor",
with an Actions\Start a Program value of:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\Engine\19.1.1.3\SymErr.exe",
and an Argument value of:
"/submit"
All three of which seem to be correct and appropriate for the current NIS2012 installation.
However there is also what appears to be a leftover from the previous NIS2011 installation that was not removed by the upgrade manager — namely a "Symantec" folder containing the following two (orphaned?) entries:
1. "Norton Error Analyzer 18.6.0.29",
with an Actions\Start a Program value of:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\Engine\18.6.0.29\SymErr.exe",
and an Argument value of:
"/analyze"
2. "Norton Error Processor 18.6.0.29",
with an Actions\Start a Program value of:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\Engine\18.6.0.29\SymErr.exe",
and an Argument value of:
"/submit"
Questions:
- Are these scheduler entries in any way responsible for some of the numerous and varied problems being reported and posted in this forum?
- Will there eventually be a LiveUpdate delivered “Fixup” to address this oversight?
- Can or should these (assumed orphans) safely be deleted by the user, or should we await the “Fixup” (assuming there will eventually be one)?
