Hey all,
I've purchased a 10 user pack of Norton Antivirus 2011 today and I installed it on 7 of my office computers. But disaster has struck and I'm facing all sorts of problems on all my computers since I got the antivirus installed and running. I'll try to summarize the problems each computerwise:
Computer 1.
This one is badly affected. I had run the scan on this and there were close to 200 errors. Virus was some variant of Sality. On checking fix it agains the errors it sort of hung for a while. And then the antivirus closed after a while. Now it wont start again. Also most of my existing programs have their exe files missing, including Internet explorer, google chrome and a whole bunch of other programs.
Computer 2
This one had an update running and since the update finished the desktop icons have all disappeared. But hte programs otherwise are runing.
Computer 3
The anti virus option in this computer is disabled and i cannot enable it. The anti virus says the computer is at risk and even after trying to fix it, i still get the errors that the anti virus feature and the Sonar feature could not be activated.
Computer 4
This computer is actually a license server for Tally in my workgroup. However, since the installation of the anti virus none of the computers have been able to connect to this server. I've tried unblocking the program from the network firewall configuration option in norton total security 2011, and on the program it says that the program is Allowed, but nothing happens. Also this computer was some how not majorly affected by Sality.
Computer 5,6
Havent had the heart to do anything on these computers and had them shut down after the anti virus installation.
It now seems that Ive somehow done more harm than good by installing an Anti virus software. Please help.
Best regards,
Mohit
