Symantec Intrusion Prevention and Norton Security Suite

Same exact problem here at the same time. Right after the Symantec update. If I disable the Symantec intrusion prevention all works OK again. Come on Symantec, test this stuff CORRECTLY before releasing it........

 

 

Working toward they day when all businesses use COMMON SENSE !!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[edit: Clarified subject to reflect move.]

Oh yes......Win 7 Pro 32 Bit no problems before todays Symantec update. Malware, trojan and virus free. 30 years in IT support...........

  • I saw this also. Figured it was related so didn't go to far in to trouble shooting.......Its a Symantec issue. Also de-installed the 360 product completely and re-installed it. It worked fine till I ran the updates again and the problem was back again. Had to disable the add-on. Looks like they could get it right before a release............

    I tried it but it didn't help. Win 7 pro 32 bit and IE8 with all updates. N360 product.......:smileymad:

    Is anyone else as confused as I am?

     

    This appears to be a one person conversation, but I'll bet someone broke it off another thread and did not bother to reference the other thread so others could follow it.  :smileysad:

     

    it_caveman if you still need assistance, could you start another thread - or perhaps go back over your problems summarizing everything you tried  in this thread, as we don't know what it was.

     

    Thanks

    I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We are looking at the issue and will post here when we have a solution in place.

     

    Cheers,

    Dave 

    We will be providing further updates concerning this issue on this thread:

     

    http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Internet-Explorer-8-quot-not-responding-quot-when-symantec/m-p/332499#M136282

    See the thread referenced by Dave Coleman where Tim Lopez has now posted that a solution is part of an update available via LiveUpdate so try that.

    The mod broke this off the original thread because I was using N 360 from Comcast.  It still the same issue for all versions though regardless of what they say. It should have stayed where it was originally. They say they are working on the issue caused by the update that was pushed out.....................:smileysad:

    Because it helps other COMCAST users who may be having the problem and would not look in NIS/NAV for help.

     

    And LiveUpdate should solve the problem, if it is identical in the COMCAST version as in NIS/NAV .... do let us know please.

    I agree

    But your welcome to come over here and talk to yourself anytime you want.

     

    Problem seems to have been fixed with the latest patch. There were two more a few minutes later so run LU till it doesn't find anymore updates to be certain you get them all and the latest ones....................:smileywink:

    Thanks for the confirmation -- all's well that ends well....

    I spotted this thread because it was concerning Comcast version, but could not follow with the moved post. 

     

    Anyway for what it is worth, I have not seen any mention of this problem on the Comcast Forum, nor have I noticed it on my XP system running NSS. 

     

    BTW, I hadn't noticed it on Vista nor Win 7 running NIS 2011?? :smileysurprised:
