Norton Antivirus 2003 and SP2

[techs]

I have installed WinXp Sp2 on three machines with Norton Antivirus 2003. Live update does not seem to work in either Uninteruupted or Notify me mode. I can't find anything on Nortons website about this.
Has anyone else noticed that Norton Antivirus 2003 will not auto update with Sp2) (note that can run live update manually and it works).

I'd check the firewall settings... it's automatically switched on with SP2.

I am using ZoneAlarm pro on all the machines and have the Windows Firewall turned off. I did go in and under the Windows firewall settings and under Advanced found my local area connection found the box is checked for this connection. I unchecked it.
I will now have to wait and see if it works.

There is an updated version of liveupdate itself that needs to be installed w/ sp2. Running liveupdate manually should install it though, but check the Norton web site. After the update, NAV has been updating automatically.

I have loaded 26 systems with SP2 and NAV 2003 with no problems occuring with live update.

Two things:

1. Is ZAP not on that list of 'stuff that don't yet work with xp sp2' ??? (its here somewhere I posted a thread on it !) - but I think they fixed it up now .. which'd explain why some think it works & some think it don't ? (i think it explains much !)

2. Apparently Techs your presence is required in the politico's forum .. as they've been missing you .. awwwwwwwww ain't that sweet ? ....

I've got Norton AV & Personal Firewall 2003. I just put SP2 on my machine, did a LiveUpdate to try and get SP2 to recognise my AV software [dumb - of course Symantex only provide this to NAV2004 and NAV2005 customers.. WHY??].

Anyway it corrupted a couple of files in the Norton Firewall [ATRACK.DLL and IAMAPP.DLL] so I uninstalled it & guess what.. now the Firewall won't reinstall from the CD at all - saying there is an install error, please contact the Vendor.

And the Symantec website is absolutely silent on this (at least as far as I can find). I've just paid to renew my subscriptions with them.. any suggestions what I should do?

Thanks.

Welcome to WD PeteW. What exactly was the Norton install error message or "code"? That should help us get to the bottom of this.

Hi there TripleR, thanks for the welcome.

I'm afraid I lost the Norton codes.. I have been out of email action since about an hour after my post I completely flipped my lid and went back to the system restore point prior to SP2 install and after a hair-raising CHKDSK that lasted a full 1 hour, a complete uninstall and reinstall of NAV and Firewall I am back exactly where I started at 9am this morning.

God bless Microsoft and Symantec. I guess Microsoft is trying to oust Norton's firewall software from its position, and Symantec is either (a) rushing to catch up with a patch or (b) trying to get NAV 2003 users to pay even more cash for an upgrade to NAV 2005 [are Symantec good guys or bad guys?] Anyway I guess me and a million other people will be pulling their hair out in the next few weeks.

Now I'm off for a nice cool beer.
