I have issues with my stupid Norton too.
it blocks everything. (or so it seems) and i have to disable its dumb butt in order to install stuff.

and i have gotten that message a couple times upon turning my computer on,, but all i did was run a virus scan and it quit popping that message up from then on out.

i wish you the best of luck with yours.

I called the number for Norton that someone had posted previously.
After I explained that I followed the online "fix" by uninstalling and then
re-installing and still got the error message. The Tech Rep told me that
Norton is experiencing a lot of this technical glitch & they are working to
solve this problem.They said wait 24 hrs & call back if it still does it.

Somehow knowing that a lot of other people also are experiencing this
same problem, does not make me feel any better.

I am having the problem that when I install the updates, I cannot get mail from my outlook to download. So what is with that? Anybody know how to fix that?? I have to go back and do a system restore, and get rid of the update, and then I keep having to saying no to the update. Thinking about getting rid of Nortons all together! But I need something that will get rid of Popups. Anybody got any suggestions? Help!!!!

Let's do a little trouble shooting. Those with problems, which product are you using??

I'm using Norton AntiVirus 2006 Techcenter Edition.

p.s. The thick accents of both people I talked to makes it VERY hard to
understand what they are saying.I had to repeat back to them what they
were trying to say to me.
