- Alarm version 2.0 installed on your system. We recommend updating your
- version of Zone Alarm or uninstalling it when using Norton AntiVirus.
-
- MSN Windows Messenger 4.6 - 4.9
- -------------------------------------------------
- There is a known issue when user tries to exit MSN Messenger via taskbar.
- A message alert will prompt:
-
- "There are other applications currently using features provided by Windows
- Messenger. You must close these other applications before you can exit Windows
- Messenger. These applications may include Outlook, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer,
- and Internet Explorer"

- 2. Click on Options
- 3. Click on Instant Messenger on the left side

- How to save an MSI log file to troubleshoot install and uninstall issues
- -------------------------------------------------
- If Norton AntiVirus fails to install, we recommend saving
- the Norton AntiVirus 2004 (Date/Time).LOG file that is generated
- by default during your installation of Norton AntiVirus. This will
- help the Symantec Support Team to resolve your issue faster. After
- uninstalling Norton AntiVirus, there should be two Norton AntiVirus 2004.log
- files. Install log should show earlier date, time and smaller KB size. Uninstall
- log should show later date, time and bigger KB size.
-
- To locate this log file:
- 1. Click on "Start > Run."
- 2. Type the following command "%temp%".
- 3. This should automatically launch the Windows
- temporary directory.
- 4. Find a file called "Norton AntiVirus 2004(Date/Time).log."

-
- Sending outgoing email can be slower within Outlook
- Express or Outlook under Windows 2000
- ---------------------------------------------------
- There is a known Microsoft issue with Windows 2000,
- Outlook Express and Outlook, (SMTP) email will send
- slower with Norton AntiVirus email protection enabled.
- Microsoft has resolved this issue and a hot fix that
- can be downloaded from the following website:
- http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q294/7/69.ASP
-
-
- Supported Ports for Norton AntiVirus's email protection
- ---------------------------------------------------
- Norton AntiVirus only supports email scanning on the default
- ports of 110 (POP3) & 25 (SMTP). Currently, we do not provide
- Email protection for any other ports.
-
-
- Creating new user profiles after installing
- Norton AntiVirus on Windows 98/98SE
- --------------------------------------------------
- Creating a new user account(s) after installing Norton
- AntiVirus may generate errors when accessing the
- following features "Scan for Virus" and "Options."
-
- To correct this issue
- 1. Locate the Windows directory installed on your
- machine. (If you have not customized any settings,
- this should be located at C:\Windows during a
- default installation of your operating system.)
- 2. Browse to the following folder in your windows
- directory:
- C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Symantec
- 3. Copy the entire "Symantec" folder from
- "C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\"
- to "C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\"
-
-
- Norton AntiVirus Toolbar integration with
- Windows Explorer
- --------------------------------------------------
- Norton AntiVirus automatically adds a toolbar button
- to the first Microsoft browser launched after
- installation. Other Microsoft browsers can be
- manually added by right-clicking the Explorer toolbar
- and selecting Norton AntiVirus.
-
- Please note: There is a known Microsoft bug the
- Norton AntiVirus can show up as a duplicate menu item.
- This is documented in the following Microsoft
- knowledge base article:
- http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q231/6/21.ASP
-
-
- Network Associates PGP compatibility issue
- ------------------------------------------
- Network Associates PGP encrypts the boot records,
- preventing Norton AntiVirus from scanning them for
- viruses.
-
-
- Digitally signing emails in Outlook Express 6.x and
- Office XP
- ---------------------------------------------------
- Outlook Express 6.x offers the ability to digitally sign
- emails to ensure that they are not modified during
- transfer. Norton AntiVirus email protection will modify
- the emails during virus repair. This will create an
- Outlook alert stating the message has been modified.
-
-
- Inoculation and AP alerts for boot sectors on Windows 98/ME
- -------------------------------------------------------
- Auto-Protect and Inoculation ignore disk label
- (volume label) changes to prevent false virus alerts.
- Viruses cannot use the disk label to infect your system.
- For the same reason, changes to the OEM ID in a boot
- record are not reported.
-
- By design, Auto-Protect does not report writes to a boot
- sector or master boot record if the new sector is
- identical to the one previously on the drive. For
- example, you may use a disk editor to write back the
- same data to a boot sector or master boot record.
-
-
- Dynamic Volumes on Windows 2000 and XP
- --------------------------------------
- Norton AntiVirus does not fully support Dynamic Volumes.
- Scanning these drives may result in the error message
- "Unable to read boot record on drive." This is because
- these drives are not bootable. However, Norton AntiVirus
- will scan the drive for infected files.
-
- Email client configuration and outbound email scanning
- ------------------------------------------------
- Some email clients (Outlook and Outlook Express for example)
- can be configured to disconnect your dial-up Internet connection
- or PPPoE connection (if you are required to sign onto your Broadband
- provider) after sending email. If outbound email scanning is enabled
- within Norton AntiVirus this disconnect can occur while the email
- is still being scanned, preventing it from actually being sent.
- If this occurs, it is recommended that you disable the automatic
- disconnection feature within your email client.
-
-
- Updating Windows 98/ME video drivers for
- Auto-Protect
- ------------------------------------------------
- Some video drivers for Windows 98/Millennium may
- cause display corruption or an apparent system lock up
- when an Auto-Protect alert is generated. To correct the
- problem, upgrade to the latest version of the video
- driver.
-
-
- Using Norton AntiVirus with directory symbolic
- links/NTFS junctions
- ----------------------------------------------
- Using directory symbolic links, also known as NTFS
- junctions, on Windows 2000 or Windows XP
- machines may increase hard drive scanning times due
- to repeated scanning.
-
- ADVANCED PROTECTION
- ----------------------------------------------
- If you install Norton Utilities over a version of Norton AntiVirus
- Professional, restart your computer to be sure the Norton Protected
- Recycle Bin is performing correctly.
