Norton AV 2005 problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

It is probably not the Norton product. Hundreds of thousands of people use
Norton with no problem.
If it is causing problems, then it is a situation unique to your computer,
perhaps a problem/conflict with other software installed.

Since you give no additional information about how you connect (dial-up,
cable, DSL), and who your provider is, it will be very hard to diagnose. I
would recommend contacting your ISP for assistance. (By default, many times
they blame AV software, when that software is not to blame).

I manage a network of well over 200 computers, all of them run NAV, and not
a single one of them behaves as you describe.
