I am fed up trying to install Norton Antivirus 2005.
While loading it fails at updating components registeration.

Can some one help !!!!

Thanks
 
haha, Norton. It's a wonder they sell any because unless you have a brand-spanking new system with a completely fresh load of XP and all drivers and updates done and you don't have a single hardware issue and no other scanning tools installed, good luck getting NAV2005 to load!

AVG is good. Or if you want a retail AV, get Panda Platinum.
 
most likely correct!

You are much better off without that Norton bloatware!
Instead go to http://free.grisoft.com and get the free AVG, it is better than that paid-for crap from Symantec!

Current versions of NAV/NIS have real problems getting installed correctly--
just look a this to see the nightmare!

resolution includes
update to root certificate,
new MS installer update
notice of Task Scheduler requirement
Norton removal tool
registry cleanup tool
XP SP2 fixes

My NAV/NIS is 2005, installed on a brand new laptop easily, iis stable and very useful, but apparently migration from previous versions is terrible!
 
liveUpdate impacts today

Well it WAS stable, at least until 9am pdt today :-(
After liveUpdate session,
___registry was altered to set disableNotify AND,
___ccApp hangs on switch user, logoff, or shutdown, AND
___access to email pop3 account hangs, even after adding a rule to
______ALLOW all outbound port 110.

Had to disable NIS Firewall (leaving NAV and IDS active) and use the Windows Firewall for inbound isolation.

Hard to believe Symantic did this to themselves, but the laptop ran just fine late Sunday and there were no signs of contamination/breach previously.

btw: spybot S&D found the disableNotify!=0 condition :)
