Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word 200


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am posting this here as I am not sure whether it is a Windows XP problem,

or a problem with NIS 2007 or Word 2002.

 

I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2007 and have Microsoft Word

2002 and Works 7.

 

I occasionally check the Log Viewer of Norton Internet Security and have

noticed that I regularly get the following entires under the heading Symantec

Resourse Protector>Alerts

 

The entires are always the same, apart from the PID number and are as follows:

 

<Date> <Time> Unauthorise Access Logged

 

Event Details

Actor: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE 10\WINWORD.EXE (PID=168

(different number on each occasion)

Target: \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Common Client\ccService\Channels\

Action: Unauthorised access

Reaction: Unauthorised access stopped

 

Can anyone throw any light on this apparent problem. Is there some thing I

can or should do in either NIS2007 or Word 2002 to prevent this apparent

security problem.

 

Needless to say all my products are always fully updated.

Good advice. Norton is famous for screwing up computers. The problem,

however, is that it's hard to remove. Go to Semantec's web site and

download the uninstall tool. Then, download and install Avast! for your

anti virus, http://www.avast.com and Comodo for your firewall, http://www.comodo.com/

Both are free.

 

You'll be thankful you did, trust me.

Re: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word

 

EGA,

 

Open NIS, go to the FIREWALL. Click on the PROGRAMS tab & give WINWORD.EXE

'Permit Always' access. Maybe its set to 'Automatic' or 'Custom'. If it's not in

the list, click ADD & go to Program Files... find the application & add with

'Permit Always' access

 

Another thing you can do as you have a Home Product is ask Symantec Live Help

 

http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/productdetail/contact_ts.jsp?pvid=nis_2007

 

As for the others who state you should bin it are free to express their own

opinion but this advice seems to be escalating due to the pyramid reading of the

users; One person says it & a few more read it. They pass on what they read to

others & more read it... Before you know it 1 million people have said the same

thing starting from one person who obviously has no idea to start with

This advice coming from 2 MVP who use AVG with its own Adware BHO or AVAST that

doesn't pick up a virus or Sophos that is totally useless. Just 3 products that

should never be recommended

This is caused by NIS. This same issue has been posted and answered in the MS Office newsgroups many times.

 

Uninstall Norton as per their uninstall tool available from the Symantec site. Then install either AVG or Avast which will do just as a good job if not better.

Re: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word

 

Thanks for all the responses. Whilst some of you might think that telling me

to uninstall NIS and use alternative is good advice it actually does not

address my problem. However, the problem has now been solved.

"Trust me". Every time I hear/see/read that phrase, a skinny, dirty,

haggard little street thug comes to mind. Trust you? Not for love nor

money!

Besides, you're wrong.

There is no way you can know that's caused by NIS. The "many times" you

mentioned has always come from closed minds and parrots. You sound like a

parrot.

Neither AVG nor AVAST are equal to or superior to NAV. And equating them

to NIS is silly - there is no equivalency that way. NIS is NOT NAV.

 

With the information given by the OP there is no way you should have even

bothered to give your closed minded response let alone anything else.

Actually there is an unwritten agreement between MVPs to support each

other in order to belong to the club!! You scratch mine, I'll scratch

yours type!!

 

to get MVP, one need to sleep with another so that recommendation is

easy to come by!!

RE: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word 200

 

Hi

 

For Newbie Coder - sorry I missed your post and thanks for your advice. I

did try permitting winword.exe full access in NIS Firewall but that didn't

stop the error messages. I have since used the Symantec online chat to

resolve the problem which required me to go to NIS Auto Protect and under

Miscellaneous I had to uncheck the box "turn on scanning of Microsoft

Products". This doesn't apparently leave these products unprotected.

 

For the others that responded

I have used Norton products ever since I bought my first PC and have never

found any problems with their software. I did research other alternatives

but didn't find one that didn't have problems of one sort or another for many

users. I think the biggest problem with any anti-virus/firewall product is

for a lay person to understand their workings to an extent that they can

tailor them to their specific needs without relying on the default settings -

these do not always do the business in some cases.

Your last sentence is emotional and not fact. If you follow these newsgroups

with any regularity you'll find literally thousands of users having problems

with Norton.

Re: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word 200

 

EricG,

 

Nicely said

 

I have used Norton products Since Norton Antivirus 5, 2000, 2001 then moved to

corporate versions & never once had a problem with it. Neither have anyone I

know just a few people in the newsgroup with their pyramid reading

 

If anyone has the money then I would recommend SAVCE over the Home Products

 

As for poprivet - enough said :)
