Guest EGA Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 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. -- EricG

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.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Re: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word 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...

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.

Guest EGA Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 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. -- EricG "EGA" wrote: > 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.
