Guest Richard Urban Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 For true Windows security remove anything Norton from your computer. There are many better security applications, and they don't mess with the operating system essentials as Norton does. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "T." <T. @discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7CA52496-032E-4489-B1AC-0AF097689CEB@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> >I am running Windows Security and Norton 360.

Guest Richard Urban Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I am aware of it. I downloaded the 30 day trial and tried it for about 20 days. I then went back to an image that I created prior to testing it. Does it install fast? Yes! Is it less of a load on a system? Yes! But it did not catch things that my small combination of individual security programs caught - specifically a drive by download that I know exists on a certain web page. Sorry Norton but you have to do better. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Richie Hardwick" <richiehardwick@NOSPAMyahoo.com> wrote in message news:3toth4dultm8p19rkvjbqs6as8rmgcls1f@4ax.com...<span style="color:blue"> > "Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS@hotmail.com> wrote: ><span style="color:green"> >>For true Windows security remove anything Norton from your computer.

Guest Peter Foldes Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Found the same with 2009. My test using it on a known infected drive with 2 infectors it did not flag either. AVG and Nod32 both did. Trend and MacAfee also failed -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

You should try to salvage your repository, or if that does not work; rebuild it. All of these commands are typed in manually at a command prompt (Accessories menu). Run as administrator. Salvage: winmgmt /verifyrepository If WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent, run the following command: winmgmt /salvagerepository Forced rebuild: net stop winmgmt /y cd %windir%\system32\wbem\ ren repository repository.old Then restart.
