10.4.8 update and Norton AntiVirus Problem

Since installing the OS Update I'm getting an error mesage from Nortons Antivirus saying there is an error in updating. Unistalled and reinstalled a few times, Nortons suggested JAva was the culprit and so I reinstalled but no luck. Anyone know what the problem is?

Malcom,
That's simply not true, eh.
From Symantec (official, not an employee blog) under 2005-2006 Version:
"Norton AntiVirus 10.1 for Macintosh is currently the latest version available and is compatible with PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers with Mac OS X 10.3.x to 10.4.7."
Looks like Symantec might have to put out an update soon.

  • Live Update and Norton Anti0Virus

    Upon startup after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I get 10 little dialogue boxes with a code 9 and/or 10 from Norton AntiVirus saying reinstall Norton or go to LIve UpDate. Problem is I show no Live Update in my Spotlight and Norton won't let me make any adjustments. It's like the software has disappeared. How can I get rid of these annoying little dialogue boxes and get Norton working again?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hi ComicRef;
    Sure, use the only good code Symantec has ever written, their uninstaller. Use that to remove Norton and it will free up a lot of resource that Norton AV was burning up looking for nothing for your use.

  • Mac OS 10.5.7 and Norton Antivirus 11.0.2 conflicts?

    Since downloading 10.5.7 Norton antivirus does not auto-protect when external drives are attached and console notes "exited abnormally, abort trap". Files were sent to the library "crash report" log. I tried de-installing the anti-virus software and re-installing to no avail. Any known issues? Advice welcomed. Thanks.
    Hope

    Hi hschr;
    You asked any known issues with Norton. I would say if you had done a search you would have found that it is a foregone conclusion that it is more of a problem then a solution. It is known to take far more resources and impact performance much more then is called for by any tool.
    There is no need for a virus tool on Mac OS X. If you feel you need to install one any way then I highly recommend a free one such as ClamXav instead of Norton.

  • Update and membership screen problems

    Photoshop Elements9.03 update won't install. Adobe AIR support advisor says there is no problem.
    a 2nd problem, I just installed this version in my laptop and my membership screen doesn't load. If I go to the internet and enter my url. it is there. I have gone to my Welcome screne and opened it, and it doesn't accept my correct password.

    I had the problem before the firmware update, and I still have it. It's peculiar because the sound controls work and you get feed back when you hit the space or return key, indicating that there's a software jam somewhere; and the keyboard lighting works.
    At first I went through shut down and restart using the on/off button.
    Current strategy is to wait a while, then shut the lid, wait until the sleep light goes on, then lift the lid again, and hit the return button. There's some very subtle changes in the whirring and clicking and then the screen comes back on. Sometimes it seems to come on after I lift the lid the second time without my having to hit the return button.
    I'm suspicious of the sudden motion sensor, since this usually happens after I've picked up the MacBook Pro and put it on my lap; but I haven't shut that off yet and tested it. There are, I think, some threads under the "Power and Batteries" forum that may be discussing the same thing.

  • 10.4.7 update  and external firewire problems with HD corrupion

    Dear all,
    Advised by Jpfresno I started this new topic about Tiger 10.4.7 update.
    I will repeat my post and what was happening 2 weeks ago:
    “In 5 years 10.4.7 update was a tragedy for my Powerbook Ti 667. When I update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 my 300 GB firewire drive gets corrupted, after repairing it with DiskWarrior and after connecting it to my PowerBook my computer freezes and I must shut it down via powerbutton. Safari also crashes after the update.
    I just erase my Hard Drive and after that install 10.4 and update with combo to 10.4.7. But I had the same problems: finder freezes with connected firewire devices and also safari when browsing. I spend a week trying to solve the problem but no luck.
    Yesterday and with no firewire devices, 10.4.7 freeze and I have big trouble in order to started my powerbook!!! Even when i insert the 10.4 install DVD it did not detected my HD. Finally I get it to work and install 10.4 and combo update to 10.4.6 and everything works. My external firewire drive and safari. I already diagnose my HD with disk utility, TechTool and directories with Diskwarrior and everything is ok.
    I clone my 10.4.6 to firewire, boot from it and everything is working. I let my external drive connected and finder does not freeze.
    My conclusion is that the problem is 10.4.7 update. It only give me problems and I was getting crazy with it. 10.4.6 is working good and I do not advice anyone to update to 10.4.7.”
    Last week after reinstalling 10.4.6 I started to have HD problems with my Powerbook 667. I did a surface scan with TechTool I it reported bad sector. Then I done a zero disk format but after a second surface scan TechTool also reported bad sector. Then I take the decision to replace my internal HD. I bought a Samsung 40GB Hard Drive and installed it on my PowerBook. Then I have done a clean installation of 10.4.6 with all applications that I need and clone it to my hard drive with Intego Personal Backup software. Everything works on 10.4.6. and external firewire drive.
    After that everything is ok. But I decided to test if my problem derivates from 10.4.7 update or from previous HD corruption. Then I install 10.4.7 update on my Internal Hard Drive. Everything is working good but after connecting my external Hard Drive the finder started to freeze!!!!!!!!!. After that I tried cloning HD to external firewire with Intego personal Backup. Everything was working good but when it was finishing the backup process started to give errors!! I started panic. I interrupted the backup process but after and after restart I found something strange with 10.4.7. The system started up, I login but I could not started any application!!!??? All my application died!
    Then I have done one more clean installation of tiger and 10.4.6 update.
    My conclusions are that the 10.4.7 update causes all the problems that I have on my PowerBook, because I used the same methods and same software/hardware on 10.4.6 and did no have any problem.
    This last two weeks were very difficult to me. I tough that these problems do not happen with Apple computers but I was wrong!!! It is very hard to me to deal with it. I always said to my friends that I never had problems with Apple computers. I accept that a hard drive died because the use of it but I can not accept that a system update cause me 2 weeks of hard problems and make me loose precious work information! I always love apple computers and Apple OS but now I am disappointed
    If anyone can explain what happen or have a solution for those problems?
    Thanks for the comprehension and collaboration.
    Best Regards
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, alsvieira.
    There are some things you did not check in all of your troubleshooting:
    1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
    2. re: FireWire troubleshooting: Here is some general troubleshooting advice that may help if problems return with your FireWire drive:1. Review the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device".
    2. If this problem occurred after installing a recent Mac OS X Update, and you are also unable to mount CDs, DVDs, or disk images perform the steps in this Mac OS X Hints article. This worked under Panther and may also work in certain situations under Tiger.
    3. Power-on the FireWire drive before starting up (booting) your Mac.
    4. Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
    5. Resett the power-management chip in your Mac.
    6. Try a different FireWire port. James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech, has published FireWire Port Failures in Host Computers and Peripheral Devices, a white paper providing backgroud information and technical analysis concerning the causes of failure for FireWire ports. This may provide additional diagnostic information.
    7. Micromat TechTool Pro version 4 can test the FireWire bus in your computer: this tests the bus — not the ports — but if the problem is on the FireWire bus on the logic board, it should reveal it.
    8. Check with the manufacturer of your FireWire drive or enclosure to see if any firware updates are available for such.
    9. Hopefully, the partition map on the FireWire drive is not damaged. This can happen if the FireWire drive was not Ejected before being disconnected or powered off. If it still refuses to mount, you may need to employ data recovery tools or services: see my "Data Recovery" FAQ.Note that some of the information above is from the "FireWire Problems" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X.

  • Safari 3.1 Update and Shift key problem in Gmail

    The problem of the new 3.1 Safari update and its affect on the shift key in Gmail is all over this forum and the Gmail forum. Is anyone from Apple seeing this? This seems a very convoluted way to let Apple/Gmail know about it. It would be good if one could just email Apple with the problem - or even phoning !! instead of one having to join two discussion groups to find out what is going wrong after a frustrating day trying to send Gmails and only being able to send them in lower case. I joined the Mac world to get away from the Microsoft approach to support, but am a little disappointed that there are so many hoops to go through to find an answer to a problem that has sprng up as a result of a Safari update.

    That matter is being discussed in this thread:

  • Rosetta and Norton Antivirus

    I wanted to install Norton AntiVirus software on my MAC last night because I work in a mixed environment and don't want to risk getting some crap on my MAC. I plan on installing Parallels to run Windows. Anyway, when I went to install it I was informed by Symantec that I need to load something called Rosetta for their software to install. I attempted to load Rosetta from my MAC OS disc and got an error message basically stating that it could not load it because I had a newer OS version than what is on the disc. I'm running 10.6.3 and the most current is 10.6.4. So I try to download and install 10.6.4 from Apple and I have failed repeatedly to download the 900+ MB file. I'm using a hardwire connection from Roadrunner. I get to just under 800mb and it chokes. What is the best way to get around this?
    Personally, I think it is absurd to expect anyone to download a file that freaking huge. There has to be a way to chunk up this download. Any ideas are welcome!

    I echo what has already been said (and thanks for the plug, Richard), but to answer the specific issue of installing Rosetta, I would bet that you already have it installed, which is why you're having trouble installing it from the Mac OS X install disk. Look through your Applications folder, and do File -> Get Info on any old apps. If any of the apps you know run just fine say "Kind: Application (PowerPC)", you've already got Rosetta installed.

    LOL, that's life these days. If you're on a slow connection, or one with limits on downloads, you can try a public wireless connection somewhere - like a library - instead.

  • Update and blank screen problem

    Hi I recently was having the problem were my 8800 would get a blank screen and the red led would blink and the phone would not turn on. I pulled the battery and let it sit and it started to work again. After experiencing this I decided to connect my phone and back it up and try to update the software. I downloaded the bbdm and started to update my phone. I get to the point in the update " loading system software"  Gets about half way though and stops completely. I let the phone sit for 2 hours and hasnt made any progress. I then disconnected it and re connected it and tried the update again. Same problem doesnt make it past loading system software. Im really at a lost. any ideas??? thanks

    I recently had the same issue when I upgraded to the 4.5 OS.  Blackberry had me pull the battery and run the loader.exe program.  It solved my problem.  You have to keep the battery out until it asks to initialize.
    I hope this helps

  • Tiger and Norton Antivirus

    I am posting here as I haven't yet had a fix from Norton. The AV application has disappeared from the Norton Solutions folder leaving aliases and readmes. I have tried reinstalling using Update, my disk and from the redownload link in my saved order confirmation form. Still no App. Is Tiger treating it as a virus?

    I would add that it not viruses that are the problem, but Trojans and malware.
    No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
    It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download from:
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
    If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    (Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
    A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
    http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
    Also, beware of MacSweeper:
    MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper
    On June 23, 2008 this news reached Mac users:
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan/
    More information on Mac security can be found here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The MacScan application can be downloaded from here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    You can download a 30 day trail copy which enables you to do a full scan of your hard disk. After that it costs $29.95.
    More on Trojans on the Mac here:
    http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63574.html?welcome=1214487119
    This was published on July 25, 2008:
    Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
    The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
    In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
    Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.
    Further details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7525206.stm
    A further development was the Koobface malware that can be picked up from Facebook (already a notorious site for malware, like many other 'social networking' sites), as reported here on December 9, 2008:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7773000/7773340.stm
    You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:

    There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
    If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
    http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
    As to the recent 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
    http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
    Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
    1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially *********** sites.
    2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
    3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
    4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
    5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications.
    6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:

  • Norton AntiVirus Problem

    Although I know Macs are supposedly immune from viruses, I wanted to be safe just in case and get Norton's AntiVirus for Mac.

  • New update and HP printer problems

    I recently installed some automatic updates for my computer, including the MacBook SMC Firmware update along with something else that was recommended (but I don't remember what it is). Immediately afterwards, I began having printer issues (ie, I could no longer print). I then fiddled around, attempting to reinstall my HP software. However, I encountered a major problem when my computer wouldn't recognize that there was a printer on my wireless network. I had never had this issue before and another wireless computer could still print perfectly on the same printer. I called Mac and they could not solve the problem. Then, after an hour and a half on the phone with HP, we finally got the computer to recognize that there was indeed a printer on the network. In order to solve this problem we had to reset the entire printing system, manually delete any HP files from my computer, and then reinstall the latest version of the software. I just wanted to voice my concern that the latest updates are not compatible for some reason with HP printing software already installed. If you are having the same problem, you may have to start from scratch to fix it. When I called HP, they said that had been getting identical calls all morning due to this update.

  • New update and web page problems

    After updating to new is on 3GS having problems bring up some webpages. I was able to view them with previous os.

    Your wording is kinda crazy, but try this:
    sync your iphone to your itunes, making sure to back up contacts, notes..etc.. then do a factory reset and install your iPhone as a new device, then back it up with the previous backup of the phone.

  • Live Update and MSI download problems

    While doing some updating to my system I have encountered some problems with Live Update 5 as well as the downloads from the MSI support site for my P67A-GD65(B3) mobo.
    LU5 is incorrectly determining some driver/file versions for things and it is not actually updating these things when I run the download and install option. LU5 tells me I have Intel Management Engine driver version 7.1.50.1172, but the version I actually have on version 7.1.21.1134 on my system. LU5 also incorrectly says I have Intel INF version 9.2.0.1021 when I have 9.3.0.1021.
    When I run download and install from LU5 it does not update the Intel ME driver to version 1.1.52.1176. On the MSI support site under driver downloads for my mobo/Win 7 64-bit the driver version listed for the current Intel ME driver is listed as 7.1.2.1176 MSI Support: P67A-GD65(B3) downloads, but when I run the setup exe from this download it installs driver version 7.1.21.1134.
    Anyone experience anything like this or have any suggestions or solutions...or should I contact MSI directly about this?

    Recommend not to ever use LU5 for drivers or especially a BIOS update. Get the files manually from the Website and install them. Contact MSI if you want and discuss it with them.
