Norton Anti Virus says Firefox Memory is 108MB. What this means have you downloaded my documents or visited websites?

Sir,
Yesterday Norton Anti Virus message came as "Firefox Memory 108MB" What this means, is it you have downloaded any documents from my desktop or from my visited websites is not known.
So kindly clarify and clear my doubt.

  • After installed Norton Anti Virus 2011, firefox 4 beta 10 is slower. Anyone can help?

    Just wondering is it a must to have anti virus real time protection during online since I am using Firefox.

    Uninstalling 'messy' applications is one of my pet peeves.
    JMVP's link is your best solution.
    (This really is a post about removing applications in general and not really specific to Norton)
    However:
    If your app came with an Installer, launch it and look for an uninstall option. That isn't always an option though. That's when life starts to suck.
    Manually removing things (also applies to drag-and-drop apps):
    - Drag the app (or it's folder) to the trash.
    - Look in your System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items for startup services for the app
    - The next places to look for app related files are in your Home/Library/Application Support and Home/Library/Prefrences folders
    - Sometimes You can find App related stuff in the main Hard Drive /Library/Application Support and /Library/Prefrences folders
    - Drag these support and preferences files to the trash
    Don't just delete these files at random, they contain all kinds of settings and data. Make sure they belong to the application you are deleting!
    If you are going to re-install the app you can leave these where they are and when you re-install things will probably be the same as where you left off.
    You may have to restart to finish emptying the trash completely.
    The final thing you'll want to do is search for the name (or part of the name or developer) of the app in Spotlight and see if there's anything left over.
    You could also try http://www.appzapper.com/ to remove programs or http://www.allume.com/mac/springcleaning/index.html for general clean up.

  • Downloading installer works, but installation does not. Nothing happens. New laptop with Win 7 (no earlier Firefox version) & Norton Anti-virus. 3rd Firefox

    When I click button to install now, it only restarts the EZ download installer again. I've gone through the process at least 15 times now. I installed FireFox twice before on Windows XP with no issue. I've tried by turning off Norton, computer shut down & restarts, searched Internet Explorer settings for a setting to change, and still no success. I see no one else having this problem in the troubleshooting files, so it must be me.
    New laptop with plenty of harddrive space. Internet Explorer version 9.0.8112.16421. Bing search - yech

    finitarry,
    Thank you for contributing.
    I have downloaded the 607 KB "Firefox_Setup_19.0.2.exe" file four times now from at least three different Mozilla websites via EZDownload. I was very careful about that because one time I did it with Norton Anti-virus temporarily disabled. I double-click on the above file and it opens a new window with various "extra" software options and finally arrives at "Install Now" or "Later" buttons. Clicking"Install Now" brings up a Windows Open File - Security Warning box with "Run" or "Cancel" buttons. Clicking "Run" starts the setup file all over. I'm in an endless do-loop. It never installs Firefox and no new Firefox files show up on my PC.
    AliceWyman,
    Thank you for contributing.
    Before beginning this post, I scoured the Support files and especially the "Download, Install and Migration" help files. Most topics close to mine deal with the Norton toolbar, which seems to have been resolved.
    Doing some more looking, I found that my setup file was always 607KB, yet the website says it is 19.6MB. When I download it to my Windows 7 laptop, I have gotten a 607 KB size file four times, even though the process did not seem to be interrupted. However, using my Windows XP PC, I get 19.6MB. That could be the problem. I'll transfer the 19.6MB file from the XP to Win7 and see if that works. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
    3/24/2013: It worked. Hallelujah!
    Someone might want to verify this only happens to me. Maybe it is one of my settings or a fluke or maybe I'm paranoid, but a brand-new laptop with Windows 7 factory-installed stops the Firefox download at 607KB four times in a row (on different days) with no error message. I have to transfer the file from an old Windows XP PC. That sounds to me like Microsoft is trying to prevent the use of Firefox. It could have been something in Windows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1), Internet Explorer (version 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit), Bing, or less likely, Norton Anti-Virus (because I ran it disabled one time - even though Norton labelled the file as medium risk). Just a thought . . .
    Right now, I am happily setting up the rest of my system around the quicker, more efficient, more user-friendly, less restricting, Firefox browser. Thank you. =)

  • My Norton anti-virus not compatible with firefox add-ons anymore? I can't update without Norton being disabled your warning tells me.

    You sent me a software update. It tells me you found an incompatible add-on. It further tells me that my Norton Vulnerability Protection 11.3.0.9-5 won't work with this update, and will be disabled. I'm suppose to wait until they're compatible and then you will update and re-enable my Norton Protection?? I don't know that much about computers but I do know I need to protect it. I just bought this Norton Anti-Virus Protection at Christmas and now you are telling me it's no good? What am I suppose to do in the meantime? Like I said, I don't know much about this so please use simple terms and be specific.
    Thank You!
    Suzanne Noonan

    That link is for the tool bar, not the vulnerability protection component. The latter is a known issue with Symantec and apparently was a conscious decision on their part on getting patches out in a timely manner at the expense of breaking some functionality.

  • In Firefox 19 will my Norton anti-virus function if the toolbar is not yet compatible?

    I am reluctant to install the Firefox 19 update if my Norton anti-virus will not function.

    Yes that is no problem. Usually Norton updates the sameday as Firefox does so try their updates.
    What is it that is incompatible?

  • Norton anti-virus slows down the start up time in Windows Vista

    Hi,
    please help, i am being driven to distraction by the slow start up time of my laptop.
    I've only had it for a few weeks and don't use it for anything beyond producing word documents etc.
    It has gradually been getting slower on startup and i suspect it has something to do with the Norton anti-virus software on it and the updates for norton that i have downloaded (thinking that this was the right thing to do).
    Looking at the problems and solutions log on the computer the date that it really started to slow down coincides with downloading a norton update, which i have been unable to uninstall to check if this really is the problem.
    Further i have tried doing a System Restore, my laptop was not able to complete.
    I am stuck on the DOS screen for 10 mins with the message:
    PXE-E32 FTFP open timeout
    I have no idea what this means but the Problems and Solutions log says something about a system hang?
    I have looked on the web for other anti-virus software and they all seem to have one problem or another and slow computers down on startup.
    Does anyone know of a solution or do i just have to make a cup of tea when i switch my computer on and lace it with vodka till it has booted up completely!
    I am a novice when it comes to using computers so would welcome any non-technical advice.
    thanks

    Hi guys
    I would like to add some words about my experience using the Symantec Norton Antivirus software.
    I have used this software 3 year long. It was great because it supports one of the best virus filtering options BUT it really slow downs the operating system.
    I didnt use it on with Vista preinstalled notebook but on Win XP and I have to say that the notebook boot process was halted for about 30sec-1min till the whole parts of Norton Antivirus software has started It was very annoying
    However, I switched to AntiVir. This is software described by marina4000 and Im really happy because the boot performance increased.
    So finally I would also recommend removing this Symantec Norton Antivirus software and to switch to the other free AntiVir software ;)
    Bye

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Incompatibility with Norton Anti-Virus Prog

    After successfully installing the hardware and software for Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, my Norton Anti-Virus Program quite working (it is part of 2004 System Works). I tried all suggested fixes recommended in the Norton Knowledge Base for this problem but nothing works. There is nothing in the Audigy 2 literature or on the box that says Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is not compatible with Norton but obviously Norton knows there is an issue. What can I do to fix this problem.

    Hi all.
    Normally I tend to help, but this time the tables have turned and I am looking for help.
    My lovely Audigy 2 ZS Platinum PRO sound card was working lovley, no hickups or problems until I upgraded my monitor yesterday.
    I have upgraded to a lovely CTX Triniton USB CRT monitor (to replace my old generic 7" monitor).
    For some unknown reason EAX console nolonger works. It crashes with an error report.
    "AppName: eax.exe AppVer: 2..8.0 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0082ce85"
    Surround Mixer no longer works either, in fact NONE of the Creative applications work, however the card works in games and music applications.
    I am completely at my wits end. I uninstalled ALL of the drivers/applications and deleted the Creative directory. I am using the stock drivers and applications off the CD, but even THEY do NOT work!!!
    HELP!!!
    I reverted back to my old generic 7" monitor, but the problems still persisted!!
    What is going on?
    I did a full virus and spyware scan and that found NOTHING!!
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    PS I cannot reformat because I am using a RAID0 array which has important data on it.
    Thanks
    CTX Triniton USB CRT --> does USB mean, there are USB hub/controller(s) 'onboard' --> how many USB controllers more can be seen on device manager? Some of these may share IRQ with Audigy or its 'add-ons'.
    Try to disable all those new USB controllers 'comes with monitor' or turn them OFF (from monitor panel) if it's possible. You can then later apply them easily.
    <i>Also, did you install some software bundled with monitor. Thse may have changed some files to newer or older versions. Try re-installing SP2/directX/patches for OS.</i>

  • Norton Anti-virus-Unable to Live Update (Virus Def) Error/Java 1.4.2

    Hello all.
    I have Norton Anti-virus 10.1.1 running on my iMac, Live Update has always been set on "auto" scheduling.
    Until these few days, I have difficulties Live Updating the latest virus definition, I will get this error message window:
    Updating Error
    There was an error performing the update (OK button)
    I emailed Symantec and got a reply, saying the problem could be due to Java 1.4.2, they ask me to re-install Java 1.4.2
    However, a check at Apple's Download site reveals no single stand-alone Java 1.4.2 installer, only updates. Is Java 1.4.2 part of the current OS or was from previous OS?
    Anyway when I tried downloading the Java 1.4.2 Update, my iMac refuses, in the installer it says:
    You cannot install Java 1.4.2 Update 1 Package on this volume. This volume does not contain a version of Java that needs updating.
    So if Java is the problem like what Symantec Support points out, how can I re-install Java 1.4.2?
    Thanks and cheers

    1. You wrote: "Also, to the previos post, I trashed all the Java receipts and still unable to (re)install Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2, I think the console results say it all, I have Java ver. 1.5, right?"If you see the same output as I provided, then you should have the same version: that should be obvious.
    Don't touch anything in the Receipts directory unless you know what you're doing.
    2. You wrote: "Dr. Smoke, not exactly sure how to go from here where you point to the URL, about checking the console messages/logs for Live Update? Can you help provide some pointers."The instructions I provided earlier, as well as my FAQ, are self-evident. You should not need any additional pointers. Re-read my instructions then re-read my FAQ.
    Paraphrasnig what I wrote earlier: If you see the Live Update error again, check the ends of the logs cited in my "Checking Console for clues" FAQ for any messages related to LiveUpdate problems, e.g. messages citing LiveUpdate that were written to the ends of the logs I cite in my FAQ at the time the problem occurred. If you check immediately after the problem occurs, the messages — if any — would be at the end of the log.
    What could be clearer than that?
    3. I suspect the Java 1.4.2 info you were given earlier by Symantec was a red herring, i.e. a false lead. Console-related messages as noted in point 2 above would be helpful.
    4. You might want to perform a general checkup for some common troublemakers: run the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    5. Likewise, following the Symantec advice to download the virus defs once and then trying again in a week or so isn't a bad idea.
    Good luck!

  • Anti-virus Software: Norton Anti-virus OR Intego's Virus Barrier?

    Hello all.
    Let's just assume here that "we need an anti-virus software" and not dwell into the other area of discussion about Macs not needing any, despite the recent 'worms'.
    Which one would you get, which one is better overall? Norton Anti-virus or Intego's Virus Barrier?
    I think I remember reading a MacWorld magazine back a few months and think they rated Virus Barrier the best.
    What about you guys? Thanks and cheers.

    First, do not believe the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) spread about Norton AntiVirus. A good bit of that is undeserved, especially when it comes to NAV 10, which is the Tiger-compatible version and what I use.
    I recently engaged in a debate on this subject in this thread, so you can read some of my thoughts there in response to the usual FUD spread about NAV and Symantec Norton products in general.
    See my "Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware" FAQ for my recommendations as well as a list of some recent Mac OS X security threats that have emerged, including Trojans, rootkits, and spyware.
    You can also read another post of mine on this topic here re: NAV vs. Intego.

    A little late to the game, but .sit files are Stuffit files as developed by http://www.stuffit.com/ Apple used to use this compression format, but does no longer, and no longer includes the free Stuffit Expander program made by Stuffit.com. If you need to extract an old .sit uninstaller, get it from Stuffit.com. And also any company making such a program for Mac OS X should seriously consider upgrading their downloads to be .dmg.zip files instead, which are more easy to extract on Mac OS X without downloading extra software.

    I just got the new imac with OS X 10.4.8. I moved my stuff from my old mac running OS X 10.3.9 via the firewire as asked during set up. The problem I am having is the Norton Anti Virus I was running in 10.3.9 will not run in 10.4.8. I removed the Norton folder from my applications and to the trash, but the yellow and black ying-yang symbol remains in my upper tool bar and it still wants to scan. I have to turn off the scan feature every time I sign on or I keep getting an error message till it is off. I can't find any way to uninstall this stupid thing, and I can not remove it from the toolbar at all. I sure hope someone can help me.

  • How do I remove Norton Anti-Virus

    I purchased my MacPro Early 2008 used, and it had Norton Anti-Virus on it.  I deleted all the folders a number of months ago when I got repeated prompts on startup that the program needed to be upgraded, but apparently that did not uninstall it.  I just tried to use the RemoveSymantecMacFiles https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us, but it will not accept my admin password.  I'm guessing it wants the admin password of the previous owner, who I have no way of contacting.
    Any suggestions for a work-around?  Apparently it is keeping Super Duper from being able to back up my Mac hard drive so I need to figure this out.

    When you buy a machine used, if it comes with the previous owner's stuff on it, the first thing you need to do is erase the hard drive and start fresh. You don't need the hassle of working through all the problems someone else has created - especially someone who would install Norton on their Mac!

  • Norton Anti-virus and burning Appendable CDs: possible with Automator?

    I want to build an automator workflow that would export selected photos from iPhoto, create a disk image, and then burn the image to a CD, leaving it appendable. I also would like to be able to turn Norton Anti-virus off at the beginning of the workflow and back on at the end. (It sometimes interferes with the creation of a disk image).
    I find no Automator actions for Disk Utility (to burn a disk leaving it appendable) or Norton Anti-virus. Am I out of luck?
    An earlier (now archived) post implied there was a non-automator way to do this, but I didn't understand the geekspeek. Can it be done with AppleScript? If so, can someone either walk me through the steps or point me to a good intro to AppleScript?
