System problems with norton 10

I used norton 9.0 and I've just installed norton 10 (bad idea). Now my ctrl button for options menu (also right mouse button) doesn't work anymore, provoking a temporary freezing. Is there anyone can help me with this stuff? Thanks.

Never use Norton on your Mac.
There are hundreds and hundreds of reports of corruption and freezes caused by Norton. You need to get rid of it.
If you feel a need for virus software, use one developed for Max OSX.

  • Slow system – problem with OS, software, memory, hard drive?

    I am running a MacBookPro5,3 (Intel Core 2 Duo – 2.8 GHz, Memory = 2 x 4 GB, Hard drive = NVidia 500 GB - 100GB of which is free space), using Mac OS X 10.6.3.
    I was running 10.6.6. Then attempted a software update to 10.6.7 and the system essentially stopped working, Was able to back up data using target disk mode, and then reinstalled 10.6.3 using a purchased snow leopard DVD (had lost the disk that came with the computer). Worked for a while but have been having issues with increasingly long and frequent system slow downs (spinning beach ball). Recently attempted another system update, and the update failed and wasn't able to do anything. Used the 10.6.3 dvd and did a disk utility check – it initially said there was a problem with the hard drive – but on another restart from the DVD this issue disappeared (but still no working OS). Attempted connection of my computer to another laptop using target disk mode – this failed to show the target hard drive and only showed the dvd which was in the computer booted up in target disk mode.
    At this point rebooted using the DVD and was able again to install system 10.6.3. However, there are still occasions of sporadic slow-downs associated with specific applications (spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 – 120 sec). Ran disk utility from the DVD again – states that the permissions and the hard drive is OK. Also, ran a memory test (using Rember) which stated that everything was fine (although the test took nearly 2 hours to run and was punctuated by much spinning beach ball activity).
    At this stage i am not sure whether I have a problem with memory, the hard drive, the OS or the software. Clearly something is not right – are there any other options to test my system (since I don't have the original dvd – I haven't been able to run a system hardware test) - other third party options?
    Thanks in advance for any advice, and apologies for long post.

    Sounds like a failing hard drive or SATA controller. It's not clear whether you have a backup of your data. If not, you should remove the hard drive from the machine and install it an external enclosure or dock, then back it up using another Mac. Then take the unit to an authorized service outlet for testing.

  • Skype problem with Norton

    Dear All, Kindly be informed that I bought new Lap Top with "Norton" antivirus and I can't access my Skype account since that day although I can access it with the same username and password on my old PC. I gave it permission through "Norton" but it doesn't work, so please advice.

    I had the same problem.  I told Norton to add another firewall rule and navigated to the Skype Updater file.  As soon as I told Norton to allow that file my Skype logged on fine.

  • Problems with Microsoft office after system problems with 10.3.9

    I had some problems with my G5, it lost the memory for the dock etc but I have been able to fix that but now none of the programs in the Office package are working and there is also problems with Illustrator CS2 they all crash at startup, I have tried to re-install the programs but the problem is still there. Knowing how Os 9 and earlier worked I know that it was possible to trash the prefs file for the program and it would usually solve the problem. Is there something similar I can do here without loosing my mails in entourage etc.?

    Have you tried repairing permissions? Go to macupdate.com and download a free program called Onyx. Run the automate tab options.
    I would also download and run the 10.3.9 combo updater from Apple. That tends to fix things as well.

  • Problems with Norton

    I have Norton confidential, antivirus and firewall on my Mac running 10.6.8.
    when I open Firefox, Norton tells me I cannot be protected while surfing the web; that I need 1.5 version.
    However, the Firefox version installed on my computert says I have 1.9 yahoo users edition! I want to continue to use Firefox if at all possible (hate SAFARI)
    Thank you
    D Clippinger

    Is this with Norton Confidential?
    It appears this is an old product that Norton killed off, which explains the out dated messages about Firefox 1.5. It has been replaced by Norton Identity Safe. https://identitysafe.norton.com/

  • Think I have a systemic problem with my MacBook Pro

    I have posted 3 diff questions but now think it's a systemic problem. Lately, the Mac doesn't see my BB, ICAL is deleting appointments, and I can't download pics from my Canon camera. What could be going on. I didn't change anything substantial.
    Mac is 10.6.4

    As a first step, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • Problems with Norton antivirus after Tiger install

    I installed Tiger yesterday and it all went well. After the install however, on every restart or when turning on the computer I get this error message:
    Norton AntiVirus Error. Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect could not continue. Please reinstall Norton AntiVirus and restart.
    Of course, I did the reinstall for Norton but continue to get the error message. Any assistance is appreciated.

    There's no question that the exploit is serious, but it is a very narrow exploit, only involves specially-crafted RAR files, and there's both a completely adequate workaround and a virus definition to flag potentially compromised RAR files.
    Given that, there's no reason to uninstall NAV: simply implement the workaround, download the latest virus defs, and stay away from RAR files for a bit. I expect we'll see a patch shortly.
    The hysteria that this problem has generated from some, as well as some of the responses — uninstall NAV, throw out NAV, etc. — is wholly unfounded given the workaround and available virus def.
    There have been Mac OS X exploits announced for which an Apple-provide fix took a couple of days to publish. Given the response to this Symantec issue, I'm surprised some didn't advocate uninstalling Mac OS X at those times.
    As you point out, there are those who exchange documents with Windows systems, employ macro-enabled documents, etc. Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround opens them up to a wider range of threats. Doing so simply makes no sense — i.e. is "nonsense" in the dictionary definition sense of that word — given that the available workaround and virus definition address the RAR exploit until a patch is published. That's not disparaging: that's fact.
    Why waste the time or expose one's self to other potential threats when the workaround and virus def are available and the patch is forthcoming? Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround and virus definition is "throwing out the baby with the bath water."
    The Symantec-bashing that has transpired in a variety of threads since this problem arose is also unwarranted. NAV is a good product. I've used it for years and recommend it. I have no financial relationship with Symantec: I simply like the product, use it, and I recommend what I use.
    ClamXav and the underlying ClamAV engine are also good products and I recommend ClamXav for those who can't afford NAV or prefer an open source product. But the ClamAV engine has also had similar exploits found in its code, so it also has an imperfect track record.
    As software complexity increases, finding all of the potential exploits in the design or testing phase is increasingly difficult. All software installations are a matter of trust as to if the developers did the best job they could to ensure a product free of defects, including security exposures.
    Good luck!

  • Discovery System: Problems with exposing RFC as web service

    We have a version 2 discovery system and have successfully implemented the three exercises from the TechEd workshop (Sales Order Distribution, Creating a PO Store Record WS, Adding a New Step to the Procurement Scenario with SAP CAF GP). It seems to work fine except for two issues with the RFC/WS:
    1) The RFC, and therefore the WS, always returns an empty string instead of the 'X' that the documentation shows in Step 4.h. We checked the RFC itself and it looks like it has an error with the price field; it always appends a blank to the end of the price string and then errors.
    2) The created web service does not show up on the Web Services Navigator page. Since the instructions tell you to save the URL to the WSDL, we can find the web service and test it, but you cannot find it on the Navigator page.
    Neither of these problems are huge, but they make me worry that something is not quite right in the Discovery System and we may end up with larger problems later. Any ideas what could cause these two problems, and how to fix them?
    Thanks, Eric

    Hi Eric,
    First of all let me assure you that your system is perfectly fine and both topics that you have raised are the way the system is suppose to respond.
    1. The reason that the service is returning a null is because you are entering the same input parameters more than once. Since some of the parameters are used as primary key's in the database, you will need to change them in order to successfully store the data.
    2. The reason that you don't see the service in the Navigator page is because this service resides in the ERP and not in WebAS. Only services deployed on the WebAS will appear in the Web Service Navigator page.
    Thanks,
    Itai

  • Why, after disabling all add-ons to correct a problem with Norton, am I unable to re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396, even though all 7 applications in the "Containing Folder" are enabled?

    mynortonaccount.com web page began coming up whenever I would go on line. Norton email support gave me steps to follow using my Firefox browser, in the safe mode, to disable all add-ons and reset user preferences to Firefox defaults.
    Since then, although trying about 15 times, I have been unable to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396 so that it functions.
    From the "Re-initializing the plugins database" article, and progressing to the "Open Containing Folder," but unable to select File and Exit menu, I did locate "Adobe Acrobat" version 10.0.0.396
    which showed all seven applications "enabled." This problem is with Firefox only. Internet Explorer functions normally.

    If you want adobe acrobat pdf files to open in firefox you need an acrobat plugin, have you checked that is installed and enabled.

  • IPhone new operating system - problem with alerts

    There seems to be a glitch on the calendar when setting up alerts with the new IPhone operating system. When I set up a time for 1st & second alerts the system does not keep the times I chose and reverts to other non-chosen times for the alerts.

  • Mount scan problems with Norton AntiVirus 10.1

    Autoscan freezes when I mount iPod in dock, connected to my iMac via a firewire connection. Autoscan will not respond to eject or cancel scan. When I eject the iPod in iTunes, the iPod screen continues to read "Do Not Disconnect".
    Any similar experiences of solutions?

  • System problems with permanent internet connection

    Days ago we contracted a broadband internet connection with the Chilean company "VTR", the connection is permanent, reason why the only way to stop it is to disconnect the Ethernet cable of the Mac. The point is that when the Mac is connected to Internet with an open app i can't open another because the Mac will "freezes". The solution is to disconnect the Ethernet cable and later open the application that is needed. There is a form to solve this, without disconnecting the Ethernet cable constantly?

    Having just gone through Hades getting a friend's wireless Airport to set up, I've concluded there is a great amount of plain old voodoo involved. What I finally did to make it work, I really do not know, as I tried so many things. However, the Airport Base Station has TWO different types of reset, and CORRECTLY doing the "total" reset was one of the keys to getting the three Macs to connect. Don't be afraid to try a complete re-do from the beginning including resets to defaults. Also, turning off everything and restarting sometimes also makes a difference. Another variation is to leave out the DNS settings, if putting them in doesn't work.
    I was frequently at the step where the Mac was connected wirelessly to the router, but the router wouldn't go onto the internet for no apparent reason.

  • After installing firefox 4.0 I've been having problems with rundll error on startup. Norton scan is finding a high risk malware.

    Last week I installed firefox 4.0 beta & the next time the computer was restarted a rundll error window appeared that said windows cannot locate file. This file showed up in the startup programs. When norton finds this which is every 1 or 2 days it removes it after a restart but the error & malware comes back. I went back to firefox 3.6 but still have this problem. Can you help?
    Thanks, Dennis

    It seems unusual that Norton should block and remove firefox updates. Having said that I was posting in a thread about problems with Norton a few days ago see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789617#answer-143767 thread] ''"I down loaded fromFFox the latest down - norton 360 - stopped the down load - stated not to use it - asked to stop running the program - I click yes thinking a problem now on my other computer I cant use FFox as a Browers -"''
    I use Norton (NIS) and received only a mild advisory on one Firefox update. I have Windows XP with Firefox3.6.15 & 4RC installed
