Re: Norton Antivirus messed up network. Need help!

AntiVirus only ? or one of the Security Suite packages like Norton
Internet Security. I'm not totally familiar with the 2006 product line,
but AV shouldn't interfere/block or take down a network. If it was
NIS then it added additional security features including a firewall that
would need to be configured. Usually, after reboot you have options
to pick network settings & locale.
You might want to try a System Restore - but make sure the data on
the PC is fully backed up. It's one thing to loose a network, another
to loose data. Best to go slow, not try random things to fix it and just
let someone more experienced take a look at it.

Guys, need urgent help!!!

My boss called me to update his Norton Antivirus in the office. When I
started installing 2006 version it told me that I have to remove version
2002, which I did and installed Norton 2006 then. When all was done the
local
network they had went down...... He's gonna kill me tomorrow. I know
nothing
about networking. What shall I do to restore it back? (I swear I did
nothing
except uninstalling Norton Antivirus 2002 and installing 2006)

Thanks in advance....
