Re: Problem with Windows XP, Norton Internet Security 2007 or Word 200

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



EricG,

Nicely said

I have used Norton products Since Norton Antivirus 5, 2000, 2001 then moved to
corporate versions & never once had a problem with it. Neither have anyone I
know just a few people in the newsgroup with their pyramid reading

If anyone has the money then I would recommend SAVCE over the Home Products

As for poprivet - enough said :)

Hi

For Newbie Coder - sorry I missed your post and thanks for your advice. I
did try permitting winword.exe full access in NIS Firewall but that didn't
stop the error messages. I have since used the Symantec online chat to
resolve the problem which required me to go to NIS Auto Protect and under
Miscellaneous I had to uncheck the box "turn on scanning of Microsoft
Products". This doesn't apparently leave these products unprotected.

For the others that responded
I have used Norton products ever since I bought my first PC and have never
found any problems with their software. I did research other alternatives
but didn't find one that didn't have problems of one sort or another for many
users. I think the biggest problem with any anti-virus/firewall product is
for a lay person to understand their workings to an extent that they can
tailor them to their specific needs without relying on the default settings -
these do not always do the business in some cases.

I am posting this here as I am not sure whether it is a Windows XP problem,
or a problem with NIS 2007 or Word 2002.

I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2007 and have Microsoft Word
2002 and Works 7.

I occasionally check the Log Viewer of Norton Internet Security and have
noticed that I regularly get the following entires under the heading
Symantec
Resourse Protector>Alerts

The entires are always the same, apart from the PID number and are as
follows:

<Date> <Time> Unauthorise Access Logged

Event Details
Actor: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE 10\WINWORD.EXE (PID=168
(different number on each occasion)
Target: \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Common
Client\ccService\Channels\
Action: Unauthorised access
Reaction: Unauthorised access stopped

Can anyone throw any light on this apparent problem. Is there some thing I
can or should do in either NIS2007 or Word 2002 to prevent this apparent
security problem.

Needless to say all my products are always fully updated.
