How to save an MSI log file to troubleshoot install
issues
-------------------------------------------------
If Norton AntiVirus fails to install, we recommend saving
the NAV.LOG file that is generated by default during
your installation of Norton AntiVirus. This will help the
Symantec Support Team to resolve your issue faster.
To locate this log file:
1. Click on "Start > Run."
2. Type the following command "%windir%\temp".
3. This should automatically launch the Windows
temporary directory.
4. Find a file called "NAV.log."
Uninstalling Norton AntiVirus from Add/Remove
Programs
-------------------------------------------------
To uninstall Norton AntiVirus
Click "Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs."
Select "Norton AntiVirus"
Depending on your operating system, select one of the
following choices
a. On Windows 98/98SE/ME
Click the Add/Remove button and select the "Remove"
option to uninstall Norton AntiVirus.
b. On Windows 2000
You will see two buttons, Change and Remove. The
Remove button cannot be selected and will be grey.
Click on the "Change" button and select the "Remove"
option to uninstall Norton AntiVirus.
c. On Windows XP
You will see one button, Change.
Click on the "Change" button and select the "Remove"
option to uninstall Norton AntiVirus.
Sending outgoing email can be slower within Outlook
Express or Outlook under Windows 2000
---------------------------------------------------
There is a known Microsoft issue with Windows 2000,
Outlook Express and Outlook, (SMTP) email will send
slower with Norton AntiVirus email protection enabled.
Microsoft has resolved this issue and a hot fix that
can be downloaded from the following website:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles
/Q294/7/69.ASP
Creating new user profiles after installing
Norton AntiVirus on Windows 98/98SE
--------------------------------------------------
Creating a new user account(s) after installing Norton
AntiVirus may generate errors when accessing the
following features "Scan for Virus" and "Options."
To correct this issue
1. Locate the Windows directory installed on your
machine. (If you have not customized any settings,
this should be located at C:\Windows during a
default installation of your operating system.)
2. Browse to the following folder in your windows
directory:
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Symantec
3. Copy the entire "Symantec" folder from
"c:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Symantec"
to C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\
Symantec"
Norton AntiVirus Toolbar integration with
Windows Explorer
--------------------------------------------------
Norton AntiVirus automatically adds a toolbar button
to the first Microsoft browser launched after
installation. Other Microsoft browsers can be
manually added by right-clicking the Explorer toolbar
and selecting Norton AntiVirus.
Please note: There is a known Microsoft bug the
Norton AntiVirus can show up as a duplicate menu item.
This is documented in the following Microsoft
knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles
/Q231/6/21.ASP
Network Associates PGP compatibility issue
------------------------------------------
Network Associate's PGP encrypts the boot record,
preventing Norton AntiVirus from scanning them for
viruses.
Digitally signing emails in Outlook Express 6.x and
Office XP
---------------------------------------------------
Outlook Express 6.x offers the ability to digitally sign
emails to ensure that they are not modified during
transfer. Norton AntiVirus email protection will modify
the emails during virus repair. This will create an
Outlook alert stating the message has been modified.
Incompatibility with Office 2000 & Outlook XP and
the Norton AntiVirus Plug-in on Windows 98
--------------------------------------------------------
Office 2000 will cause a hang when inserting infected
documents on Windows 98. Outlook XP will cause a
hang when creating a new email on Windows 98. This
is resolved by upgrading the DCOM version to version
1.3 or later. This upgrade can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/com/
Auto-Protect (NAVAPW32.EXE, NAVAP.VxD, and SYMEVNT.386)
-------------------------------------------------------
Auto-Protect and Inoculation ignore disk label
(volume label) changes to prevent false virus alerts.
Viruses cannot use the disk label to infect your system.
For the same reason, changes to the OEM ID in a boot
record are not reported.
By design, Auto-Protect does not report writes to a boot
sector or master boot record if the new sector is
identical to the one previously on the drive. For
example, you may use a disk editor to write back the
same data to a boot sector or master boot record.
Disable Auto-Protect temporarily before you save the
file.
Dynamic Volumes on Windows 2000 and XP
--------------------------------------
Norton AntiVirus does not fully support Dynamic Volumes.
Scanning these drives may result in the error message
"Unable to read boot record on drive." This is because
these drives are not bootable. However, Norton AntiVirus
will scan the drive for infected files.
MO drive incompatibility with Norton AntiVirus
----------------------------------------------
When Norton AntiVirus scans certain MO drives such as
the Olympus Turbo MO 640S III, you may experience a
system crash when scanning your hard drive. To correct
the problem you are required to Disable Int 13 support
for the drive.
To disable Int 13 support:
1. Click "Start >Settings >Control Panel."
2. Double-click on the System icon.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click "Device
Manager."
4. Ensure "View devices by type" is selected.
5. In the device list, expand Disk drives.
6. Double-click the disk drive item defining your MO
drive. (For example, OLYMPUS MOS364)
7. Click the Settings tab.
8. On the Settings panel, uncheck the box next to
Int 13 unit. (This disables Int 13 support for the
drive)
9. Click "OK" to close the MO drive's Property Settings
dialog.
10. Click "OK" to close the System Properties dialog.
11. Click "Yes" when prompted to restart your computer.
Updating Windows 98/Millennium video drivers for
Auto-Protect
------------------------------------------------
Some video drivers for Windows 98/Millennium may
cause display corruption or an apparent system lock up
when an Auto-Protect alert is generated. To correct the
problem, upgrade to the latest version of the video
driver.
Using Norton AntiVirus with directory symbolic
links/NTFS junctions
----------------------------------------------
Using directory symbolic links, also known as NTFS
junctions, on Windows 2000 or Windows XP
machines may increase hard drive scanning times due
to repeated scanning.
