You should always disable your AV when you're installing something to avoid a corrupt install.

There are five icons next to my clock, none of which are what you described. I'm not sure if the guy who sold me the computer installed the disc that has my Norton anti-virus or not? It's not listed on my programs menu. Elmo

Are you sure it is Norton and not McAfee? Should be listed in your programs after you click on the start to pull up the menus.
elmoemerson@webtv.net - 25 Apr 2004 16:11 GMT That's probably why I got a virus within 30 minutes after going on-line 6 months ago. Guess the guy I got the computer from set up every other program but the Norton disc. Since I have no AV icon at the bottom right and because I don't see Norton listed on the menu for programs, is it safe to assume there's Norton isn't turned on? Should I finish setting up my printer before running the Norton disc? Elmo

Russ - 25 Apr 2004 18:44 GMT Are you sure an anti-virus is installed???? If not go ahead and install your printer. Take a look at your "control panel", there is an icon there to "Add or Remove Programs". Scroll through that for info on whats been installed.

I thought you said earlier you didn't' have the norton disc. I did go out and buy one back in 2000, but the system doesn't really recognize it the way the one that came with the set up does. i used it on my old puter to replace mcafee
I don't have a norton disk. it is on my system restore or other discs that came with my puter.

Like I said, back when Peter Norton was in charge, it was a good program and his desktop for Win 3x was pretty groovy too. Now it's symantec just squeezing as much money out of the name that they can.

Other Internet providers may have something similar.

Russ - 25 Apr 2004 22:40 GMT wow, you're ready to hit the road eh?
A lot of spam gets in your inbox and it won't even have your name or email addy. It's easy to look at the list in your inbox. If it don't have your name or address on it, sh.t can it. Like you said, you know who you have given out your email too. I use filters to weed out any email that DOES NOT have my name on it. Those are killed at the ISP servers.
I always keep a throwaway address like yahoo.com if I need to register to get into some site. I sure never used my real address. I use a email forwarding service with my domain www.tannersacre.com so I can change the username anytime. Plus if I move I'll always have the tannersacre.com address as I can redirect my email anywhere I want. It's only 30 bucks a year.
To be truthful, I only had one bad incident, rather funny one, with my computer and malware.
About 3 years ago I was living with this gal, well she got off on porn. My self being a "hands on" guy don't really get into that. But we were feeling frisky and off on the computer we went looking for nasty pics, hahaha.... Well I wasn't paying close attention, I thought I was downloading a video, instead I installed some "please pay with credit card" to continue bullshit. No way, so I uninstalled it. Up pops this message window in German, of course I haven't a clue, clicked Da, and my puter freezes..
I reboot and she's dead man. What ever I installed wiped both of my hard drives. Boot sectors, everything. Most of my stuff I keep backed up on cd's so it wasn't to horrible, just a pain in the a.s to reinstall everything. So much for looking at porn, I told her to get her own f.cking computer!!!! Nobody uses my machine but me.
I don't install NOTHING free from the internet. Programs like Kaza that install bullshit popup ads that come out of the blue... Kids are the worst, they will trash a computer downloading crapware in a hurry. I quit working on friends computers. Always some virus or malware f.cking things up and me spending hours cleaning up some machine for free. Maybe if I charge a $100 they will quit calling me.
When you get to Branson and if you decide to get broadband, get a DSL/cable router with hardware firewall. They are nice though I prefer the Linksys brand over the US Robotics.
I run windows 2000 sp4 with Norton AV 2002, DSL through a US Robotics wireless router. I leave my computer on 24/7 and I never have any problems except for the above incident, which was my own damn fault.
shot 43 down the hatch, yum,yum..... 5 more to go.....

A couple of the guys got to find out how intolerant the NOPD can be. Another guy picked up one of the dancers in a bar, took her home for some fun only to find out the gal had a penis. My best friend got 'bounced' pretty good when he tried to grab the girl swinging in and out of the window at that club on Bourbon St. It was a 5 day drunk. Coming home from NO, a group of us in a VW microbus were driving thru Mississippi late at night. Someone asked if we were driving uphill or downhill. We stopped the microbus right in the middle of the highway, got out and we all took a leak to see which way the urine ran. That way we knew we were going uphill. ahahahahahahaha Elmo ///////////// haha, hey you have a great trip. "Nude Orleans" eh?? I went to the Mardi Gras in 1976.

General rule: gonna install some software? Disable your AV. If you think what you're installing might have a virus, check it before installing it.
Recently, MS put some new critical updates on their Windows Update site. Thousands downloaded and installed it automatically with their AV file scan enabled and now are trying to sort out the fact that their Outlook Express/Outlook doesn't work anymore.

I am sorry but if hardware can be plug and play, software ought to as well. lucky

What Alias is telling you is correct. I am not certain how AV programs work, but if they see something they have a problem with it seems to me that they will discard some of the program if not all of it. So all the features will not work with one another. After you load the software, the AV and the fire walls will run their search for whatever and you can then ok their use so every one is a happy camper. hoof

It's the AV programs that don't know they shouldn't be checking every file. Blame them. Windows does fine without them :-) Meanwhile, being as neither you nor I can have any substantial effect on any of those companies, we can learn how to deal with it or give up computing.
Course it does provide thousands of techs all over the world with clients who need to get into their Outlook Express and, of course, don't have it backed up.

And Sure the AV companies ought to work together with the product comnpoanies to see that this does nt happen. But I am stumped a bit, what is the AV looking for and why would they corrupt anything?
I just installed Linux. Which is a hoot and a hollar. Elmo probally has XP home edition.
Heard about techs being all over the world. Used to be a lot more of them here in US.

HP printers aren't too bad. Just don't ever buy their computers. I believe you can get a syringe type ink kit for them too.
Never thought you'd be considering syringes again, eh?

If you didn't then there isn't one there and if you did then what is it called?
I suspect you haven't got one and so you don't need to turn it off.
Your windows manager should tell you what processes are running.
If you need a free AV then http://www.grisoft.com is the place.
Please don't bother w
