Problem with Norton ANTIVIRUS 1 Attachment(s) Hi there i got a little problem with limewire when my limewire connects to the network a windows pops up from norton antivirus that "u have started a progrom such as file sharing or instant messaging select permit if you want to continue using that program or deny to stop using it". when i click on permit the norton window pops up again and again and if i click on deny same thing happens can anyone tell me what to do. THANKYOU:) |
What version antivirus? I'm using 2004, and it peacably coexists with Limewire (only appearing if it's catching a critter). This isn't something like personal firewall? I have McAfee, and it warns about the increased possiblity of downloading a nasty. However, it does it much less dramatically :) |
Nortons Antivirus Manunz I think you may be using Norton AV 2005, which is the same as I use. There are two things I would suggest you do: 1) Update and then run a full anti-virus scan, this will catch and delete anything (virus, Trojan, worm) that has sneaked onto your PC. 2) If you do not have a firewall then get Norton Personal Firewall 2005, not the easiest of firewalls but it will integrate seamlessly with your anti-virus software and give that extra protection all broadband users should have. Although not a full suggestion, you should also get PeerGuardian 2 (free) which blocks various computer companies (domestic and foreign), local authorities, etc., on the IP level from sneaking into your PC via port 6346.

Manunz I think you have missed an essential point I was making in my first post, although it's my fault for not putting enough emphasis on it: Quote:

1 Attachment(s) manunz NAV 2005 has a feature called Threat detection what is happening is what ukbobboy01 is saying NAV is detecting that you are being probed you should take his advice. |
Does anyone know where I can download a good and free firewall software? I have microsoft's firewall, but I can imagine that it isn't good. |
