Norton Anti-Virus 2002 [Help Please]

[G-Dub]

Hi, my computer recently died on me so I had to reformat...

I am running Windows XP Pro, and everything is working fine now, except for Norton Anti-Virus 2002...

Basically the update list within LiveUpdate is corrupted some how and I have tried the tips which Norton recommended (configuring and reinstalling etc) but nothing has worked so far, please help me if you could with any comments, thank you everyone...

I've been having the same problem recently too, for about the past 3 or so days. My computer is down completely tho, the windows/system32/config/system file is gone or corrupted so windows xp can't start, I think it might've had something to do with the norton screw-up. Have you been having any other problems with the computer lately?

Yeah after the format I found that I had the Blaster.Worm in my computer, but that problem has been sorted completely...

I had this problem before.. I had to uninstall, delete all registry entries NAV made, then reinstall. Only then was it fixed. Uninstall alone didn't help, something gets messed up in the registry..

OK, thanks, I will give this a try and let ya know!

Thanks, I did as you said and LiveUpdate is fine now, thank you...

My only issue now is that when I try to defragment my computer, a file somewhere deep in a Symantec folder is corrupted and Diskeeper refuses to defrag... does anyone now how to repair, delete, or get rid of this folder/files as it won't let me...

Again, any ideas greatly received, thanks to everyone who reads this...

Often the reason for not deleting the file is the filename is too long or using invisible characters. In that case, Delete from a command prompt using a mask
Navigate to the directory and use a mask, for example:

If the filename is

dat4808h[}_#IN%(*UV%{)({B)(J{$W)(TJN:JPDOSJP(>>.a482h8[\wr90)*&%_)#%

del dat*.*

will grab this file despite what funkiness is in the name. Just make sure no other files get caught in the mask. You can do a test by..

dir dat*.*
