16 Bit Subsystem - Norton AntiVirus
Mar 24, 2005
I bought a new laptop a week ago and it came with Windows XP Home Edition. It also came with Norton AntiVirus already installed on it. I dislike Norton AntiVirus and decided to manually uninstall it. I went into regedit and deleted all Symantec and Norton files. Except for one file it wouldn't let me delete.A few days later (after I had no trouble installing such games as Starcraft, Blockland and Endless-Online) I tried to install The Sims, Lego Creator and some older games onto my computer from CD's. I got this message when attempting to install them

it isn't acting right, but I have been trying to install norton antivirus. She bought the package and has a 2 year subscription, and afterwards we ran live update. It then asks for an activation key, which we have from the email sent to her. When we click OK to tell it that we want to put it in, it does nothing. No matter how long you wait or how many times you click OK, the box just sits there. For this reason, we cant update her virus definitions or get norton to protect her computer. norton is not the only button that will not respond. Somehow the viewpoint toolbar was installed on her computer. When we try to uninstall the viewpoint toolbar or if I go to add/remove programs and try to uninstall it from there, it brings up a box that asks are you sure you want to uninstall viewpoint It does the same as the norton box; it will not respond, even if I click yes and wait

I am running a Dell PIII 800 mhz, with 80 G hard drive and XP SP 2. I recently downloaded a program from Handango.com for my wife's PDA called "Body Pro Desktop 2005". Soon after installing this program, the following problems occurred:
1. Norton Antivirus 2006 crashed.
2. Body Pro would not run.
3. Cannot reinstall Norton Antivirus.
4. Cannot download updates for my Spybot S&D (bad checksum error).

Me and my friend were trying to set up our laptop so that it could play some mpeg file I made to memorialize someone. It had Windows Media Player, so all was fine, and there were some issues regarding settingit up to play in a digital projector. But every 20 seconds, an urgent reminder kept appearing about how I need to update my Norton Antivirus file. Every 20 seconds! Because of that, there was a chance that would appear every 20 seconds during the presentation, so uninstalled the Norton Antivirus software. After all, my friend did not purchase this or even download it for free- it came with the Compaq.

I'm going to try a system restore and I need to close all open programs. Does this mean I need to close Norton Antivirus, Spybot and Ad-Aware too? What about programs that run in the background that you don't see? I've never worried about this when installing software--just left them running--but I don't want to mess up with system restore. I have lots of disc space and plenty of memory, if this makes any difference.

I am working on a friends laptop, a Dell Inspiron 9200 running Windows XP Pro with SP3. I have it working well now except the USB ports do not work.The laptop was in pretty bad shape when I started. I remove Norton Antivirus (subscription expired 3 years ago), removed a few trojans and viruses using Malwarebytes and Combofix, and installed AVG Free. I also cleaned up the temp files, compacted the registry using NTRegOpt, and defragmented the drive.I have tried uninstalling the USB controllers and let Windows reinstall them, verified working status in Device manager, and disabled USB device power management. I also plugged in a USB mouse and verified the ports are supplying power.

I just reformatted my computer to solve the problem, installed Norton Anti-virus 2005, and defragmented it after all the windows update stuff was installed

My Norton firewall is about to expire and I wanted to know if there was a more 'gamer' friendly firewall out there. Norton has caused me an endless stream of problems with my games since I got the damn thing and I would love to know if someone has better experience with a better firewall/antivirus.

After installing Norton AntiVirus 2007 I received the following message when I opened the security center in the control panel; The Security Center is currently unavailable because the "Security Center" service has not started or was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the "Security Center" service), and then open the Security Center again. I have naturally restarted the computer but that didn't fix the problem. I don't know that the problem is connected to the installation of Norton 2007, (upgraded from 2005), but the Security Center was available before the installation.

I installed Window XP upgrade and didn't realize that it would disable my Norton antivirus 2004. After installation, Windows informed me that Norton would have to be reinstalled. I tried reinstalling it, but couldn't until the disabled one was uninstalled. When I tried to uninstall it, there were some files that the uninstall program couldn't find, so the uninstall failed. I need to know how I can get the disabled one off my system so that I can reinstall Norton again.

Computer (sony-vaio desktop, turning 4 yrs old next month): Windows XP Home SP 2, IE7 and latest version of Firefox, Norton AntiVirus 2003 (I mention my AV software in case any of your solutions may conflict with it).My index.dat file under Content IE5 (which in turn is in the Temporary Internet Files folder) is bloated. I believe there are several Internet Explorer dat.files around besides the one mentioned. I ran ATF Cleaner, but it does not clean index.dat files. I was told NOT to run ccleaner, as it is said to be aggressive and can destroy computers. I do NOT want to do anything with the registry by the way, only clean out the index.dat files.
Since the index.dat files are protected by the systems, I can't get at them manually. I don't even know where the remaining index.dat files (ONLY for Internet Explorer) are located.

I know somewhere this has been answered. Unfortunately, I can't find the solution and I'm at my wits end.When I boot my computer (just started about a week ago) I get the following 3 messages: 1 Title of boxed message is 16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem:
A. Inside this box it says C:Docume~1MikeSt~1Locals~1Tempvcrxfile.exe.The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. Choose close to terminate the application.
B. I close it and then I get another similar message with after Tempmssjfile.exe. I close this application and get a third message.
c. After Tempsylgfile.exe. I close this application and the computer is fine and working okay.I've tracked the files to be located in my Temp folder %temp%, and I can delete them, but once I reboot the computer, the automatically come back. I've tried even in safe mode, but no success.I havn't loaded any new programs, but like I said it just started after downloading some Microsoft updates.
