Symantec Antivirus Status Unknown
Dec 26, 2005
I am having this problem for sometime now.I running XP pro SP2. I use Symantec Antivirus ver 9.0.0.338. Everytime I start windows, the windows security Alert comes up with the alert to check my AV. I have my AV up to date but still I am asked to check it all the time by windows security alert. In the recommendations tab,It states Symantec Antivirus reports that it is installed but its status is unknown. The 2 options it gives are :Make sure your antivirus is up to date and turned on or get another Antivirus.

I am using Symantec Ghost Enterprise Edition 8.0 to create an image that I can use to clone about 100 computers. All the computers have the exact same hardware configuration. I have used SysPrep to erase the licensing so that the user can type the license number from the sticker on their PC, and their user name. The problem arises when some of the computers locks up after the restoration, and on the first boot. After pressing the Reset button, it boots up, and asks for the license agrrement
When you finish with the license agreement part of the boot process, it then asks some users about the VGA, and NIC drivers. The problem is that not all the users gets asked about the NIC, and VGA drivers. Some of the users do not get asked these driver questions, but the screen resolution changes. Please remember that all the hardware are exactly the same, and they all have the same BIOS and firmware version.

to start with I was using TeamViewer to remotely install symantec client 9.0 on my. Papa's laptop -winXP. The AV successfully installed and then the issue started when it was updating itself. all of a sudden the machine hanged .. never to recover! When hard booted the machine booted up but the start button nevr came and all the desktop apps were just small boxes! Recovery Steps that i took: I booted the machine in the safe mode and tried to uninstall the symantec but the windows installer does not run in safe mode !!
tried to follow a tutorial on the web to create a registry entry : To create a Registry entry, open command prompt ( Run->Cmd). Type the following command in the Window- REG ADD HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSafeBootMinimalMSIServer/VE/TREG_SZ/F/D %Service%. then "net start msiserver" to start the windows installer to install/uninstall app in safe mode. unfortunately it din workout i still get error 1084 “the service cannot be started in the safe mode”.

I have been having an ongoing problem in being able to install programs (diskeeper and Symantec) after I have downloaded them. Their advice to me has been to double click the "Event Log" in my Services list and set it to automatic. I have just realized that the title, "Event Log" does not exist in my list and I think that may be my problem. Recently, I upgraded my Windows XP Pro from a pirated version by paying for and installing the Genuine Windows XP Pro version. I had then installed SP2. I wonder if in all of this I have lost the Event Log heading and if anyone can tell me how I can get it back.

When me and my wife moved in with her parents to help take care of her father.When he passed I was givin his computer wich was left on and password protected.What I did was create another user account as an administrater and demoted him to just a user figuring that would allow me to remove his password.I forgot to bump him back up to administrator before I deleted the other user and now I am stuck with only 1 account and it has no administrator rights.I do not have the windows XP disk either =/ I would like to change the account back to administrator and retain the files as well.

On some websites I get an error message which shows up in the status bar.it is an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle. When this happens, I can't access the website. I have tried several suggestions from Microsoft, but I just seem to trade one problem for another. This first showed up when I "upgraded" to SP2.

I have been referred to MSN as a source of help for this problem. Although I am an AOL subscriber, I access MSN Messenger, and the MSN Gaming Zone daily. My PC uses Windows XP, and for the past few days I have have been booted from both MSN areas, after a short time of usage. Then I am also booted from AOL. Upon sign on, a warning comes up saying that I have limited or no connectivity to my local area connection. I was told by AOL NOT to disable this, as it may also disable my connection to AOL.

It seems my HDD doesn't seem to be on according to System Restore under status. Device Manager also comes up with nothing, however my GFX card seems to be working even though it is not being detected. I can access all the files in my HDD too. I have no other HDD plugged in or CD Drives in (the CD drive worked when it was in). Also, the bars and such seem to be in the Windows 98 style not XP, as if it was in safe mode. I have looked at the msconfig and it is on normal start up however it is not working. I also cannot change the computers name, etc.I have tried to reinstall Windows but it comes up "0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000". I have googled this and things have come up but they do not suite my situation as I only have 1 HDD (And yes it is plugged in properly as well as the CD drive).I would also like to ask if a HDD should be the Master IDE or whether the CD drive should be.

this has been an issue on my laptop for awhile and I guess only now am I getting around to figuring it out.Whenever I try to auto sync the time on my computer, no matter which server I choose from the drop down bar, it gives me An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. The RPC server is unavailable.
This is a home computer, and has been an issue connecting from several places on several networks. I tried turning the firewall off but that didn't do it.
I read up a little on various forums about this problem, and from what I could pick out that I could understand (I'd say I'm somewhere between Beginner and Intermediately computer savvy) there have been issues with Windows Time in the Services menu. I went into there to check that out (it was my first time in the Services menu) and lo and behold, no Windows Time on the list. Several other Windows XXXXX, but no Windows Time.?

I have been suffering through a weird phenomenon lately. Whenever I go to IE the first time of any boot or reboot, it "hangs" after filling up the status bar for several minutes, then releases and all is well. (NOTE: I don't think this is IE-specific. It has happened booting apps, but I notice it most with IE as I use it extensively.) When things seem to lock up, EVERYTHING is locked up. I can't even bring up Task Manager, none of the icons in the Task Bar are active, etc. Sometimes I can Tab through other apps that are open, sometimes not, but when I can, the app is "frozen" until whatever is going on finishes. During this time, I can watch the process light (I have a Dell D600 laptop) going nuts. Before and after this event, I have run the system through the latest updates of utilities such as Ad-Aware Plus, Ad-Watch, PestPatrol, Symantec Antivirus, Ace Utilities, RegSeeker, etc., and none of them sends up a flag that anything is wrong.
My machine is always up-to-date via Windows Update feature, so I don't know what is causing this. I had the bright idea to reinstall XP SP2, but can't. Every time I try, it quits, giving me nothing more than a smal window with a red X in it and the notification that the install has been cancelled. I ordered the free XPSP2 CD just to see if that would make any difference, but I get the same error. I suspect I could attempt a slipstream install, but I don't want to go through all that if anyone out there recognizes this problem and knows what the solution is outside of doing a slipstream reinstall of SP2. Finally, I have several times done System Restores going back as far as I can, but while they have been successful (although I usually have to do the restore in Safe Mode as they will often fail otherwise), it has made no difference related to this problem.

Everytime I seem to connect to the internet my computer freezes and I have to restart (physically press the reset button) my computer. I am using windows xp. At times the following message appears "C Windows/system 32/lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code 1073741819 system will now shut down and restart" I dont know if the freezing and restarting are linked faults. I have run several antivirus software and Ad-aware but the problem still persists.

I am trying to decide to use either Grisoft's AVG AntiVirus (Free version) or
AVAST AntiVirus. Which of these two are better?
I had Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional on my system, but Symantec refuses
to reactivate it. I had a computer replaced (case/power supply, motherboard,
and UPS) due to a lightning strike and now I cannot reactivate or use Norton
AntiVirus 2004.

Occasionally, as with this file, when I Google it or look for info elsewhere, I can find NOTHING. I mean, "no matches meet your search criteria." This one is: ost1f144.exe. Anyone out there know what this little bad boy is? It's shown as being in WindowsSystem32. Think I'll uncheck it for the time being.
