I have recently purchased and installed Norton Internet Security 2004.
I was previously using Zone Alarm but had no anti-virus software and
thought it was time I got better protected, so thought that a combined
package would cause me less administrative hassle. I am running
Windows 98.
I have disabled the Automatic Live Update but something in the
programs that it sets running on my PC keeps trying to dial out to the
internet. No matter how many times I hit "Cancel" on the dial-up
connecion box, it keeps coming back up. Eventually I let it connect
but I couldn't see where it was trying to get to. After downloading
about 200-300k over the connection, it stopped and I could disconnect
without it complaining. I have had to do this about 2-3 times over the
past couple of days. And no, this is not coming from any spyware - I
have Ad-Aware & Spy Bot and neither found anything to complain about.
I think it may be coming from some component called ccApp which is run
on startup.
I have disabled everything I can find in the configuration options
that is called "Automatic" and removed the (disabled) Live Update task
from the scheduler.
Since installing the product, I seem to be constantly at its demand
and it's taking over my life and my PC. I thought it was supposed to
make my life easier?
Any advice gratefully received.
TIA
