another norton bug Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator       IP Information

recieved a mail in one of the lists which staes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Symantec NAV 7.6 Corporate Edition has a MAJOR fault when running on XP.
It simply will NOT scan floppies on the fly (even with the most
restrictive settings enabled) This is a bug that has been confirmed by
Symantec (after 3 months of sitting on their bum doing absolutely NOTHING
about it)

I still haven't seen a solution - other than dumping the product yet.

Below are snippets from actual Symantec tech support e-mails.

"With 7.61 on the XP Pro machine (your Vectra) we did not catch the virus
at the floppy, however we did catch it when we burned it to CD.

I tested with 7.61 build 45 on XP PRO.. not your machine.. we did not
catch the virus at the floppy.
I tested the 8.01 on a machine that wasn't yours as well and it worked as
designed.

I am thinking at this point there could be a couple of things happening.
1)XP PRO does something between NAV 7.6x and the floppy
2) XP PRO does something to Nav 7.6x "

I think they should advertise this widely but.....

It happens to me all the time.
SOmetimes when mail servers get busy they tend to 'bounce' the mail as undeliverable.
I even get those ezlm-list owner warnings from time to time.

Their email system is stupid as hell anyway...they need to completly redo the system, signing up, unsubscribing, subscription management....the works.

It is still nice to keep up with security releases.
But it is now owned by symentec.
Point made.
