In one user profile of my dell I get this error and Norton closes. When I try to reopen it, it just hangs. I have tried reinstalling and it worked for a while but now the issue is back. Two things changed around the same time as the issue started. I setup a new email account in Outlook for Exchange and I loading ACT! CRM. Can anyone help (cause Norton can't... spent hours with them and they could barely understand me... so frustrating).

If you want to avoid having a complete nervous breakdown, get rid of Nortons as it is the very worse garbage in the world. Has been and continues to be garbage.

Can tell you from experience as I like to test antivirus/spyware software, that when you got add/remove, Nortons will leave about 300 plus fragments glued to your files and hidden all over your system. (In some cases this will cause conflict. Sometimes no conflict).

Reboot your system if you do remove and see if you can remove all of the files related to Nortons. Go to =start=run and type in c://program files, left click on browse, left click on program files and look for Symantec and try and delete. May say file is in use and unable to delete. Try start=search for files and type in Nortons and Symantec and see what files can be removed.

If you don't have any conflict don't worry. If you do, go to www.rosecitysoftware and download their, Registry First Aid, software that is not free. During the evaluation period you should be able to remove alot of the fragments.

If you really want an excellent program that I use and the Government of China uses see below.

Being a clinical psychiatrist I have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean from all virus/spyware/malware.

I tested every free and purchase antivirus system known. An I found only one that actually works 100%. Never had a virus or spyware in my system in nine years.

Go to, www.filseclab.com and download thier Twister AntiTrojan Virus program. (You will have to pay a small one time fee). You will never have to pay an annual fee for updates, support or new versions. The one time fee is for life. ($29.99)

The software company is located in Beijing, China. They have excellent support, frequent large signature updates an as always all new versions are free. No annual fee for anything.

Comes with a real time scanner that really works. Actually I am quite amazed over the nine years how well it works.

Scans memory on startup.
Real time scanning in the background.
Open any webpage with an embedded trojan/spyware or malware and scanner will clean on the spot. An It is really removed from your system.

Download any kind of program from zips, all compressed files, software files, music, etc,etc, an if there is a hidden embedded trojan,spyware,malware, this program will stop the download and clean. An will advise you to end the download.

Will even find a virus in the installer wizard, like "Wise Installer". And will stop the installation while it is being installed and clean. Plus this program always will trace back who installed the trojan.

I had a trojan in and wizard installer. Twister caught the trojan and stopped the installation. I wrote the origianl company and told them the wizard installer had an embedded trojan to steal your data. The company now uses thier own installer.

You can't beat this software for a one time purchase fee only. Actually I don't know of any antivirus progam that even comes close to this state of the art technology.

All I can say it is worth the one time fee. Your pc cost alot of money and you don't want it destroyed. Plus your privacy is protected at all times.

There is nothing in it for me to praise this program. I tell it like it is. If it is garbage then I will say so.

Hope the above helps you.

Don't forget to reboot if you decide to remove Nortons.

You need to go to the Norton's website and download some tools to remove the whole software and reinstall it again...

or

You can chat to them and tell them whats going on with the software.

Norton is a crap. So better uninstall it and switch over to AVG or some other freeware antivirus. They are not at all resource hogs at all and are very efficient.
