What the hell? A supervirus or just Norton being dumb? by .blade// on 06-19-2005 at 02:36 AM
Ok, everything was fine this morning, I left for the day, then I got back on just now to find Norton saying "Tampered", then after like 30 seconds it goes back to normal...what the?

if your running either version 2004 or 2005, it has a built in protection which will repair any damaged files if a virus has messed with them

Norton 2004 Product Line is A LOT more sensitive to this due to changes that Windows XP Service Pack 2 makes. The WMI Patch that it installs for compatability may improve it a bit, but the problem is still MUCH more common on the 2004 product line.
If you're using a 2005 product, chances are Norton just malfunctioned once or twice or a program tried modifying a Norton file.
Norton is good software. But all software has bugs 
, so you can understand that, cant you Patchou? Renew your license. </symantec whore>
