Vitae Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 With 406 I got exactly one request from Norton Antivirus 2006 about permit or deny.I downloaded 413 and i was getting a request a second!Eventually i just deleted it and redownloaded 406. and had no problem again.What's the deal? something to do with the new peer stuff?EDIT:And before anyone bitches, YES i read the FAQs:Norton Anti-virus keeps prompting me to permit or block µTorrent!Norton Anti-virus will continually prompt you to permit or block µTorrent regardless of if you hit Permit or Block. This is caused by NAV's Worm Protection (which is useless and only causes problems). The solution is to turn off the Worm Protection-- it doesn't actually protect you from anything. A better solution is to use an anti-virus that isn't so easily foiled; NAV's "protection" is easily broken by most modern worms and viruses. NOD32, Kaspersky, PC-cillin, and AVG are better solutions.MY question is that with 406 I only got *ONE* request and never got another one. Yet with 413 I get spammed with them. What was changed that broke it like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 permit or deny? you mean if µTorrent should allow to use the internet?Sounds wierd, must be a Norton Antivirus 2006 bug,because a new request about permit or deny should only happen if a program has been changed/modified.

Firon Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 It spazzes out when you upgrade to a new version. Just turn it off, it's worthless anyay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitae Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 but i'd also used versions before 406 and i never had it ask me more than once.So why would a "new version" suddenly act up.And boo, it's hardly a bug in 2006 as I put in my 1st note with the actual FAQ mention in there.

Firon Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 This has happened to (some?) people before on various versions, µTorrent hasn't changed anything in regards to that.Just dump it, it does nothing useful, and if you wanted security, Norton is not the way to go.

boo Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 If you want to buy one, try NOD32 or Kaspersky.If you want a free version, try Avast or ClamWin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 For the constant Norton prompting, try manually removing the latest uT from Norton and manually put it back in the allowed programs section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
