tCm Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 If you expirience major sluggishness/harddisc activity over the top, when downloading compressed files and getting a message from Norton Anti Virus that µTorre is waiting for a virus check on xxxxx.rar, you will have to disable Auto-Protect.Right click on Norton Auto-Protect icon down at your right. Disable Auto-Protect.Remember that Norton is now not scanning files automaticly. You will have to do this manually.Anyways, your probably better of with another anti virus program.ClamWin is suppose to be a good one. And it's free! /tCm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Its another option u can use so u can be a lil more protected. I dont have it anymore, so bear with me. Im trying to post this from memory.....Its a check box for scan within compressed files or scan within archives in the options. U uncheck one or both of those and u can still use auto protect. If its the compressed file check box, u can still do it manually after downloading.And u right about being better off with something else. I just switched to BitDefender. It caught some nasties Norton missed from a year ago. I even had to manually ignore a certain program cuz BitDefender wouldnt let it run automatically with its on-access scanning.

If its the compressed file check box, u can still do it manually after downloading.You're ofcourse right jroc. There is a check box called "Search in archives", and is prabably lot more safe if you desparatly need to stick with NAV. And u right about being better off with something else. I just switched to BitDefender. It caught some nasties Norton missed from a year ago. I even had to manually ignore a certain program cuz BitDefender wouldnt let it run automatically with its on-access scanning.Sound interesting. I'll check BD out!Also a friend of mine recomended, today, an AV called NOD32. (Hard to pick one when they are so many!)/tCm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
