Im gradually working through N360 and have come across a few little issues;

Norton insight;

Norton classes wlkeeper.exe as not to be trusted !

Wrong, this is related to my Intel(R) PRO Network wireless card. WLKeeper.exe is a process associated with a wireless lan application from Intel.

Norton classes msacore.exe as not to be trusted.

Wrong,this is Mcafee Site Advisor.

Norton classes stsystra.exe as not to be trusted.

Wrong this is my Sound card driver.

I know some of the exe files can be disguised as malware,but not on this machine...its clean.


No matter what configuration im trying with Firefox,it now opens to the blank page and not my home page...only since N360 installation.

Firefox is configured correctly to show my Homepage.

No problems i know of with IE7...yet !


Regarding the Registry Cleanup....unless im missing something,im really not happy.
No prompt to create the reg backup,or even a system restore point.
(from experience,i manually create my backup)
Wont shout to loud ..just in case ive missed something.

Registry cleaner with no backup....what ever next...---...ok im shouting now !

Flags a tracking cookie with the virus scanner,but gives no details of the tracking cookie !


The virus and spyware definitions database is currently at 37876 at 18.35pm 12/01/09 fully updated,this seems a very low defintions database,unless variants are compacted.

Firewall so far seems good but have not added any of my own configurations....maybe i wont need to.


My biggest gripe so far is the lack of a reg backup and N360 Insight, wrongly flagging system processses.

These processes are common and though can be disguised/renamed as Malware.....N360 is being over cautious with false positives.

Just to add;

last update was 19 hours ago,just carried out a manual update and N360 says all definitions are upto date.

Now i thought that would have been added to within this time.

N360 backup

As a trial experiment i decided to backup to C: (main drive).
The backup is apparently carried out ok and verified,when trying to open the backup to explore the contents...windows crash's briefly.

Though going through N360 and backup/restore files...it justs hangs and has to be shut down manually.Though the files can be viewed through file types....but wont restore.

Looks like a few teething problems at the moment.

It gets better now;

Back to Insight;

This is just hilarious,Firefox is classed as not trusted click here and thats Firefox version 3.0.5

Is Symantec geared towards IE only ?

The more im using this N360,the more i stand by my old ways regarding Symantec products.

So far in my opinion,the best thing to come from Symantec to date is the Norton Labs UAC tool for Vista.

I totally understand its a Beta product,but if the basics and fundamental understanding is not there...what real hope does Symantec have in a very competitive market.

I have noticed that it appears not to be updating. The main page says last update 21 hours ago but it has just done a background update, and I have forced an update. It still says last one 21 hours ago.
