Norton Antivirus users find bug in Windows 2000 version
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 07/06/2000 09:43 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
A glitch with Symantec´s Norton Antivirus software left some Windows 2000 customers with crashed computers last week, the company said.
Windows 2000 computers running Norton Antivirus 2000 unresponsive and in need of a reboot, list user Lance Kujala said in a posting to the NT-Bugtraq mailing list. The software would slow programs "into limbo; eventually the mouse stops responding and the keyboard lights no longer toggle," he said.
Symantec didn´t discover the problem in its testing, but people brought the problem to the company´s attention, antivirus researcher Carey Nachenberg said today. "It is a very real problem. We already have an update posted that will take care of that issue," he said.
