Firend has just bought and installed this.....the 2004 suite i think he called it ?

phoned me to say whats it doing.....pc will now not run a single .exe file from a menu / icon....

but if he double clicks on a word doc for eg its runs up word !!!

also it will not let him uninstall the norton as it says summat about cant run .exe files ?

he's stuck.

i've not actually seen the pc doing this....just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.....

Jack C maybe ???????????? Anyone !

if it's like McAfee V8 you'll find it has a file type blocker that stops executables running... you need to find the security setting that blocks those files and get rid.

Wonderful default setting that....

Steve Perriam

and where will he find these settings ??

Open NAV up and go into options

kbsub

just been in there and cant find anything

kbsub

try going into control panel . add /remove programs see if it will uninstall from there

Best get onto Symantec support. Sounds like they've changed a registry setting somewhere. Not easy to find manually, chances are you're not alone.
