Skip to main content. Was offered to upgrade to the version of both products by Norton thanks - so had to first download and then install Systemworks first then NIS --It should have been simple - but it took me over 12 hours!
My PC is a few years old - P4 Intel chip - 2. I thought it improved matters, but my PC still continued to occasionally hang and freeze as if the PC was looking for something. My NIS had been giving me slight problems - it reported that an internal file had been corrupted and that I should reinstall - it kept on blocking certain web-sites even though I had updated the "ad-blocking" to override the default pop-up blocker and kept on generating new rules - for example even though I would use IE 7 daily it would occasionally generate a new rule as if that was the first time I had used it - so it was time to upgrade I checked and because I upgraded this weekend I am using the latest Version It does it Multiple times but it seems strange that Norton is reporting this even though it is for information.
I have checked even when I am not using my PC and it is on standby- the same message appears exactly every 10 minutes 5 times — i. I've seen elsewhere here that if you do want to have both installed on the same system you must install NIS first and then when you install NSW you must make a Custom install and omit Norton AntiVirus -- if you don't you will get conflicts. There is terrific support here from Norton Staff -- names in red -- as well as from other users so you should get the help you need.
Would you answer the questions about versions and the 12 hours and then we can decide what next -- almost certainly uninstall and run the Norton Removal Tool to clean up and then reinstall in the way recommended.
Norton just kept on telling me I needed to update. I am on Broadband - so that was not a limiting factor. So I started again completely on Saturday morning. I suggest you do an across all the boards search on [NIS NSW] which will produce messages on this from users and staff.
I'm on my way out in a moment but here is one which states the general position and also brings in version dates:. There are plenty of other messages and you will find different statements about sequence but the critical matter seems to be that NSW which contains NAV must be a custom install with NAV not installed.
Interesting - I had tried to read through the forum previously - but had not read that particular thread in full - there is a bit of conflict within that thread as "Users" no names advocate the install of NIS and then NSW -.
I was not relishing having to uninstall again! So now we can concentrate on the original question:. You will find that varying statements between people here does happen, even between Norton Staff -- it may be serious or it may merely mean that it doesn't matter provided you deal with the aspect that does -- in this case the common item NAV.
On your general question I think you would do best to monitor and post in the thread s? The latest post I've seen in one shows a Norton Staffer trying to identify a continuing problem a user is having respecting "zombies" 9which is another search term you can use in relation to ccSvcHst.
Before posting on the forum I tried to do a search for a comparable problem and if found one I would have added my input into that thread as having duplicate threads running is not wanted on any forum of this nature.
I looked at your suggestion but the reference to "zombie"s - i. Based on this I raised a separate topic thread and hope that a member of Staff will review this and give an answer to the original question:. Plus the other few queries which are detailed more in the original posting above. I would agree about not joining in a NIS problem into a N thread although I would imagine that it is the same ccSvcHst in both cases and perhaps the same triggers.
But when I look at the Rule for "Internet Explorer" there is one rule that seems contrary to what I expect:. I thought that most websites used Port 80 for Internet Traffic. I did modify it to temporarily allow all communications and my Browsing speed increased significantly - but have not modified any other program's see below - but as the rules were all created by NIS wonder if I have misunderstood Yes, in the default mode out of the box, the NIS firewall will create rules as needed for the program.
In your case, Internet Explorer may use many different ports for different types of traffic. In your case, you should see a port 80 in the list after trying to browse to the site.
A couple of questions:. You can check by right clicking on the task bar and click on "Task Manager". If you delete the Internet Explorer again and relaunch it, does the same issue occur? Short summary of port 53 DNS traffic: This basically takes a named address www. Basically almost all programs that access the internet need this.
Your primary concern is that ccSvcHst. Is this correct? What is your operating system? Have you updated it with all of the latest service packs and patches? Did you install the parental control add-on for NIS? If so there is a known problem with this that will cause ccSvcHst. I've not bothered to see if this 'issue' has been fixed but I last tested it about 2 weeks ago - no joy. My bad. This chip appeared about 7 or 8 years ago. My question about your system specifications is more pressing. Older motherboards and components were great in their day bleeding edge in fact but 7 years if a lifetime in IT.
The basic specs for NIS and System Works aren't enormous but I would not bother running either product on minimum spec systems: possible - not fun. It's not that it doesn't work--the antiphishing feature within Norton Internet Security works very well. It's when you turn it off as we did from time to time during our testing , that we found it's harder to turn back on than other antiphishing tools on the market today. And, more ominously, without Norton antiphishing turned on, Norton Transaction Security features remain active, allowing us to provide personal information to various phishing sites.
When we turned off antiphishing protection within the Norton Internet Security , a dialog box stated that the feature will be enabled again after 15 minutes. However, the fine print is that while Norton Internet Security re-enables the antiphishing feature 15 minutes later, your browser does not. You have to restart the browser. Had we forgotten that 15 minutes was up, we might have merrily continued to surf the Web without any antiphishing protection.
McAfee's SiteAdvisor allows you to enable and disable the feature within the browser, avoiding this problem entirely. While Norton Phishing Protection was turned off, we further discovered another, more serious scenario. When Norton Phishing Protection is turned off, the Identity Safe feature remains enabled--in fact, we couldn't figure out how to disable Identity Safe apparently there's no configuration option for it. Shortly after disabling Norton Phishing Protection, we accessed a fraudulent banking site.
Norton, perhaps seeing that it was a banking site, asked if we wanted to use the ID card's personal information to populate the Web form on the page. Suppose we were sleepy; supplying the password would be a mindless click. Suddenly our phishing site is filled in with our personal information. When we contacted Symantec about this issue, we received the e-mail response: "Although we strongly recommend that our customers use the Phishing Protection and Identity Safe features together, we don't penalize users who prefer not to use our toolbar by preventing them from using Identity Safe.
Again, we recommend that our customers use the features together, but we won't limit their choice of toolbars by penalizing customers if they don't use ours. Apparently, that's not a problem for Symantec. Another feature that's important today keeps malware sent via IM from infecting your PC. Norton Internet Security does that, but only if you have Microsoft 6. To test this, we installed Yahoo Instant Messenger 8. Given that both AOL and Yahoo have suffered large-scale attacks in recent months, it's odd that Norton doesn't yet support the latest versions of these.
What Norton Internet Security doesn't include is backup and restore protection or PC maintenance--both of which are provided in the less expensive McAfee Internet Security Symantec did beta test another product this summer, however, Norton Anti-Bot is not available in any of the traditional Norton security products.
As such, Anti-bot is simply not worth it a standalone product. We look forward to Symantec adding PC utilities such as backup and including its antibot technology to next year's release of Norton Internet Security.
On our iTunes test, Norton AntiVirus was in the middle of the pack, just 3 seconds above our test system. For scanning a single folder with files, Norton AntiVirus came in near the middle with seconds.
And in boot speed, Norton AntiVirus came in last place, with a sluggish 40 seconds. In terms of protecting your PC, we cite results from two leading independent antivirus testing organizations.
In the latest test results from AV-Comparatives. For antispyware protection, Norton fell from last year's heights but remained solidly in the middle of the pack in our CNET antispyware tests.
