OT OT OT Norton Symantec prob.
I'm downloading a paid for update to my Mac, running OS X and for at least 5
hours it's been telling me it has one minute to run on Installing Symantec Shared Frameworks. Does anyone know what on earth is going on here and what I should do to solve the problem? I don't even know what it is! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

I'm sorry to hear about your installation troubles. You are more patient than I would be under the circumstances! Could you force 'Quit', then do an 'Uninstall' and try again? You've probably checked this already, but all I could find was this troubleshooting page on the Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...00011711183348 Perhaps, if you enter the exact OS X version you are using and the particular upgrade you are trying to install, you would find there is a compatibility problem and suggested solution. Have you tried either of these sites? www.macintouch.com/ www.macfixit.com/ Good luck, Kristina (waiting for our son-in-law to arrive next week and update all our Macs) www.spanglefish.com/Old Orchard/ |

It helps stop phising, spyware and other unauthorised invasions of your computer." Anyway, that's what it says on the tin! Have you a Firewall stopping the installation of Symantec? MikeCT |

Sacha, there are known huge problems running Symantec on a Mac, and so far no known viruses on a Mac. If you Google Groups on the comp.sys.mac.apps newsgroup you will find lots of threads about this. I suggest you remove the application! -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |

How do I find that out and wouldn't it tell me so? If I have, it would be its own, I would think. sighhhhh. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
