Re: There are times in life when . . . It appears that Symantec may now have fixed this problem. See »Latest Norton Update: Symantec director , which apparently came out late on Friday evening.
Have any of the NIS/NPF 2002 users that experienced the problem after the 12 May LiveUpdate applied this patch; does it solve the problem?
Next question: Does this fix, primarily for NIS/NPF 2002 users, still provide a solution to the eEYE vulnerabilities that started all this? (Anyone checked using eEYE's Retina scanner?)
And finally, by way of feedback, just what files are changed by this update?

Reston, VA | Sorry, I went out looking for my old LP with "Magical Mystery Tour" on it, . . . but then I realized I don't have a record player, anymore! 
Hmmm, perhaps you could now use a tagline, "I want the LiveUpdate that is not there"? Well, it was just a thought.

| well low and behold, i leave town for a few days and magically Symantec has a live update for the symantec redirector waiting for me to try out.
It appears to have fixed the problems, it stayed up and running for 2 hours with no BSOD's or odd messages. I havent had a chance to see if it has any new problems, I'll review the alert logs to see if it is actually working.
Anyone else having any luck with this LiveUpdate? Any ill effects ?
hopefully it will stay working for the time being
thanks all |

Ehhh?? When did that show up? Over at »sudden slow browsing - CPU flat out , sonofjay on 25 May at 10:51 posted that there were no new LiveUpdates available. At that time, the newest things he had were sndmon.exe and symfw.sys last modified on 23 May (ignoring some NAV updates on that date). You've got something newer?

Could you search for Files Modified between 23 May and now and see if you might find anything that might have come down in this LiveUpdate you just got? (Not just SYM*.* files, might be something named very differently.)

1 edit | I ran LU at 10pm or so CST yesterday the 25th, when i get home from work I can get the specific information, the exact time etc...
the category that was listed with an update was the Symantec Redirector. I'll post all of the info tonite. The update did require a reboot of the machine. I was a bit too tipsy to pay much closer attention last nite. 
[edit] FYI I was running ZAP in conjunction with NPF during this time. I did a bit of browsing through the web pages I used to test it out previously, google, nytimes etc... before the update NPF would freak out by the 3rd page load through IE6 this time it only created the popup warnings about ActiveX in some of the pages like it used to do before May ~12 update.
I dont know if having ZAP operating at the same time made any difference but im kinda wary to let NPF play alone atm. |

Reston, VA | Do you have the same version of symfw.sys this morning or have you now replaced it?
When you right-click on that file in Windows Explorer and then select properties, what do you find for
File Size (in Bytes, not KB)
File Created
File Modified
File Version (on the second tab)
Also, could you give us similar information on SNDMON.EXE?
