[dba-Tech] [dba-OT] Norton Antivirus Activation

Hi John

Not to be seen. It runs our test MSDE and MySQL servers.
Also antivirus ClamWin and antispyware Search & Destroy.

It ran for ten days or so, then something needed adjusting and when it should reboot, crash. It offered to upload a xx MB memory dump which we refused.
With a ten day or so cycle it could take forever to debug what was happening, so we decided to uninstall it as it really takes something (except for malfunctioning hardware) to crash a Win2000 machine.

Gustav,
Was there any indication of conflict with another program? Anti-virus,
firewall, etc.?

Hi John

We ran the Keria firewall a month ago on a Win2000 workstation.
Bad experience, sorry. 
It's the first application we've seen truly crash a Win2000 machine.
Standard IBM hardware, all servicepacks installed.
We picked the safe route and applied a hardware firewall.
