215915 2004-02-18 02:55:00 Hi Guys
Forgive me for joining the piece so late....
I run XP Pro and O/E 6 - all latest updates, etc.
Some time ago I deleted any ref to Nortons - I thought.
However, on odd occasions I get a small box reading as follows:
""Please enter your user name and password for the following server.... Logon Server: 127.0.0.1 User name:.... Passwd:.....''

Reading above re the 127.0.0.1..
**This is from memory, but if Norton has intervened, the "Incoming Mail" will say something like 127.0.0.1 whereas it should point to your ISP**
It looks as though I too have a remnant of Nortons. I watch with interest.

I did get some feedback from Symantec and some time ago whereby I went into the registry and removed any remenants of their code, in truth I found non.

I think we are on the right track, Norton did somethimg to Outlook, but what is stange is that I couldn't fix it by uninstalling then reinstalling MS Office/Outlook which I did 3 time.

215917 2004-02-18 05:59:00 I know you say taht the server settings and etc are all good but...........have you tried DISabling the norton email scan ? drcspy (146)
215918 2004-02-18 08:34:00 I mentioned that I had totally uninstalled Norton (System Works 2003). And no difference. I ran like this for over 3 weeks until recent virus scares. ihugs virus scan has been excellent, 100%, in the last few months.


However, recently I reinstalled NSW again, only installing the Virus protection module. I did try the disable in each, then both (in and out), to no avail

215919 2004-02-18 09:12:00 Hi. Nortons is prone to leaving buried settings in your system even after it is un-installed. By their nature antivirus and firewalls have fingers in a lot of system pies and sometimes leave dirt behind. have you tried WTF's fix yet? or a registry cleaner? a program that finds stray un-associated files wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Good luck

How about you pop back and read the original post a couple of times - this is like the third time someones had to point this out to you.

We seem to have not been able to resolve this, I will try the firewall thing soon and if still NFG will try again
