Conflicts with Norton Internet Security Professional

Monday, March 11, 2002 by Alex Watson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Since installing Windowblinds, Internet Security Proffessional crases when I am browising the web (Iamapp error in kernel32.dll)and I am forced to shut down and restart. If I unload Windowblinds prior to connecting to the internet all is OK. Has anyone else experienced this problem and more importantly do you have a solution.

Thanks

Alex

Sorry if it's not the answer you're looking for, but NORTON IS THE DEVIL. If I were you, I'd uninstall Norton, and take the cd and smash it into tiny pieces, then jump up and down on the tiny pieces until they're merely dust. I personally don't feel the need for an Internet security program, but if you do, there are better alternatives out there than Symantec's line of products. Something like ZoneAlarm would probably do the job.

I use Norton Internet Security and have a solution. You need to add Norton to the WindowBlinds exclusion list. Go to Display properties, click on the Windowblinds button, click on Per Application Settings, and add the Norton exectuable(s) to the list. Tell WindowBlinds to ignore it completely. You shouldn't have any problems after that. Good luck.
