Title: SAMP & Norton 360
Post by: valmiustila on March 19, 2011, 06:44:50 am

Hey. Since i bought new version of N360, it thinks that SAMP includes a virus, and then it auto-deletes it. This happens like every day, but usually it helps when i reinstall my SAMP. How to fix this, any ID?

it is probably the samp.dll which injects into normal SA and makes it SAMP, try allowing it somehow in the options.

add Samp.dll and samp.exe files to nortons whitelist, if your unsure how just play around with the exceptions for your firewall(be careful if you do play around)

Goto the N360 icon on your taskbar (near clock and everything)

Right click it and disable it for shortest time.... then install it and join whilst it's disabled...

and then it remembers it (i think)

well that's what happened with me, 'cos i had your problem did that and not had it since

Uninstall Norton. One of the most resource-hugging and useless programs ever.

...and replace it with this http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ (http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/) . This only works if your PC is genuine and registered.

so you  want him to replace norton (pretty much run by microsoft) with a microsoft security pack?, everyone knows microsoft programs are the ones targeted by hackers and malware creators, try trend micro, or Kaspersky

+1, I dont use Norton since 2004 :P
I use Avast Pro instead. The computer is secured, and you dont feel it running in the background :)
