IMPORTANT :WindowsXP/NAV Problem

[mikmik]

I just got this from Bootdisk.com http://www.bootdisk.com/

Thank goodness!! I was just about to wipe my system, I have uninstalled most apps, etc., done major reg. tweaking - thought I might have some kind of wild script running somewhere.


1) Last Nortons Update Slows Down XP PCs

Darryl posts - Today, when I right click on a file, it takes about 30 seconds for the menu appear. It's taking me forever to do my work. What's wrong?

anonymous adds - Same issue here, both at the home and office PC's. Started yesterday (Jan 7). Any resolutions?
*** The latest Nortons live update [1-7-2004] is the problem. For anybody else I'd suggest NOT updating your Nortons anti-virus for a week or until the problem is solved.

Frm bootdisk again
Right-click on your IE desktop icon and select: Properties | Advanced and scroll down to the Security heading. Uncheck the box next to "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" and click "apply" and reboot.

It appears that all the NAV files are signed with a certificate that expired 1/7/2004. Every time it tries to use a file, it's going out to VeriSign to see if it's really expired and if there's a new certificate available.

In otherwords, in IE, go to tools, then Internet options, and then select the advanced tab and scroll down to the 'security' heading. Uncheck the first box and restart IE. The same can be done in 'Control Panel'.
It works!
