Antivirus and WindowsME

[Rick Morgan]

Ok...1st time in.. Here goes.

I installed Windows ME and love it. I do have a problem in Start-up and
Shut-down though. I think it is related to Nortin Anti-Virus, but not
certain.

On Start-up, System often hangs - CTRL-ALT-DEL shows a file cmdninst
which it hangs on. Is this file related to NAV? If so, what can I do? Don't
want to be un-protected.

Thanks!

You may wish to make sure you are using the current Norton AntiVirus,
version 2001, as this may solve your problem.

I have also had success with Computer Associates' free virus-checking
program, but I prefer Norton.

Thanks for the reply Jim.

I am using Norton 2001. Everything seems to behave ok until I install it.
Not sure if the there is a configuration problem elsewhere that is getting
in the way. Every time the system hangs, the same file is indicated. Did a
search of my system, but was unable to locate anything by that name (
cmdninst ... don't remember the extension).

I need to correct something... Found CMDNINST.EXE in Windows\System
directory. Not sure why this file hangs on startup

It could be Nortons Clean Sweep

Hi Rick,

I think you should check out http://www.opswat.com/ there are 2 or 3 products that may be a match. I think that OESIS Framework at http://www.opswat.com/products/oesis-framework provides a single interface to many antivirus packages. Another option is, I think, Metascan at http://www.opswat.com/products/metascan which is more for ISV.
I also found that many antivirus engines certified by OPSWAT at http://www.opswat.com/certified.

I hope this helps.
Regards,

Sandra
