#NORTON WONT RUN SCAN SOFTWARE#

Solution: SymNRT is a program that can remove some Norton software from your computer. We can't do anything about this, so I'm not going to spend any more time on this myself.Situation: Another document in the Symantec knowledge base or a Symantec Technical Support technician sent you here. It is up to them to fix this, or to explain why they have chosen to do things in this way, why they won't to listen to their users' complaints, and why they claim there are bugs in other software when it is clearly a problem or by-design issue in their own which they appear not to have investigated as they think blaming other people and saying they don't support anything but Explorer is acceptible. Norton cannot, with a straight face, claim they are doing their menu correctly and not intentionally excluding it from everything but Explorer if it does not work in any other program aside from Explorer, including Notepad which is part of Windows and which uses the standard File Open dialog which essentially is Explorer. So it seems that Norton either have bug that depends on something very specific and unique to Explorer which is certainly not part of the Windows API, or they are intentionally doing a test to see if the host process is called 'explorer.exe' (or something similar which would only match Explorer) and excluding them menu from anything else.

The File > Open dialog in Notepad is not just the same method for building the menu that Explorer uses, it is the same actual code for building the menu.

that older comment from Mohan_G was incorrectly worded and could have been better stated by saying something like 'Older methods of invoking shell extensions used by many (every?) third-Party Explorer Shells (like Total Commander, Turbo Navigator, Free Commander, PowerDesk, XYplorer, and Directory Opus) are no longer is there even some newer method of invoking shell extensions that neither Opus or Notepad are using? Does that even hold water?ДЄs an aside, since newer uses reading this thread are still tripping up over this even though I mentioned it specifically in my original posts, and Lancea implied it in his step by step directions - maybe the root post could be updated with Lanceas' own step by steps with some additional note about the path changing every time Norton updates NIS? from this statement, it certainly seems like the response that you got about it being a problem with other file managers not properly using Windows api's is either a total wild goose chase and BAD guidance from someone at Symantec who has no idea what they're talking about or. Third-Party Explorer Shells (Like Total Commander File Manager) are no longer supported for this feature in Norton v21. Sorry for not getting back sooner and thanks for your patience. or better yet just go to that thread yourself, you'll find the following response from a Norton forum admin named Mohan_G: If you look back at my comments about the thread that hemm99 linked us to.

#NORTON WONT RUN SCAN DRIVER#

Maybe a trick they learned from how they themselves used to have trouble beating up on other apps - anyone remember how later versions of Daemon Tools used to actually change its driver and process names between releases so that AV/AS software left them alone? LOL. I wonder if AV/AS vendors do this sort of thing on purpose so that malicious crap out there has that much little bit more of a harder time targeting any of their binaries - by having the path be obtuse and ever changing.

And there's no path variable or anything else that you can reference to not have to manually update the path in your Opus customizations (bummer).

Add code via the NIS command line sure seems to mimic what the shell extension does closely enough, but it is indeed a PITA to maintain.

Browse to the location of navw32.exe, select the file and click Open.

For Function, select 'Standard Function (Opus or external)'.

For Type, select 'Run an Opus function (not supported in Explorer)'.

Double-click on the second entry '(NONE) All files and folders'.

From the Settings menu, select File Types.

after both minor and major Norton version-updates. You will need to update the path whenever the location of the Norton files changes, i.e. IMPORTANT: the path given in step 9 must be updated to reflect the installed-version of Norton. I've just installed version 11 beta, but it looks like the instructions are unchanged from version 10 - so here goes:
