Try adding norton.com and symantec.com to your Internet Explorer Trusted Sites list. In IE go to tools-->Internet Options-->Security, click on Trusted Sites then on the Sites button to build the list. Make sure to clear the box at the bottom "Require HTTPS secure connection" if it is checked. Set the level to Low (go back and set it back to Medium when you are done). This should allow you to get the ActiveX installed and from there, try to download the repair tool again.

If you AVG-Free 7 then the only thing you need to do is update your AVG antivirus as frequently possible......I've used AVG for almost two years now....One of the greatest problems in Norton '06-Free is it keeps on pestering you to buy it....and AVG is totally free(AVG Pro cost some bucks)...."ONE" of the other problem I faced with Norton '06 after I bought it was when I was installing a huge game (a double CD game) it installed very slowly and I had to abort the installing .Then I chucked Norton '06 and got AVG...PRESTO!!! the game installed in less than 10 minutes.......U know what Norton '06 does???....It kinda locks UR HDD and scans whatever is put into the Hard Disc Drive leading to high HDD temp and CPU temp and slow transfer of data from HDD to anywhere else....to CD,Floppy,iPod ,even the NET!!!(slowing down your net speed cosiderably) resulting in unstable system environment.......So Norton Anti Virus is a pain in the computer.....Be done with it people!!!

you don't mention which trojan you have so it will be hard for anyone to give specific information.\n\nA trick that I've used in the past when AVG stumbled across an infected file that it couldn't delete or quarantine is:\n\n1. Copy the entire contents of the affected folder, minus the infected file (select all, then whilst holding the ctrl key, click on the infected file, then right click one of the highlighted files & select 'copy').\n\n2. Create a new folder on the desktop & paste what you've copied into that folder.\n\n3. Write down the exact name & location of the folder containing the affected file, and then delete the entire folder. (if this doesn't work, check the 'read only' status in properties - it should be unchecked.\n\n4, Rename the folder that you copied the files to, to the name of the folder that you deleted, then cut it, and paste it in the same location as the folder you deleted. \n\nYou should now have everything as it was before, minus the infected file.\n\nThe above assumes that you have tried & failed in manually deleting the affected file in windows explorer - if not, try that 1st, remembering to check the read only status of the file.\n\nEDIT: I gotta agree with ashutosh. I'm a former norton user who converted to AVG - after 18 months I've had a small fraction of the grief that i experienced with norton products.

Without a doubt! Dump Norton! You can even tell them I said this and so do all my friends!\n\nRemoving Symantec / Norton AntiVirus and LiveUpdate \n\nClick on Start and then Control Panel. \n\nIn the control panel, double-click on Add / Remove Programs. \n\nLook through the list of installed programs for any item that says \neither Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate (for example "Symantec \nAntiVirus Corporate Edition" or "Norton AntiVirus 2002"). \n\nBegin looking for Symantec or Norton items. LiveUpdate should be \ndone last. For each Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate item, select \nthe item and click Remove or Change / Remove or Add / Remove.\nFollow the instructions, and click Yes or Yes to all when prompted.\n\nNOTE: If you attempt to remove LiveUpdate and receive a warning \nmessage about other Symantec applications being registered with \nLiveUpdate, click Yes to ignore the warning and remove LiveUpdate. \n\nWhen you are done, there should be no items in the list that say \n"Norton,""Symantec," or "LiveUpdate." \n\nClose the Add / Remove Programs window. Close the Control Panels\nwindow. \n\nReboot your computer if it hasn't already automatically rebooted. \n\nIf present, delete the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Symantec folder. \n\nIf present, delete the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Norton AntiVirus \n   (or C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Norton) (or C:&#92;Program Files&#92;NavNT) folder. \n\nIf present, delete the  \nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Common Files&#92;Symantec Shared folder. \n\nRun CCleaner.exe\n\nBetter AntiVirus Options:\n\nFree Anti-virus:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html\nhttp://www.free-av.com/\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp\nhttp://www.superantispyware.com/\n\nOther Anti-virus help:\nhttp://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/\nhttp://www.cert.org/other_sources/viruses.html\n\nFree Online Virus Checks:\nhttp://onlinescan.avast.com/\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast-virus-cleaner.html\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nhttp://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml\nhttp://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html\nhttp://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp\n\nAlso, don't forget about Anti-Spyware:\n\nFree Anti-Spyware:\nhttp://www.spywareguide.com/onlinescan.php\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ewido-anti-spyware-free/lng/us/tpl/v5\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-1\nhttp://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/\n\nFree Firewall:\nhttp://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Try installing & running Norton Utilities

Have you tried booting in Safe Mode, logging in to an admin account and seeing what you can do from there?\nAnd did you download from the official Norton site? If you've paid for the software then you're entitled to support!

Question: did you get Norton 2006 legally or pirated? If you pirated it, get rid of it and find another antivirus. There are a few free antiviruses out there.\n\nAVG-http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\nAvast-http://www.avast.com

You probably need to uninstall the old version first.\nGo into Start, Control Panel, find current programme listed, and delete.\nYou should then be able to install new version.

This is a known problem with Norton and they have a web-based tool available online at the following link...\n\nhttp://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/7e7f15291a25d938882567e50048a048/797708c8db6a451d88256e12005f4275?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam\n\nIf that link doesn't work, you can goto http://www.symantec.com and go in the knowledgebase section and search for KB#2004010509301513.\n\nWhen using the Symantec AutoFix Tool online you MUST use the Internet Explorer web browser and not any others such as Firefox.\n\nHope this helps! :-)

my advice is also to ditch the norton, get good free antivirus and use zone alarm free version firewall,and free antivirus are, avg free/avast which i use,mcafee if you gonna buy or p2p it,or even use the panda online scan free,\nusually a reinstall does the trick,nortons a system hogger, and anyone tells you otherwise is also a noob, ive tried em all and its good but uses lots of resource

You might have a faulty file with your norton anti-virus software. I would try un-installing it and re-installing it again. If that doesn't work, you should try to contact your vendor to see what's up....

boot to safe mode (F8)\ntry system restore ,go back to before Norton and hope it works\nanother thing you can try in safe mode is to uninstall you cd/dvd rom then reboot

Norton AntiVirus is way too big, bloated and intrusive. You can't do anything without it butting in and messing you up. The last time I looked, it was 33.8 MegaBytes and you practiclly need a wheelbarow to haul it around.\n\nI have heard that it will put up a good fight when you try to uninstalled it but, Mcaffe has a tool to help with that.\n\nGood luck!

They have some good once too. \n\nhttp://www.dynamiclink.nl/htmfiles/rframes/info_dll/info_n/13.htm> \nif this fixes the error u o me a million bux.
