According to reports, since Friday, millions of computers have been crashing with Blue Screens Of Death after downloading an update to Norton Anti Virus.
The latest virus Norton database was upgraded on May 17. According to some PC experts, this software, after the upgrade, would regard two essential system files (netapi32.dll, lsasrv.dll) as viruses by mistake and clear them away from computers installed with Windows XP. That causes the computer to be locked up even after a reboot.
Norton is promising a solution soon but if I were you I’d stop using Norton right now and instead get yourself a copy of NOD32. NOD32 is so much faster, reliable, and less resource intensive. While Norton is bloated and is always causing more problems than the viruses it fails to protect you from.
