Hi2all
The assumption that this is a bug its not clear, or not a bug at all,
but at least is some lack of information from Symantec.
The new Norton Internet Security 2000 based his firewall and several
protections on AtGuard (from - the ex ? - www.atguard.com).
In the page of AtGuard was/is information to inform the users that
the product was no more suported, counting from some date (21th Dec99
?), and they should upgrade to NIS since AtGuard was close to be part
of Symantec.
The old AtGuard users, as far as i know and correct me if i'm wrong
at least about the trial version users, were not warned - nor in NIS
instalation - that AtGuard must be removed before the NIS
instalation, because if they do it later NIS stops working ok. Why?
probably because of files with the same names or something like it,
the fact is that you can not enable NIS protection if you dont
uninstall AtGuard before installing NIS2k.
This days i suppose its very simple to do a setup with some kind of
date checking to avoid things like this to happend, so is it a bug or
was i that just mess things again in nights that i cant sleep? =;o)
