Default Norton: Auto-Protect Error

Win XP
Norton Internet Security 2007

Error Message:

Auto-Protect experienced an unexpected error.
0x000003EE

3035,12

I get this about every other boot. Sometimes it takes it some time to
display the error message (i.e., running fine for 15 min, then craps
out). Basically, my auto-protect is being turned off.

What I've done so far:

* I have been to the Norton website and ran the "fix" program.
* I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Norton.
* Ran Panda's free virus scan - no viruses found, however, it did find
40 pieces of malware that Ad-Aware SE does not see?

Nothing is working. Any thoughts/suggestions?

This has been running fine since install - about 100 days.

There is no single ant-spyware program that will trap every possible
spyware out. You need to run a few anti-syware utilities, besides AD
Aware SE.

Spywbot: Search and Destroy
Spyware Terminator
AVG Anti-Spyware
Microsoft Windows Defender (??????)

Run disk Clean Up then Check Disk and Defrag in Safe mode.
Open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK]
I found the above very effective in dealing with this issue (Norton).
HTH.
Let us know.

IMO, you are better off without NIS or NAV. There are other, better, less
resource intensive and more reliable programs, some of which are free, that
do the same job. Get rid of it.

Normally, I have Spybot and Ad-aware. Ad-aware found everything that
Spybot did not. So, on my last rebuild I only installed Ad-aware. Not
sure why as both should have been installed. At any rate, I installed
Spybot and it picked up all those that Ad-aware missed.

This did not fix more core issue but was a good exercise for numerous
reasons.

I tried running sfc and received the following error: The RPC Server is
unavailable.

I am running XP Pro. During the process of trying to figure this out, I
found that the Live Update was set to Manual (In Services). I'm not
sure how that was changed, but I set it back to automatic and now it
seems fine - the core issue that is.

Hi TC,
Try to enable the RPC in the services and see if you will be able to run the
System File Checker.
The services are:
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Automatically
Remote Procedure Call Locater (RPC) Manual

I will download spybot, I read your post to smlunatick you mentioned you
didn't have on the second install install it just in case Lava will mess some.
HTH.
Regards,
nass

Tried that and both are running in services. The locator was set to
manual. I set it to automatic.

Did you tried the sfc /scannow to see if it will work and could you look in
the event viewer for any error messages that can shed some light.
Also make sure this service is enabled or trusted in Norton Firewall.
Try to Disable Norton when you try the sfc ( disconnect from the net).
HTH.

Nothing. I tried in safe-mode. Norton is not running at that point.
