Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. And no, Symantec Support won't tell you who! This gives a whirlwind:

1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  • Why Adobe Application Manager doesn't stop downloads the installation fails because of corruption AAM

    Adobe Application Manager - if installation fails for the first of all the products of CS6 Cloud with note that "MAO is damaged and must be reinstalled" why not ARREST all the others download (which then also fail for the same exact reason!) AAM?

    In countries like here (New Zealand) who still have restrictive limits on their downloads, this would be VERY USEFUL!

    The error message stated that the MAA has been damaged and I should reinstall. However, I tried again (without reinstalling the AAM - I'm an optimist!) and all applications have now installed successfully.

  • Updates failed because Norton began a background scan.

    Windows Vista.  18 of 28 updates failed. Norton started a scan that I wasn't aware of everything and that caused the problem.

    So how the hell do I get these updates installed correctly.

    Cannot delete the contents of the "Datastore" folder or "Download" (in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution) because windows says it's in use, although only this window was open.

    Tried to download and install KB3153171 from here:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=52222

    It started the update of Windows Installer which continued for about two hours doing nothing - I wanted to only install 1 update. I then clicked 'Cancel' and who took 30 extra minutes to cancel indeed.

    Everything that did not should be available to download again, but it is not.

    Or there should be a button "Try again", but there is none.

    I can't uninstall the updates failed because of course, they are not in the list of installed updates.

    Hi Hall2 Toad:

    Please see post # 159 of the ScousaJAY thread windows update just seems to hang when checking in the VistaForums for a possible workaround.  These Windows updates slow (WUs) are currently affecting both Win 7 and Vista. Woody Leonhard has published a series of articles on this issue in his blog Woody on Windows , including Windows 7 update holding scans always? KB 3153199 can solve the problem.

    As suggested by Woody, many users are now the solution posted on the page Web of Dalai Search for Windows Updates takes forever?-a possible solution pre-install a kernel mode driver Windows missing (Win32k.sys) updates listed on that Web page will speed up Windows Update - at least until Patch Tuesday next month, updates are released and you must first install a new update of Win32k.sys.  The author of this Web page:

    "This HowTo is valid for Win7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista, which have been newly installed or have not been updated for some time. "It should also help on systems that have been updated last month - just install the lack of updates in the list below in this case."

    I disabled updates Windows Automatic (a re-boot should stop any session WU, currently running in the background and consuming CPU) and perform a manual Windows Update a few days after Patch Tuesday updates are displayed on the second Tuesday of every month when I know that I will not need my computer for several hours.  I use Norton Internet Security and normally activate silent Mode (clic click right on the Norton icon in the system tray, choose activate silent Mode and select a long duration as 6 hours) to disable temporarily all tasks automatic Norton LiveUpdates as background and scans fast when WU is running.  Activate silent Mode doesn't disable your protection against malware in real time or Norton Firewall smart and I have no proof that Windows Update works really faster when Silent Mode is on, but I'm not all background tasks unnecessary CPU consumption when I run Windows Update these days.  Do not forget to deactivate the Silent Mode once your Windows Update is complete (I hope) to restart your Norton background tasks again.

  • system failed because iertutil.dll was not found.

    When you start windows xp pro starts then stops and says this application has failed because iertutil.dll was not found.

    When you see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    It is in the case Log:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Application Popup
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 26
    Date: 18/02/2010
    Time: 08:38:48
    Description:
    Application popup: Explorer.exe - Unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    The iertutil.dll file is required for explorer.exe at startup.  If explorer.exe is not able to run, you will not be able to do much with your system until the file is replaced.

    The file may have been deleted accidentally, malicious software could have deleted or your anti-malware software could have been quarantined it thinking it was a threat.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    First of all, here are all the things you can 'try' which do not work:

    sfc/scannow

    The iertutil.dll is not one of the files that are protected by Windows File Protection, so it will not be replaced automatically if it's missing 3498.  This means that sfc/scannow won't help you.

    It is also not on your XP installation for you CD to copy or develop.

    You will have the same problem trying to start in any Safe Mode.

    You will not be able to run a browser on the system afflicted to go on Internet download one.  There is also a computer big security risk when downloading files from Internet sites anyway.

    You can still use the Task Manager to run the system restore and back, but I've never tried.

    If iertutil.dll is missing, you can copy from a system that works in the system afflicted with the same version of XP and Internet Explorer or sometimes copy one from another location on your system.

    You can get a good copy and put it on a floppy disk, thumb drive etc and copy it to your system plagued by using Manager tasks.

    When you see the error, you can click beyond it and eventually arrived at your screen background image where you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL to start Task Manager. TM you can click file, new task, browse and edit the menu drop-down "Files of type" to all files that you can see all the files in all the folders.

    Browse/navigate to c:\windows\system32 if iertutil.dll is really missing. If the error appears again while browsing, click OK to get past it.  The explorer.exe tries to run and cannot until the missing file is replaced.

    Then, still using the Task Manager, go to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache and see if there is a copy of the file.

    If this isn't in c:\windows\system32\dllcache, it is going to be elsewhere on your system and you will find another way.
    Start by looking in c:\windows\system32\dllcache.

    If it's the only thing missing, you can just copy the file to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache and paste it into c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  If you don't, get one from a working system of the same type as yours, copy to a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and always using TM, browse, copy and paste it where it should be.

    TM, you can always access your thumb or other media same diskettes by navigation, copy, paste, etc. all work fine.

    You use TM to navigate to your thumb or floppy disk, copy the iertutil.dll good and then paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, where it is supposed to be.

    When go you there once again, your system may still be affected so no matter what you use for malware protection.
    follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
