skelley Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have been trying to start up CMBN for the last 2 hrs with no luck. Nortons it seems is stopping it again. I have gone into Nortons and have found no files quarantined. I have excluded it from scans, I have excluded it from Auto-Protect, Sonar and Download intelligence detection. WTF!!!!!! This is a giant pain in the ass that I get to deal with when I try to install CMBNCW and CMFI if I can figure out CMBN. I have searched the forum and haven't found anything that has worked. If anybody can help me out it would be much appreciated. I am running windows 7 with norton 360. Thx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Do yourself a favor and delete Norton. You'll preserve yourself from a life of pain and free up a lot space on the HD. Get one of the free AVs, like Avast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 First thing I always do with any new computer that may have Norton installed is trash bin Norton and also any easy access IE icons. Firefox with Ad Blocker, Avast Anti-Virus (free version)... virus free for years and no problems installing programs. This is on two cpu's (Workstation and laptop) with Win7 and one older desktop with WinXP sp3 as OS's. I have never liked anything Norton. Just my two cents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelley Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Combat Mission is the only program I've installed that Norton has a problem with. That being said I appreciate the advice but I think I'm sticking with it. Anybody with advice other than deleting Norton please help me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sigh... Oh well, good luck. Someone will respond shortly to help you out I am sure. By the way, I have heard Norton mentioned as "one big virus" in itself by quite a few people. Just passing this on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have never seen Norton quarantine CMBN however it does have a problem with CW and CMFI. Have you restarted your comp since you did all the exclusions? Did you run the CMBN exe as administrator? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Security history info states: A program exited full-screen mode. Silent mode is still on due to user setting it on. Whatever that means. What a steaming bag of excrement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Try going into your Norton settings and turn off your virus protection and see what happens. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about anything else is better, free or paid service. Having software conflicts is what Norton does best. That you only have trouble with CMSF makes you the most satisfied Norton user in the history of mankind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Well, to be fair, at least Norton told me what it disliked and gave me the option to exclude it from destruction. It seemed to think the CMFI CD contained a heuristic virus. (um, it didn't, did it?)Once I told it to restore the suspect item, the game installed fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yep. Same with me. I just went through this yesterday and this morning. Well, at this point your only option is to uninstall Norton and then install CMBN. If it runs then you'll know it's definitely the virus software. At this point it sounds like you need to do a process of elimination. Norton would be the best place to start. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquelne Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Really, it is a terrible AV. A few years ago there was a rumor on campus that there was someone here who liked Norton AV. So it can't be all bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just uninstalled norton an CMBN, reinstalling CMBN. What is the best protection that doesn't block **** you're loading on from disc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelley Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 After CMBN installed I got an error so I'm uninstalling it again. Norton may suck but CMX2 has the worst installers I've ever used. Never have I had this much trouble installing a program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulverisor64 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 skelley, Sorry no one could help you here. The fix for this is simple but certainly not obvious. When you installed CMBN Norton thought one of the files was a virus. You should be able to trace the file in question and restore it. Click on your Norton Anti virus icon. Click the Tasks Tab. Click on the Security History Heading. Search for the quarantined file that has Combat Mission in it. Click to restore this file. A lot of people with Norton are struggling with this install issue. There should be an easy to find known issues Readme with the download or disk install, or a troubleshooting FAQ that deals with this specific issue, or Battlefront should settle this known issue with Norton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
