Location of Microsoft Fax?

[Mark]

To create an exception so Norton Anti-Virus 2005 will not scan my fax modem
port (it keeps producing a false read that there's a worm intrusion), I must
browse to find the file and program. I can't find my Microsoft Fax in My
Computer or My Documents and I don't where Control Panel is. Anyone know the
address?

Fxsclnt.exe is the name of the "Microsoft shared Faxed Client"

not sure if that's what your looking for.

How do you know that Norton is producing a false reading???

You won't find fax in my computer, nor my documents, it's part of outlook
control panel is found doing the following, click on start you should see
control panel listed on the right hand side menu.
and why are you looing for the Fax, when the issue seems to be with Norton??
are you certain it's FALSE?, and what is it that makes you think so?
I have norton 2003 and the fax software with modem, I get no such report!!
I do have it set for office plugins. so it scans outgoing docs and macros
and etc.

Because he can't use his FAX Console with the Windows SP2 upgrade. I can't
either.

This is a known issue generating a mountain of posts to this list so far.

At least that is what I'm getting from MS support. What used to work no
longer works. Norton 2003 virus protection has to be upgraded to 2005 to
work with SP2. Windows Firewall and Norton are now monitoring ports for any
program that tries to use common ports like a trojan horse. Unfortunately,
fax machines have to use these ports. 1024 in this case.

Creating exceptions has no effect on stopping the messages. I could learn
to live with them if that is all there was.

Unfortunately, the issue is minor compared to getting a blue screen crash
everytime you send a fax. FAX Console loads and behaves normally. FAX
Monitor tracks the processs and detects data from the receiving fax machine.
The fax is received even though no record is entered in fax console. When it
finishes the machine crashes.

Whether related or not, Norton's Checkit cannot detect a modem even though
it is obviously installed and working.

In the meantime, I am waiting for xp pro and sp2 cds to arrive from MS so a
"parallel restore" can be done. If the problem persists, its on to the next
step. I don't know if it is smoke or not, I just long for the dos days when
all I had to worry about was autoexec.bat and config.sys and the software
people worried about interfacing with the os and hardware.
