Disk Check + Windows Messenger + Norton 2004 Pro

Disk Check in XP stops after phase 2 when Windows
Messenger 4.7 is being protected by Norton Anti-Virus Pro
2004. 'Windows is unable to complete disk check' is the
msg given.
When the protection is taken off of messenger in Norton
the disk check when run completes.
Is there a compatibility issue between XP messenger &
Norton?
Thanks

Greetings Boonie,

I don't have Norton AV 2004 here at the moment to test, but Norton's "protection" has been a
problem in the past. All this "protection" does is automatically scan files for viruses when
you receive them, instead of when you run them. Even with the protection off, when you run
whatever you've received, Norton scans it anyway, so you really aren't losing any protection
by turning this functionality off. I'd recommend turning it off and leaving it off to
prevent this problem any other problems in the future.
