View Full Version : BitComet & Norton Anti-Virus

Occassionally when a download completes (or I try to exit BitComet) I get warnings that BitComet is requesting a virus scan from Norton Anti-Virus... and not just one warning - it quite often prevents BC from exiting for a long time: even to the point where i've had to do a "CTRL-ALT-DEL > end process".

It's not a major issue with me and hasn't put me off using BC, i was just wondering if anyone else has this problem... and if they know how to fix it?

O my god, I'd actualy have to agree with wipeout
Norten or norton[who cares] antivirus is terrible. Takes way to much memory for it's own good. I use avg[pro], grab the free version or pro if you can find it[heh]

Just set bitcomet not to scan new downloads! Or get nav not to do it...
