I'll do that when I get home tonight.  It's the most recent commercial
personal version, with all updates available by auto-update applied (I
ran it a couple days ago)

As a follow-up, it didn't actually kill any files, it just disabled
access to that port by the MGServer.exe process.  I was able to get it
working by going into the Norton AV setup and, under internet worms (or
something like that) disabling the below-noted rule.

Jason,

Can you supply the exact version of NAV that you're using?  Corporate /
personal version / major rev / minor rev?  I think the About Box also
gives details.

Thanks,
Walt

Hi all,
 
Just a word of warning.  If you're running current Norton AV, it may
kill your MapGuide Server install, detecting MgServer.exe as "Default
Block Phinneas Phucker Trojan horse"  because it opens port 2801 on all
local network adapters.
 
ADSK, can you work with Norton to prevent this?
 
Jason
