[mapguide-users] Norton Antivirus 2006 - Internet Worm Protection killed MG Open Source install

[Walt Welton-Lair]

I have the same version here at home.  I just took a quick look and NAV
lets you customize your internet worm protection settings.  For example,
under "Trojan Horse Rules" you can explicitly disable the check for the
"Phinneas ..." trojan horse.  A better solution would probably be to add
a new General Rule that allows communication on port 2801, or maybe just
adding mgserver.exe as a trusted program is sufficient.
 
I don't have MapGuide on my home computer so I couldn't do any testing.
If you have a chance try one or more of these settings.  If it works
then we have a simple workaround for the time being.
 
Walt

Oops, just remembered about this.
 
I'm running NAV 2006 for Windows XP/2000 (retail) version 12.2.0 13

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
