Norton Program Control warnings on CCAPP, LUCOMS

[tom.tulinsky]

Suddenly I am getting lots of warnings from Norton Internet Security
2005 like this:
"Iexplore.exe is attempting to access the internet using one or more
unrecognized modules" ....

The dialog is titled "Program Control" and then says "Medium Risk".

the only choices are Block Once or Permit Once, tho it seems to
remember my
choices, except for (ironically) the Norton programs CCAPP
and LUCOMS.

Besides Iexplore, other safe programs causing warnings include wmplayer
(Windows Media), Mozilla, even the Norton programs CCAPP and LUCOMS
(LuComServer_2_6.exe).

Help says these msgs are caused by "Program Component Monitoring"

A full scan showed no viruses and neither does Auto Protect, tho I turn
it off most of the time to increase speed.

Just before this happened i installed
- MSN Messenger 7
- Firefox "Free Download Manager"
- Firefox extension FlashGot mass download tool
- Firefox extension SAGE RSS reader

Running Win XP SP 2, with all automatic updates thru 14 August 2005.

Why are you installing all that crap?

I'm gazing into my crystal ball and... Wait!.. It's clearing!... It's

Thank you very much. (bowing to audience)

One does NOT need a crystall ball to read:

"Just before this happened i installed"

To see the root of the problem. Please get some new specs.

And will that help clarify the usefulness of your response? ;-)

There's nothing wrong with the Flashgot add on. Which one are you
warning about?

Nope Flashgot is OK, Sage is OK, dunno about "free download manager"
anything that says "free" is usually crap, anyway I reckon its weather
or not Norton can deal with it is the problem. Don't look like it do
it?

Ditch Norton or ditch the extensions.

I ran Program Scan in Norton Firewall options and it seems to have
fixed the problem. (it searches disks for programs that access
internet).

Probably the MSN Messenger 7 update changed some networking dll that
caused the problem, tho I don't understand why the Scan would fix it.
