Help Norton scan of word document crashing ststem big time
Every time I attempt to open a word file it starts blinking and locks up the
computer whilst being scanned by nortons. ctrl+alt+del no response restart : flashes a board "closing dllhost.exe" does not close asks close now click yes and nothing happens. Then try shut down, no response. Finally have to hit the restart button. when I restart word it wants to open in safe mode. Search reveals 4 files three are legitimate and one DLLHOST.EXE-1EB8AF26.pf located in c\WINDOWS|Prefetch has no info and appears unsigned on properties and opens with unknown application. furthermore it appears to be somehow linked to the access files Is this the culprit???? and where did it come from as I keep verry tight security on the beast. If I delete this Will this fix the problem or make things worse?????? |

Turn off the Office Plug-In in Norton. This will not hurt anything and will

Help Norton scan of word document crashing ststem big time
Thanks for that.
will have to think about that and will try as a last resort as the norton settings have not been causing conflict prior to the date that dll appeard to have been installed. I still have the problem of that DLLHOST.EXE-1EB8AF26. and I suspect it is the culprit as it is unsigned and of unknown origin, opens with unknown application, and is unsigned. It appears to come into effect when connected to the web because if I open the file after rebooting and have not connected to the web there is no problem. the nortons scan zipz through in a couple of seconds. |

Help Norton scan of word document crashing ststem big time
The norton plug-in causes all sorts of grief and the extent of that grief
varies with Norton's own updates. You need to disable the office plug-in. It's not a 'last resort' but a 'first resort'. DLLHOST.EXE is a Windows system file see (eg) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=198891 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org flowers wrote: Thanks for that. will have to think about that and will try as a last resort as the norton settings have not been causing conflict prior to the date that dll appeard to have been installed.
