I'm guessing that turning off email scanning didn't work. Right? No one, as
of yet, has report that this solved the error in the first post on this
thread (port being blocked). I turned off email scanning when I first
installed the program, so I knew that wasn't the culprit. Since I did a
System Restore after the uninstalling of the April patches didn't work
through Add/Remove Programs. I'm curious if anyone has had any luck with
Bruce Hagen's fix. I followed his directions when I went to reinstall the
patches that System Restore uninstalled and I'm having no more problems. I
also ran LiveUpdate after reinstall and the problem has not come back. I
think Norton prevented Windows Update from doing a clean install with the
latest secuity patches and the corrupted Update files was causing the problem
or the corrupted files were causing a conflict with Norton.

I've had exactely the same problem as you've been describing (including slow
running backups).

I run Windows XP Home SP2, IE 7, OE 6 & Systemworks 2006.
I have narrowed the problem down to when I used "Liveupdate" to upgrade to
"Symantec Network Driver" Version 6.0.6.604( I used Goback Safe mode to
eliminate all the other upgrades during liveupdate):

Symantec technical support weren't brilliant. They gave me 3 options to try
and the only one that appered to work was turning off e-mail scanning! I have
responded to this and am awaiting their reply!

Meanwhile, I'll try to uninstall the April ms updates and see if it solves
my problem as well.

Found the Realtek article if anyone's interested. There is a fix available.
