norton isn't our firewall and anti virus. humm. don't sim and net, that would require a lot of self-control.
Ok wait what. Do you even have the Nvidia crashes? If not... why are you complaining about turning Norton off?
Its been said since the basegame came out that Norton and Sims won't play nice together. Hell Norton doesn't play nice with anything.
FourCats:
I get the freezes/crashes. But if I "useshaders off" then I dont
Edit:
My virus scanner & firewall is Zone Alarm. We like it pretty well.
Edit 2:
My spyware program just found, Grokster listed as a P2P, what is that?

I want to say that people running Norton have it coming to them anyway. There's no excuse to have that bloater on your system when there are so many free and effective firewalls/anti-virus programs.
But yeah. Saying that you should turn off your anti-virus before playing is a little bit cheeky. More than a little bit. Why not just fix that memory leak of yours?
I read that as they "suspected" it was the games fault, but really, its Nortons!
Which may or may not be truth, but that's what I think they're saying.
Madame Mim:
How the fuck can it be Nortons when Iwouldn't let that piece of shit anywhere near my PC and I get the crashes.
Which is not to say I shan't check this out. I shall disconnect my internet connection from the wall. Turn on the shaders and turn off my Virus protection. But I won't hold my breath.
I'll get back to you on whether this makes any damned difference at all.
KellyQ:
I read this yesterday and thought what total bullshit.
I always disconnect from the internet, disable my virus and spyware protection and I haven't had fucking NortonHogResources Anti-Virus in years.
They are so full of shit. The BV EP is the fucking problem and as per usual, they are passing the buck off to another software manufacturer and gee, once again, their customers.
Business as usual for EA.
