I am posting this here as I am not sure whether it is a Windows XP problem,
or a problem with NIS 2007 or Word 2002.

I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2007 and have Microsoft Word
2002 and Works 7.

I occasionally check the Log Viewer of Norton Internet Security and have
noticed that I regularly get the following entires under the heading Symantec
Resourse Protector>Alerts

The entires are always the same, apart from the PID number and are as follows:

<Date> <Time> Unauthorise Access Logged

Event Details
Actor: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE 10\WINWORD.EXE (PID=168
(different number on each occasion)
Target: \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Common Client\ccService\Channels\
Action: Unauthorised access
Reaction: Unauthorised access stopped

Can anyone throw any light on this apparent problem. Is there some thing I
can or should do in either NIS2007 or Word 2002 to prevent this apparent
security problem.

Needless to say all my products are always fully updated.

Good advice. Norton is famous for screwing up computers. The problem,
however, is that it's hard to remove. Go to Semantec's web site and
download the uninstall tool. Then, download and install Avast! for your
anti virus, www.avast.com and Comodo for your firewall, www.comodo.com/
Both are free.

You'll be thankful you did, trust me.

EGA,

Open NIS, go to the FIREWALL. Click on the PROGRAMS tab & give WINWORD.EXE
'Permit Always' access. Maybe its set to 'Automatic' or 'Custom'. If it's not in
the list, click ADD & go to Program Files... find the application & add with
'Permit Always' access

Another thing you can do as you have a Home Product is ask Symantec Live Help

http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoff...?pvid=nis_2007

As for the others who state you should bin it are free to express their own
opinion but this advice seems to be escalating due to the pyramid reading of the
users; One person says it & a few more read it. They pass on what they read to
others & more read it... Before you know it 1 million people have said the same
thing starting from one person who obviously has no idea to start with

This advice coming from 2 MVP who use AVG with its own Adware BHO or AVAST that
doesn't pick up a virus or Sophos that is totally useless. Just 3 products that
should never be recommended

This is caused by NIS. This same issue has been posted and answered in the MS Office newsgroups many times.

Uninstall Norton as per their uninstall tool available from the Symantec site. Then install either AVG or Avast which will do just as a good job if not better.

Thanks for all the responses. Whilst some of you might think that telling me
to uninstall NIS and use alternative is good advice it actually does not
address my problem. However, the problem has now been solved.

"Trust me". Every time I hear/see/read that phrase, a skinny, dirty,
haggard little street thug comes to mind. Trust you? Not for love nor
money!
Besides, you're wrong.

There is no way you can know that's caused by NIS. The "many times" you
mentioned has always come from closed minds and parrots. You sound like a
parrot.
Neither AVG nor AVAST are equal to or superior to NAV. And equating them
to NIS is silly - there is no equivalency that way. NIS is NOT NAV.

With the information given by the OP there is no way you should have even
bothered to give your closed minded response let alone anything else.

Actually there is an unwritten agreement between MVPs to support each
other in order to belong to the club!! You scratch mine, I'll scratch
yours type!!

to get MVP, one need to sleep with another so that recommendation is
easy to come by!!
