The issue was first brought to notice by a user Sunfox on the official Norton Community forum on Friday evening with the following message: As per Sunfox, the Internet Explorer 11 worked normally after uninstalling the Norton Internet Security suite which means that the auto-updated dated 20.2.2015 was at fault. Sunfox was joined by many users who faced the same issue until Norton employee Nikhil_CV came up with commented on the forum that Norton had fixed the issue : Any ideas? “EDIT: The other IE10 PC had been asleep and hadn’t updated NIS yet. It is also now crashing in exactly the same manner as this one… and since that PC is almost entirely unrelated to this one in terms of software being used, this is going to be a bigger problem than just me.” Symantec won praise from Norton users for the quick fix and engaging with its users. Win8InFL praised Symantec for its smart turnaround time. Issue has been fixed . Kindly run manual live update (right click on Norton icon on tray notification area > ‘Run live update ‘) Repeat the step till it says no more updates found and verify the update at path : {C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton product name\NortonData\version number of product\Definitions\IPSDefs\20150221.001 } ver 20150221.001 Kindly stop using work-arounds.” Lately a lot of tech companies are botching up with their updates and patches and Norton is the latest offender of botched though Microsoft remains the uncrowned king at issuing bungling patches.
