    BF2 and Norton Antivirus

    I was wondering if any of you guys had Norton Antivirus? After I updated with the latest patch when I refresh the server list I get the Internet Worm activity window poping up from Norton. I tried EA but they had me on hopld for 2 hours before I gave up. Norton wants $25.00 before they will even talk to you. i have seen a few posts about it but no one has really found a way to stop it. Would love to get some help on this as it takes BF2 servers longer to list.

    I have Norton and haven't run into that problem, but I always try to remember to disable Norton before playing anyways.

    Bassiswild, I have been having the same exact problem. Before I play I have to turn off internet worm protection. Go to options, Internet worm protection, and deselect it.

    Thanks for the heads up guys. I will do that. I wonder if EA will fix it with their latest patch.

    I don't think its a problem with BF2.. its more of an issue with Norton.

    Hopefully Norton will address the problem in their latgest update. Especially with the popularity of BF2. That could really hurt their Norton's business if they do not correct this problem.
