Hi Gary... For some reason, we have had a history of Symantec programs being incompatible with CellQuest. We tried using Norton AntiVirus several years ago on our older Quadra 650s and on a Power PC running MacOS 7.6.1 and CellQuest 3.1 and wound up with numerous system errors and lockups when we tried to run CellQuest - there were no problems when Cellquest was not present. We found that Norton DiskLock (a security program) was not compatible with CellQuest, and we currently can't use the background functions in Norton Utilities on our PowerPCs (MacOS 8.X, CellQuest ver.3.2) without numerous system errors occuring while we are running CellQuest. Again, the Norton programs run fine when CellQuest is not present or actively running. Our only solution has been to use McAfee virus software, which seems to have no problems.
