About Norton CrashGuard 3.0

Norton CrashGuard and Norton Anti-Freeze protect your computer from crashes and freezes.

Crash protection

Norton CrashGuard runs in the background and monitors your system for crashes. If one of your applications crash, CrashGuard traps the error and takes control of the situation. CrashGuard displays a dialog box in which you can choose to either close the application or try to fix the error, at least long enough for you to save the data in your application.

CrashGuard protects you from crashes in both 16-bit and 32-bit applications.

Freeze protection

Sometimes applications do not actually crash, they just freeze [image] they stop responding to input from you and Windows. Norton CrashGuard protects you from frozen applications, too.

When you notice that an application is not responding, use Norton Anti-Freeze to unfreeze the program.

About System Check

System Check performs a comprehensive scan of your computer by grouping together all of the scans you need to keep your computer running smoothly under one button. When it finishes scanning your computer, it shows you the errors and problems it found, presenting the best solution to correct each problem.

About Auto Check

Norton CrashGuard Deluxe continuously protects your computer with Auto Check. These scans find and fix the errors on your computer before they become problems. And although the same scans run when you use System Check, Auto Check protects your computer automatically. As long as you see its icon in the system area of your taskbar, Auto Check is monitoring your computer.

Scan with Auto Check
To scan with Auto Check

Auto Check finds the errors and problems on your computer automatically, and if you would like it to, fixes them automatically as well. And because Auto Check was designed to use very little of your computer’s resources, there is no need to schedule when Auto Check runs. By default, Auto Check runs once per day.

Each time you start your computer, Auto Check starts automatically and places its icon in the system area of the taskbar. Auto Check’s icon changes depending on what state Auto Check is in, whether it is idle or scanning your computer.

Idle

When Auto Check is not scanning your computer, it icon is a blue check mark

Scanning

When Auto Check is scanning your computer, its icon changes to a green check mark. You can use your computer normally when Auto Check is scanning your computer.

Fixing

When Auto Check is fixing the problems it found on your computer, its icon changes to a yellow check mark.

Need user intervention

When Auto Check finds a problem that needs your immediate attention, its icon changes to a red exclamation point. When you see this icon, close the programs you are using and give Auto Check your full attention.

To view the problems, double-click the Auto Check icon in the taskbar.

Note

The yellow-check mark icon appears only when you configure Auto Check to fix problems automatically.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Fix problems found during scans
To fix problems found during scans

If System Check or Auto Check find problems during a scan, you see the same Problem Details window. Use this window to fix the problems as follows:

1	Use the Group By box to sort the problems by Classification, Severity, or the Scan that found the problem.

2	Select a problem in the left pane of the Problem Details window. Its possible solutions appear in the right pane.

3	Select a solution in the Solutions list. If there is more than one solution in the list, the first solution is the most recommended.

4	Click Fix and wait for CrashGuard Deluxe to fix the problem.

Note

Auto Check fixes the problems it finds automatically unless you specify otherwise. If the Problem Details window is empty, either there were no problems on your computer or Auto Check fixed the problems automatically.

Disabling Auto Check
To disable Auto Check

1	Right-click the Auto Check icon in the Windows taskbar.

2	Select Exit.

Active Memory Virus scan

The Active Memory Virus Scan checks your memory and system files for harmful viruses. The Active Memory Virus Scan always runs first to make sure no viruses exist in memory. If a virus does exist in memory, all other scans stop because a memory virus can replicate itself very quickly on your computer if it is accessed

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Hard Drive Integrity scan

The Hard Drive Integrity Scan inspects your computer's file allocation table for errors. These errors can cause cross-linked files and lost clusters on your hard drive. File allocation errors can cause some programs to crash or prevent them from running at all. These errors might also prevent you from accessing some of your files.

The Hard Drive Integrity Scan finds and corrects these errors so your programs run correctly and you do not lose valuable data.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Virus Defs & Product Update scan

The Virus Defs & Product Update Scan notifies you when your virus definitions are out of date. It also reminds you to check for product updates. The virus definitions contain anti-virus information about late-breaking viruses. This scan keeps your virus definitions up to date so you are not susceptible to newly released viruses.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


File Virus scan

Like the Active Memory Virus Scan, the File Virus Scan searches the files on your computer for viruses, and repairs viruses when it finds them.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Windows Registry scan

The Windows Registry Scan scans specific entries in the Windows Registry file to make sure that they do not cause problems. Because of the nature of the Registry, the scan does not check every entry; but helps eliminate many problems associated with the Registry file. If anything needs to be changed or fixed, Norton CrashGuard Deluxe notifies you and shows you the available options.

Since Registry problems can cause your applications to crash or not run at all, the Windows Registry Scan fixes any errors before problems arise.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Program Integrity Scan

Most Windows programs require information from other files. Programs often contain references that tell them where the other files are kept on your hard drive. The Program Integrity Scan scans these references to make sure that they are correct.

Incorrectly referenced programs crash frequently, if they run at all. The Program Integrity Scan fixes these programs before they inconvenience you.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


LiveUpdate Pro scan

LiveUpdate Pro Scan automatically searches the patch database to see if an update is available for Norton CrashGuard Deluxe. If one exists, the LiveUpdate Pro Scan uses your Internet connection to download the patch. Then it installs the patch automatically. If you do not have an Internet connection, the LiveUpdate Scan prompts you to dial into the Symantec patch database.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Shortcut scans

The Shortcut Scans check your computer for invalid PIF, LNK, and URL files. If the scan finds a bad link, it tries to locate the referenced file. If it cannot find the files, it removes the link.

Since broken shortcuts can cause your computer to run more slowly, the Shortcut Scans optimize your LNK, URL, and PIF files so your computer runs more efficiently.

The Internet Shortcut Scan checks your Internet shortcuts to make sure they are still valid. This scan requires a live Internet connection.

The MS-DOS Program Shortcut Scan checks Program Information Files (.PIF) on your hard disk. PIF files control how MS-DOS applications run under Windows, including their screen appearance and how they manage memory. If there are errors in a PIF file, its associated program might not run correctly.

The Shortcut Scan checks the shortcuts (.LNK files) that reside on your computer, including those on your desktop and in the Start menu.

Low Disk Space scan

The Low Disk Space Scan checks your hard drive to make sure that you have enough room to run your programs. If there is ever less than five percent of your hard drive space free, the scan notifies you. The scan also recommends files that you can delete from your hard drive to give you more space.

When your computer runs low on disk space, a number of problems can occur:

Programs might run more slowly or might not run at all.

Programs might crash.

You might not be able to save the files you are using, and so on.

The Low Disk Space Scan prevents these problems from occurring by alerting you to of your low disk space situation. It also helps you free disk space by helping you find unnecessary files on your hard drive

Hard Drive Optimization scan

The Hard Drive Optimization Scan defragments your hard drive. This increases your system performance and helps prevent crashes caused by over fragmented files.

Click here  [image]  for more information.


Rescue Information scan

The Rescue Information Scan verifies that your Rescue Disk information is current. It prompts you to update your Rescue Disks when the information contained on them becomes out of date.

Your Rescue Disks might help you recover from a serious computer problem, so it is a very good idea to keep your Rescue Disks current.

Finding an Internet provider

The first step of your journey onto the World Wide Web is to find an Internet Service Provider. These providers offer access to the Internet, usually through a system feature called Dial-up Networking. Such providers range in size from large corporations that provide national access to small businesses that only serve a segment of your community. To find an Internet provider, we recommend that you refer to the following resources:

Telephone book yellow pages

Advertisements in the business or technology sections of your local newspaper

Local computer user groups or clubs

Friends or relatives

Online Internet searches

Features to look for in an Internet provider

When you start reviewing Internet providers in your area, you may want to consider the following to ensure you can connect and use the service the way you want:

Does the provider offer a flat monthly rate?

What are the hourly fees?

At what speed can you connect? (Most providers upgrade to higher access speeds as new communications methods become available.)

What is the customer per modem ratio? Most providers use a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio to ensure that most customers can connect when they want to.

How many e-mail accounts are provided for each user’s account?

How much hard disk space is provided online for your storage needs?

What types of licensed Internet software does the provider give you?

Some things you need to connect

Windows (95 and newer, and NT) have built-in support that enables you to connect to an ISP. You need a modem and a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) account with your provider. The provider might also require the following:

User name

Password

Local phone number

Host and domain name

DNS server IP address

Authentication technique

You will need to enter some or all of this information into your system’s Dial-up Networking configuration to connect successfully. If necessary, your ISP can supply an IP address and what is called an IP subnet mask. (These are sets of numbers that uniquely identify your connection to the Internet. These items usually are optional. You should only need them if your provider requires a dedicated IP address each time you connect to the Internet.)

Connect to the world!

Though some of this may seem confusing, rest assured that all good providers will help you set up an Internet connection. You will soon discover that the effort you take now will be well spent. The Internet offers a vast wealth of information that will expand the limits of your imagination. We encourage you to get connected to the Internet today!
