I'm loading XML using AJAX the team I am working with made a 60 line XML file trying to parse that causes a stack overflow on a new machine. Based on this blog if someone was also running any software made by norton virus software they would experience stack over flows when parsing a 60 line XML file. I'll work on getting the line numbers down and remind people not to install Norton virus.

Hi. I have a little problem. I´ve installed Norton System Works Premium 2006, and I have some Macintosh with Mac OS 9.1 in my network, so I have to use Pc Maclan 9.0.1 in my pc´s in order to obtain full comunication all over my network. Once I installed the Norton version I told you, when I try to connect to any Mac in my network, the Pc just gets blocked and restarted (rebooted). How can I fix this problem???

I did not experience a stack overflow problem until I went from aol dial-up to dsl with my phone company this week. Now when I try to use AIM, I get the overstack messages. I am very confused:0

Same problem as the others with Norton 2006 Upgrade caused stack overflow conditions.

I see many others are having problems with Norton, While my problems started when I upgraded to CA Internet Security Suite. Stack overflow,web pages failing to load and certain flash programs not loading. Is anyone else aware of the issues in CA?

I've never actually been a fan of "Suites". Yours is the second complaint I've
heard on CA's, and I hear that many people have problems with Norton's.

I use CA's anti-virus package, Microsoft's Defender for spyware, and my router
as a firewall. No suite involved. While the packages might differ based on
taste or need, it's this "a la carte" approach that I recommend.

I SOLVER THE PROBLEM

All you have to do is to disable "Ad Blocking" in Internet Security 2006

I have the Norton Systemworks 2003 (EN) program and I am having "Stack Overflow" problems. My
carrier Toast.Net advised me to lower my security
screening which I did to no avail. Any other
recommeded solutions?

Hi. I just copied a free scrolling text applet from one site on the web called JPowered. I incorporated the applet on our website and now for some reason, everytime I would load up the website using Internet Explorer, it gives me the following error:

"stack overflow on line 2".

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Help!

I just ran into this error while adding rollover images to a web page. I located the source of the problem being in the Java Script for the rollovers, though it's not exactly the Java Script because the same rollover images and Java Script work fine on other web pages that I made (in IE). So I'm now looking at my script closer to see if I missed something. I'm guessing it's something as simple as a piece of script that needs to be rewritten, or moved. If I fix it, I'll post again explaining what it was.
