It happened to me, i managed to fix it, i suggested a fix. Isn't that what you're meant to do?

The same thing happened to me and i fixed it. I uninstalled a spyware program called "RelevantKnowledge" by how you would normally uninstall a program through the control panel > uninstall a program and then just look for the program and uninstall it.

The only options its giving me is to disable auto protect which is what i did before and it did nothing. THE WHOLE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. Turned out it had NOTHING to do with nortons, but i had a spyware program called "RelevantKnowledge" installed onto my computer. I uninstalled that and ta-da works good as new. Thanks for the help everyone. For anyone having the same problem and looking for answers: Control Panel > Uninstall a program Look for "RelevantKnowledge" Uninstall "RelevantKnowledge" Restart computer Profit If you can't find "RelevantKnowledge" this isn't the fix for you friendo

But i don't understand how i was able to play tekkit/technic perfectly before, but now suddenly Nortons is deciding to block the game. I was wondering if there was a way to unblock it (before i delete it) i had a little poke around on google and i can't seem to allow a .jar file through a firewall, and i made a .bat file to start it and allowed that through the firewall but that didn't work either. Because my mother is being annoying and saying "I'll ask our computer tech guy at work" and in the mean time i just thought if there are any other options.

Do you know of a way to disable the whole of Norton without necessarly disabling it forever? The problem is i'm only 15, and my parents wouldn't be too happy if i deleted Norton off the family computer :P

I don't think thats the problem, i temporarily disabled auto protect and it did the exact same thing and froze on the banner.

Yeah i'm sure

Nah i installed it manually, but i did put spc into the minecraft.jar file. But i have deleted the jar file and tried to download a fresh .techniclauncher folder since, but whenever i run the .jar launcher it just freezes at the banner

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.3 Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Java Version: Java 7 Antivirus Program: Norton Description of Problem: When i open up the .jar it loads a little and then comes up with the banner, and then from there the banner freezes. It started when i installed Single Player Commands to technic. When i installed SPC it wouldn't connect to the server, so i ignored it for a while but then I eventually deleted my .techniclauncher folder from %apdata% and tried to install it again. It has been freezing on the banner ever since. Error Messages: N/A Error Log: [18:17:17] [sEVERE] ------------------------------------------ [18:17:17] [sEVERE] Launcher is starting....
