"Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927374

According to this article, this file is intended for Vista users. I
did not upgrade to Vista.

"Introduction:
The Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Microsoft Windows XP
and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 contains the Msdelta.dll file.
The Msdelta.dll file is a library that is part of the Windows Vista
operating system. The Msdelta.dll file exports functionality to
create and apply binary deltas. These deltas are used to
efficiently download updates for Windows Vista. This advanced
compression technology is also suitable for many other differential
compression scenarios.

More Information:
MSDelta is the next generation of the PatchAPI compression
technology that was included in earlier version of the Windows
operating system. MSDelta typically produces smaller deltas than
PatchAPI.

In order to obtain the Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, contact Microsoft Product
Support services. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support
Services telephone numbers and information about support costs,

Also, this article:

Also, in NIS 2009 Security History under Firewall - Network and
Connections, the activity states "Connected to a protected network
(## ## L# C# ## ##). Your computer is currently protect from the
local network. To allow all the computers on this network to
communicate with your computer, in the Actions Panel, click Trust.
To block all the computers on this network from communicating with
your computer, in the Actions panel, click Restrict. This will not
interfere with your other online communications."

Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

No - according to that article it is intended for WIndows XP and
Windows
2003 users. ;-)

APPLIES TO

* Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition

Well, this bit of info says that it is part of the Windows Vista OS. I
have
XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP3.

Update on the USERMAPPING Registry Key: This USERMAPPING is no longer
on
my
Administrator Profile.

I have contacted Norton and they told me that it was a Windows issue
and
that I should contact Microsoft! So I am just getting the runaround!

My XP system has msdelta.dll, and it is dated October of 2006. Sorry,
but
the KB article clearly states that there is a version for XP, and this
statement trumps whatever Norton says.

It seems to me that your experiences are best explained by malware.

Thanks Jim. I guess Norton is not functioning very well in the malware
detection of their internet security. I wonder if it is time to look into
another security software. What has been your experience with internet
security software? Do you have any other security software
recommendations? I
know that I cannot afford the subscription renewal as it is $100 or
something
like that. Thanks so much your input.

I use NOD32, which is not free. I have used AVG in the past, and it is
free. Either one is preferable to Norton.

You should download the NAV removal tool from the Norton website before
doing anything. Once you get the tool, disconnect your computer from the
internet, go to the control panel, select the tab which removes programs,
and select Norton. After that process completes, exercise the Norton
removal tool. Install whichever AV software that you select, and connect
back to the internet.

Now, you should run a full scan.

This process can take some time and may seem complex. But many others have
been down this path without mishap.

Jim
