#3186: another process running in our data directory?
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Anka_tor | Owner: mikeperry
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Tor Browser Bundle for Windows
Component: Tor Browser | Version: Vidalia 0.2.10

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Tor suddenly gave error message it can be started.
Norton Internet security, Windows XP is the background. Upgraded to the
latest TOR from the official website, got the very same message.
The same error was reported earlier (eg. in ticket #1523) but I do not see
recommended action. I guess people de-installs TOR to get rid of the
annoying message. Anyway, I installed the latest version as a reasonable
measure.
tor-browser-1.3.24_en_US.exe downloaded as part of the recommended bundle,
installed on the top of v 1.2
vidalia 0.2.10 Qt 4.6.2

supposedly mmaped in our cache. Is another process running in our data
directory? Exiting.
The experimental version is resulting the same error as the earlier, well-
working one. I guess somebody is intentionally blocking TOR and this
hinder is distributed with automatic updates either in Windows or by
Symantec Norton. Am I suspicious enough?
