Application error after moving to Symantec 11

[Evan Platt]

Have you tried a full uninstall of Symantec?

Most Symantec apps embed themselves so deep in the computer, and yes, 
I've seen a number of instances with Symantec software causing 
problems where a 'disable' actually has no effect.

If you're worried, take the computer off the network, uninstall 
Symantec, reboot, potentially reinstall Pidgin, then rerun pidgin, 
see if the problem goes away.
