Norton product alerts and turn off redundant windows. Security centre

You should try the first link I gave you. It's from Symantec. In any case, if you can go here:
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.symantec.com/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.symantec.com/index.htm</a>
go to Knowledge Base and find your issue there.

That's the same page you gave a link to earlier. It addresses the
specific situation of a one-time alert, but the OP has a recurring
alert.

I have a similar one, and it's annoying: "Norton Anti-Virus is
Disabled" (or similar) -- it lasts about a second and then slides
down too quickly for me to read the text. I check in Norton and
it's enabled -- in fact the background scan display updates while I
watch.

I've gor NAV Full Version 9.0.0.338, according to "Help: About". I
wish I could get rid of that POS, but my college requires it as a
condition of connecting a personal machine to the network.

Tried it -- I couldn't find anything that related to my problem.

I'd like to murder the idiot who thoughf up self-disappearing
notifications. I can't even give the exact wording of the message
because it doesn't stay around long enough for me to grab a pencil
and copy it.

It pops up a couple of times a day, with no particular pattern
relating to what programs I'm running or whteher I'm connected to
the Net.

Hi,

I have been puzzled by a similar msg that slides past in the right
bottom corner of the screen which APPEARED to say that Norton was
disabled. I checked out all settings for my Systemworks Premier 2005 but
everything seemed o.k.

On reflection: could it be that when you disable XP's native firewall,
it will give you this msg becuase it doesn't realise you have Nortons
product installed?

Cheers,
L.M.Huesch

Symantec Knowledge Base
We're Sorry ...

An error has occurred in the Symantec Knowledge Base.

This error will occur if you try to open a document for a discontinued
product.

For discontinued enterprise products, click here.
For discontinued consumer products, click here.

This error can also be due to a temporary problem with our servers.
Please try again later.

If you you are trying to access a document from the Symantec
Fax-On-Demand system, it is temporarily unavailable.




Thats what the first link gives me.

Thats no help to me.

I copy/paste from my first link:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symantec Security Alert appears after running LiveUpdate or installing XP Service Pack 2
Situation:
After you run LiveUpdate, install Windows® XP Service Pack 2, or install a Norton 2005 security product, a Symantec Security Alert appears.


Solution:



Before you begin: This page is about one specific situation: You see a Symantec Security Alert immediately after you run LiveUpdate, install Windows® XP Service Pack 2, or install a Norton 2005 security product. You will see this type of Symantec Security Alert one time only and the first line of text is "Your computer security is monitored by:."

If you see a Symantec Security Alert later and first line of text is "Your computer is at risk in the following area," read A Symantec Security Alert states that "Your computer is at risk. . ."


More specifically, when does this alert happen?
You are using Windows XP and one of these lines is true:
You are running Service Pack 2 and LiveUpdate downloads and installs the current Norton Windows Management Instrumentation Update (WMI) for a Norton 2002/2003/2004 security product. The security product could be Norton AntiVirus 2002/2003/2004, Norton Internet Security 2002/2003/2004, or Norton Personal Firewall 2002/2003/2004.
You are running Service Pack 2 and you install a Norton 2005 security product.
You install Windows XP Service Pack 2 on a computer that already has a Norton 2004 or 2005 security product installed.

Read the section for the products that you have installed.



Norton 2002/2003/2004 products
The Norton Windows Management Instrumentation Update (WMI) is available for Norton 2002/2003/2004 security products. This is an updated version of the Norton WMI that was released previously.

When the updated version is installed on a Windows XP computer running Service Pack 2 (whether or not the WMI was previously installed)

or

You install Windows XP Service Pack 2 on a computer that already has a Norton 2002/2003/2004 product installed

the following dialog box displays:



Notes:
This picture shows what you would see if you have Norton Internet Security 2004 (which includes Norton AntiVirus) installed. If you have only Norton AntiVirus installed, you will not see the words "Use my Norton Internet Protection instead of Windows Firewall."
If you see a security alert that differs from what is shown here, you may not have the current version of the Norton WMI Update. Run LiveUpdate and download all available updates. Continue running LiveUpdate until there are no other updates available.

When the Symantec Security Alert appears after installation or upgrade as mentioned above, you will see one or both of the following check boxes:


To prevent duplicate security status alerts, use my existing Norton product alerts and turn off redundant Windows Security Center alerts. (Recommended).

If you leave this box checked (which we recommend) it will suppress duplicate security status alerting from the Windows Security Center. The Norton software will rely on its own security status alerting to provide details on the security status of your Norton security software.
If you uncheck this box, security status alerts from the Windows Security Center will appear in addition to alerts from your Norton security products.


Use my Norton Internet Protection instead of Windows Firewall. (Recommended)

This turns off the Windows firewall and allows Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall to provide your firewall protection. (It is not necessary nor recommended to run two software firewalls on the same computer at the same time.)


Norton 2005 products
The Norton Windows Management Instrumentation Update (WMI) is included in Norton 2005 security products. When you install a Norton 2005 security product on a Windows XP computer running Service Pack 2, or you install Service Pack 2 on a computer that already has a Norton 2005 security product installed, the following dialog box displays
When the Symantec Security Alert appears after installation or upgrade as mentioned above, you will see one or both of the following check boxes:

Do not share Norton security status with other products (Recommended)
Checked: When this option is checked, Symantec is responsible for reporting on the status of the Norton security programs installed on your computer.
Unchecked: When this option is unchecked, you do not receive Symantec Security Alerts to alert you when your Norton programs are disabled or out of date.

Use my Norton Internet Protection instead of Windows Firewall. (Recommended)

This turns off the Windows firewall and allows Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall to provide your firewall protection. (It is not necessary nor recommended to run two software firewalls on the same computer at the same time).

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviusly, the displays are not shown.

It could be, except that I have XP's native firewall enabled. Smile

After posting my rant, I kept pencil and paper next to my computer.
The exact message is
  Symantec Antivirus
  Auto-Protect is Disabled

I searched at Symantec's site; nada. I Googled the Web and the
newsgroups; nada. Last night I posted a query to alt.comp.anti-
virus with the message as subject line. I'll report back here if I
gat any useful replied.

And unfortunately I got no useful replies there either.

I wish I could uninstall Symantec and install a better product, but
my college?s IT department insists on Symnatec. Sigh.
