From: who on 4 Jun 2010 13:51 A new version was auto-installed recently. It probably reset default settings. You should always deal with issues regarding Norton in the Norton forums, not in some MS group like this.
From: Unknown on 4 Jun 2010 14:44 You credit them but I believe it is YOU that kept your system virus free by not clicking on unknown items. I do not (and won't) use Norton and have never had a virus. The only protection I use is WSE and I installed it fairly recently. "William B.

Note in the thread that Daave corrected my assumption that, because Task Manager said 'System' Norton was not responsible. I refer system problems to this XP group. I have no qualms about beating on Norton to solve problems that I suspect are Norton-related.
