if i have norton

if i have norton

loaded on my laptop why does it keep saying i have no virus protection???

Re: if i have norton

Go to the security centre in the control pannel and set virus protection to not monitored.

That should sort it out.
I'm still working on that pm btw.

Re: Re: if i have norton

the virus protection bit isn't there

cheers

Is Security Centre there?
Do u run XP?

Re: Re: Re: Re: if i have norton

i run on xp & security centre is there

i'm so silly i can't even do u a screen dump to show u what i mean

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: if i have norton

Ok.. open security centre.. what options are available to you?

There should be 3 options..

Firewall
Automatic Updates
Virus Protection..



If you click on the 3 downward arrows on the right hand side of virus protection it should expand..

Click on recommendations..

it's not set out like yours but there are 4 options

internet options
automatic updates
norton security centre
windows firewall

Is there a little Norton Icon next to your clock?

yes...got it up now & it says no virus protected detected on the top line with a clicky button to press for solutions to that

What solutions does it offer?

it tells me to click a link to get protected & then it offers to sell me.....

i can't get the link to work

Did your subscription to norton run out?
If so.. try uninstalling then reinstalling norton.. But only if you have to.

But before you try that.. right click on the norton icon and see if you can enable auto-protection..

I'm running 98 here so I'm kinda doing this blind

erm...i don't think so...i bought a pack when i bought my lappy but didn't install it til about 2 or 3 weeks ago

Your gonna but try restarting the laptop..
This sometimes used to happen at work for no apparent reason too..

Also.. do you have Word on the machine your using? (completely unrelated..)

it's coming up evertime i switch my lappy on so it's not that...will try uninstalling & re-installing i tagain

yup...it has some fancy things on word too

I really don't like norton.
I've been using 98 since.. erm 98.. and its been fine!

The reason I asked about word was cos I'm gonna have to send you a word file to help you with ripping the footage off the dvd and uploading it..

I've also got a few programs for ya too!
Bet you wish you'd never asked..

no no all is well my dear & thankyou....

you will probs regret saying you'd help

Tis no problem ruth me dear..

Norton is bot, you want to get zone alarm! Had no problems since i got rid of norton!
