-- Posted by speedy66 at 1:27 pm on May 20, 2005 My mom's computer has Norton AV 2004 installed- and until 2 days ago she has had no problems.. The subscription has been expired for quite some time, but just 2 days ago security alerts from norton began popping up ...repeatedly.  The alert states: Your computer is at risk in the following areas: -virus protection is out of date. Open your Norton Product to resolve these issues. and a box that you can check which says" Do not share Norton Security Status with other products" When OK is clicked, the alert pops up again in approximatley 5 seconds..every single time. It is driving me insane!>! What should I do to fix this?  I don't think I want to simply pay for a new subscription...this alert has pissed me off quite a bit so I don't think I'm going to give Norton any more of my money. -- Posted by oskar at 1:30 pm on May 20, 2005 well dont click ok dumass -- Posted by speedy66 at 1:33 pm on May 20, 2005 ....without clicking ok the alert remains on the screen..can't close it any other way -- Posted by pleaseremove at 1:55 pm on May 20, 2005 open up the config panel, goto options, then click on "liveUpdate. on the left and then uncheck the three tick boxes. that should do it -- Posted by speedy66 at 9:58 am on May 21, 2005 I unchecked those boxes...yet somehow the alert remains.  it must be possessed. -- Posted by steel at 11:14 am on May 27, 2005 Try re-installing.. norton is a pain .. my suggestion, go for kaspersky (you probably never heard about it) but beleive me.. it is by far the most advanced antivirus software i have seen -- Posted by speedy66 at 5:47 pm on May 30, 2005 Quote: from steel at 1:14 pm on May 27, 2005 Try re-installing.. norton is a pain .. my suggestion, go for kaspersky (you probably never heard about it) but beleive me.. it is by far the most advanced antivirus software i have seen You are right..
