Norton Internet Security should be included in the list of startup programs?

I use Vista Home premium 32-bit with SP2 for Vista
Norton Internet Security 2010 v 17.8.0.5

When I go to:
Run > msconfig > Start Up Programs

I don't see anything there about Norton or Symantec.
I see it running in the list of services, but NOT in the list of the startup programs
I have Norton Internet Security has the value 'early charge', so it shouldn't be in the list of startup programs?

I swear I saw him in programs before starting.

Must show in the start up programs?

The entries you see in the list of services are service installed to work with the Internet Services of Norton. They are not in the program.

Have you tried looking in Autoruns?

To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
 http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • Preloaded Norton Internet Security 2011 crashes Windows 7

    My 6620 Pavilion came preloaded with Norton Internet Security 2011 - who works in isolation, but causes of the accidents and crashes when any other software infringes on its ares of operation. It is not always clear what are these competing programs.  For a while, something was inviting Norton to run "Background Operations" almost continuously and at intensities higher until the CPU would be muffled and the machine refused to respond to anything.

    I see it now.   Model came out about 1 year - guess it was late at night the day Expert when I was looking for this upward and I was a little bleary - eyed.   I guess it's the old stock or device refurbished if you have only had it for 3 weeks.

    I did not talk about the problems that would cause Norton to crash the system as you said.   If the system stay up long enough - I would try a number of things.

    First - go to Control Panel / programs and uninstall Norton.   Get Windows 7 running stable, maybe run Microsoft Windows Update, get the latest updates on.   Then go to the folder start/programs/recovery manager to launch the Recovery Manager to do a reinstall of the software program - Symantec Norton Internet Security should be one of the options.  Choose an application recovery - and you'll find Norton.

    Norton package still has a 60-day subscription to when you installed first, however.

    You could opt to use a different antivirus package if you wish.  For most of my friends and family think I help set their PCs for - I usually opt to accompany Security Essentials Microsoft, especially since it's free - but it seems to work pretty well.   You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials if you are interested.

  • Is it possible to recover hundreds of mails that have disappeared from my Inbox after it has been quarantined today by Norton Internet Security?

    I received an infected email this morning which resulted in Norton Internet Security quarantine inbox. All received emails are gone now from the Inbox (with the exception of two who apparently arrived just before the infected message).
    (1) is it possible to recover the E-mails lost without re-infection of the Inbox?
    (2) how can I avoid this happening again? Until today, the infected emails have simply removed by Norton Internet Security on arrival without all the previous messages being lost in the Inbox.
    I would be very grateful for help.

    you force Nortons of UN-setting in the file quarantine.
    Then, you create an exception for Norton analyzes the folders that contain your Thunderbird profile, so it is not repeated.

    Be aware that the infection is not as severe as the cure. Maybe you can find someone to Semantec to explain how an email in Thunderbird can infect anything unless you physically open an infected attachment that Norton should catch when it is written in the temp folder before opening.

    I lost a lot of time talking to corporate cretins to Semantec and they charge just "this is another line of defense" when asked for more details. Why, because they can simply justify not e-mail Scanner in any other terms. Enjoy it servers little or not by the challenges of usability and convenience.

    This "mail" was written on your drive hard until Semantec has managed to make a mess of things. It's a little late don't you think saying "you have an infection. Do they expect also for stuff in your browser to be written on the disc? You bet they do. Where is the preventive surveillance to data transmissions that prevents infection before it is written on your drive?

  • Qosmio G30 freezes at startup of Norton Internet Security 2008

    Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer because soon, it attempts to load and the only way to do is to restart the system by pressing the on/off key.

    My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and pre-installed NIS2007. I have no problem with this NIS2008 version on my other laptop (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
    NIS2007 works well on my G30 and I have no problems at all, but more recent versions of NIS seem to be in conflict with my system:

    1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjusting the settings. Maybe, a couple days later my computer freezes after start in exactly when the NIS tray icon appears. For a few seconds there is simply no response of the system at all and the LED of my laptop show that any HD activity has ceased. After having been inactive during those seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a huge noise that I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was operating at 100% for a while due to other programs. Force a reboot, that's all I can do.

    2. now, this time, I rebooted my laptop successfully even once (took a few attempts) and it all of a sudden not freeze. Then I disabled the firewall and auto-protect at all times, so there was no freezing at startup and I just had to enable both the firewall and auto-protect after start manually. In order to avoid the gel again after the reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For one or two days of workaround has been quite successful.

    3. all of a sudden, after one or two days, this work around will become useless, because the system begins to freeze again at the time of the icon is displayed. In this case, restart has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent form from NIS to ccApp.exe run automatically at startup (administrative tools > system configuration > "Startup" tab). It's successful and my laptop is able to start normally, but if later I try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.

    I had this problem since NIS2008 just came out, so I thought that at the same time an update Windows or Norton may have solved the problem, but this weekend I gave another NIS2008 trying without success. I'm pretty sure that the problem is not caused by other software than Windows or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, so I've only preinstalled NIS2007 and Vista on my laptop. I use Norton removal tool and follow the instructions to uninstall before attempting to install the new version of course.
    My last hope was that the version of NIS2009beta somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to start 2008 or version 2009beta, the problem is exactly the same.

    What really motivates me almost crazy is the fact that NIS works perfectly for a while, then needs enough small workaround, and then after some time completely refuses to work. In these two days I do not change system settings, install or uninstall programs or doing whatever it is that I felt might conflict with NIS...
    So far, I have no idea of the solution and have again use NIS2007.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    To be honest I don t use the Norton internet security because it slows down the performance of the laptop and he needs too many resources.
    I used the NIS06 and after several months of use I removed it from my system for the reasons mentioned above.

    I put really know what might be a problem with your Norton Internet Security but I guess its associated software question maybe there are a few compatibility issues with vista and NIS08. Who knows...

    In my opinion, you should first check the Symantec Web site for more details.
    Maybe these questions are mentioned somewhere in the FAQ section and maybe some updates or patches are available.

  • Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically close Windows Defender? __

    My set up:

    Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, Vista SP2

    HP Desktop

    Modem DSL Connection

    Norton Internet Security 2010

    I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010. I get a pop up notice of Windows indicating that Windows Defender is disabled. When I had Norton Antivirus/spyware 2008 (that I used until the installation of Norton Internet Security 2010) Windows defender was on, but not in real time.  Then, when I'd go to

    The Task Manager > click on the Services tab > click on the Services button in the lower right

    This will display a list of Services. I scroll down and find the Windows Defender Service

    It shows NOT on and manual start

    Before the instalation of Norton Internet Security 2010, it has shown as Started and startup type automatic

    Is this the right setting with Norton Internet Security installed? I do not use Windows Defender, but I read that the Windows Defender Service is responsible for other things in addition to anti-spyware scanning.

    So should I change the startup type?

    and start the service?

    Or, as I said if I don't use it. leave it alone?

    Q. "Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically closes Windows Defender?"

    A. Yes.  It uses its own antispyware software.  Having two different types will result in conflicts and compatibility issues.

  • Bundled Norton Internet Security

    Hey guys

    How to reinstall Norton Internet Security which was packaged with a Toshiba laptop. No CD have been provided and I can't find the product numbers...

    Hello

    Norton Internet Security is a part of the installation image and it is not distributed on separate CD. With separate CD, it will be possible to install it on every computer or laptop again. There is also no number for this product.

    This software is just limited edition, and you can use it for a short period. It's some kind of warranty given by Toshiba for users and if you purchase the unit you will be protect from the first moments of the laptop use. He later is your decision what software you want to use. If you want to use Norton for a long time, you must save it and buy a license.

  • Norton Internet Security 2012

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion g7_2017 laptop, in Windows 7-64 bit. It is installed with Norton Internet Security 2012.  Norton is configured to run automatically when the computer is turned on.  I think it takes a very long time for Norton at startup.  It takes more than 5 minutes to load once I connect to Windows (this is the amount of time it takes for me to see the icon Norton appear in the Windows system tray).  In comparison, the computer I use at work, who uses Kapersky, I noticed that Kapersky starts immediately.  No one else noticed that Norton Internet Security also takes a lot of time at startup?

    Thank you.

  • My Norton toolbar became deleted somehow. I need it for my Norton Internet security function Auto Fill will work. How can I get that back in the menu bar?

    My Firefox browser page to have a Norton Safe Search Bar within the toolbar area. He must be active on this subject otherwise the function AutoComplete passwords for sites Web I visit - who have need of my username AND password - is not populated automatically by the software Norton Internet Security 2011 that I have on my computer.
    My Question: HOW to make this search bar of Norton on my Firefox browser Page?

    I use Norton 360 institutions and would allow the two Add-ons of Norton (see below) when I upgraded to Firefox 8.0:

    • Norton Toolbar 2011.7.3.6; and
    • Symantec IPS 3.2.

    In your case, since you have used before, add-ons can still be installed, you should just allow them, as if I had to do. 8.0 Firefox automatically disables modules.

    To see if the modules above are still installed, you can:

    • go to \Firefox\Add-ons;
    • Click Extensions;

    .. .and you should find them there. If this isn't the case, you need to install. You can use the links that Daniel and the-edmeister provided above.

    It is unlikely that RealPlayer is keep a copy separate from your photos. It is probably just reference your pictures folder. In this case, you can just uninstall RealPlayer.

    Everything you deleted must be in your Recycle Bin unless you have emptied. If this isn't the case, you can try this program freehttp://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva . The chances of getting them back are reduced more you use your computer.

    You should keep a copy of your data on an external hard drive. What would you do if your computer crashed or was stolen?

  • Windows Defender and Norton Internet Security? What are the differences, and that I would be better off with NIS.___NIS it has automatic connections which is great.___Thank you. Dennis__

    None

    Windows Defender is an antispyware software.  In itself, it does not all the protection your computer needs.

    Norton Internet Security is a suite of programs, including antivirus, antispyware, firewall, antispam and others.

    Windows 7 consumer security software providers shows those and other opportunities.

    I'm not a fan of security suites.  On my computer, I use the free program of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and antispyware protection integrated in Windows 7 is Windows Firewall .
