SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade your computer to Windows Millennium Edition (Me) from Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition, the Norton AntiVirus 2000 Auto-Protect feature may not work. This behavior occurs even if the feature was working before the upgrade.

RESOLUTION

To run the Auto-Protect feature in the background, restart the computer:
  1. Click Start, click Shut Down, click Restart from the list, and then click OK.
  2. If the NAV Auto-Protect icon does not appear in the taskbar after you restart the computer, repeat step 1.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
