I'm running Windows XP and Internet Explorer browser.

I installed Norton Antivirus 2007 about a month ago and have noticed several things about it that I don't like compared to the 2006 version.

I constantly experiance a small pop-up from Symantec in the lower right of my screen stating: "A recent attempt on your computer has been blocked". When I check for details I usually find that it has flagged the same incident repeatedly until another occurs. Furthermore, there is really very little to do about such incidents if they are being blocked, thus the pop-up becomes very annoying. It will occur no matter where I am at (on any page) but sometimes will appear only on the desk top. I know this because I've moved the page slightly to observe that corner of the desk top screen. My question is; how do I disable it? I've addressed the issue to Symantec Tech Support but I cannot seem to get them to fully understand the nature of my problem. Any suggestions?

Another thing I've noticed about the 2007 version is that I cannot request a full scan, only a partial scan. I assume that the full scan is done on predetermined schedule. Am I missing here?

Thank you; any suggestion appreciated.have you played with the options?

full scan
I had norton anti 07 for about a week , then GOT read of it , the program itself , is not great , they have spent to much time making it look flashy rather than improve there services on the program itself , i had no problem doing a full scan on it though, that is odd , but the POP UPS i had them, it blocked most of my connection so i couldnt get online , i would check your config in the tools menu and unblock and block certain things that you want norotn you allow you access to your internet i had that mesage , RECENT ATTACK every 5 mins , i found out it was a p2p client trying to connect while i was downloading allthough i wont use p2ps anymore ...... im not a fan of norton to be honest.....Free alternatives:

Avast

AVG

Norton RemovalThank guys; I found the full scan, it's not exactally "in your face". I still can't seem to get rid of the pop-up. I think I'll dump NAV2007.

Just one more dumb question: Is there anything I should consider or do to clean up after I uninstall? travel here to completely remove the norton virus..

and get a another antivirus like avgThanks allwelcome

3) Click Intrusion Detection and then click Configure.

Can you tell me what options are available in your Norton Antivirus 2007...apparently I'm using Norton Internet Security 2007 and got the two confused...my bad...

Open your product and look for the Options link....it's there somewhere on the first page you see when the program opens.

Look for and select Antivirus alerts.

Just disable the alerts and save your settings.

If worse comes to worse...you can tell me what you see and I'll walk you through it.
