Symantec AntiVirus

I've upgraded to the 10.2.0.276 version of Symantec AV, which is what I was
told to do so that I could finally run it, but now I can't enable
auto-protect. I'll turn it on and then it'll turn itself back off in about
5-10 seconds. Anyone know how to fix this?

Kathleen,

seriously, the simplest method, remove the Symantec a/v from Vista Beta.

if not, continued troubles will remain causing you mental anguish and
possibly blaming Vista for the troubles caused by the Symantec a/v.

give Vista Beta a chance for self proving its incredible security, on-line
or off-line.

If I were I would try to reinstall it and see how you go with it

if it still keeps giving you trouble I would look around for another A/V
application there are many out there that will run just fine on vista
regardless of wether or not your running a Beta version of Vista or the RTM
version

but as 1Enquiring suggested I would not leave it up to vista's in built
security that is simply BAD advice seeing vista has no built in virus
detection ability

will,

please do not make post when you have absolutely NO knowledge of Vista's
self ability for providing the greatest self-defense of security Threats.

Symantec makes good products. the problem, "currently" they are not truly
certified compatible with Vista and cause so many needless conflict issues
for Vista.

take a few minutes and research the below URLs for learning what currently
you are not aware, please.

also, the below URLs are intended for getting you motivated for personally
researching Vista.

the below URLs are just a small portion of 200+ Microsoft Articles regarding
Vista, please do not limit your personal research to just the below URLs,
keep researching Vista for learning what remains for you learning.

additionally, scan the General Discussion Forum for locating the many Posts
inquiring and asking why does my third party a/v not work with Vista.

Kathleen,

Symantec makes good products. the problem, "currently" they are not truly
certified compatible with Vista and cause so many needless conflict issues
for Vista, as does the others similar to Symantec.

1Enquiring you miss the whole point you speak of Vista's security features
that isn't the same as Virus protection
Vista has no inbuilt virus protection at all
Sure defender will stop Trojans and other Malware and Uac will stop unwanted
programs from installing

But that does not change the fact that Vista has no inbuilt Virus protection
a third party Anti Virus application will always be needed.

If you feel your safe from Viruses by only relying on Vista's security
features then thats up to you but don't tell people here that they will be
protected from viruses by relying on Vista's security features alone

your post leads me to believe your trying to get trolls to bite

1Enquiring none of those URLS you have listed relate to Virus protection at
all, They all relate to security
Security and Virus protection are two very different issues

Virus protection keeps your system free of Viruses
Security features limit the damage to an already infected system and guard
against Trojans, Spyware, Adware, and other types of security threats.

will,

there is no possible way that you could have fully researched *all* the
provided URLs during the last few moments.

please, for your benefit, research not only the previously provided URLs,
research the additional 200+ Vista related Articles provided by Microsoft.

then, if you desire debating the designers and developers of Vista using
personal dogmatic values, have at it...

it's your decision, learn Vista's Security Features, or merely be dogmatic.

for you benefit, below is a current (copy-and-paste) Post by another

Here is my point

In the above item you pasted it relates to "Bloated internet security
suites" The original question in this thread related to "Anti Virus"
Since when has "bitlocker" "defender" "Uac" become a replacement for an Anti
Virus Program ?
If your talking about Bloated programs like Norton's internet security I
fully agree with you Vista has most of those componenmts built in thuse
there is no need for internet security suites.
However Vista has no inbuilt Anti Virus even if there's no need for an all
in one third party application there will always be a need for a good third
party A/V program

And it's very foolish to suggest to anyone that Vista has Anti virus covered
and that people will be protected against Viruses by Vista's security
features.

You have given me 200+ articles all relating to security
But I challenge you to show me one article that suggests Vista has a Virus
scanning ability
