Monitoring the protection status of a feature

The Norton Internet Security main window acts as a security management

interface. You can access the main features and monitor the performance of your

computer from the main window.

At times, you may want to turn off any option for a particular purpose. But by

doing so, the status of your system changes to Attention or At Risk. In such

cases, you can ignore the protection status of a particular feature to maintain a

healthy overall system status. For example, you want to turn off Browser

Protection for a limited period, and you still want the system status to be Secure.

In this case, you can ignore the protection status of Browser Protection and

then, turn off the option. When you ignore the protection status of a feature, it

does not affect the overall System Status.

You can also monitor the protection status of the feature that has been ignored

at any time.

You can ignore or monitor the protection status of only selected features that

are available in the Advanced window.

The features are:

1 Antivirus

1 Antispyware

1 SONAR Protection

1 Smart Firewall

1 Intrusion Prevention

1 Email Protection

1 Browser Protection

1 Safe Surfing

To monitor the protection status of a feature

In the Norton Internet Security main window, click Advanced.

In the window that appears, move your mouse pointer over the feature name.
