Turn off Auto-Protect temporarily
If you have not changed the default option settings, Auto-
Protect loads when you start your computer to guard
against viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and other
malicious threats. It checks programs for viruses as they
are run and monitors your computer and removable
media for any activity that might indicate the presence of
a virus. When a virus or virus-like activity is detected,
Auto-Protect alerts you.
In some cases, Auto-Protect may warn you about a virus-
like activity that you know is not the work of a virus. If
you will be performing such an activity and want to avoid
the warning, you can turn off Auto-Protect.
w If you have set a password for Options, Norton Internet
Security asks you for the password before you can view
or change the settings.
