Hello gentlemen,

Same has happend to me...

Norton Internet Secureity 2003:
Intrution Detection (option) is locked in OFF mode
When “Turn On button pushed an alert notice pops.
“Failed to save setting. Please verify that your Windows account is not restricted.

I have followed this post and even downloaded extra programs to sweep for the problem. The system is fairly clean but the problem within Norton still persist.

Hi grams79,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We do ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/faq.php?faq=daniweb_faq#faq_rules


Thanks for understanding.

What is the exact error message you get from Norton?

All fixed. :mrgreen:
It was simple... no hacker, no virus and no bugs.
Norton disables itself during a particular update.
It then re-enables after the next update.
Don't ask me why Norton doesn't notify the user about this temp settings change...
The real problem is people updating to a point, then noticing the “Failed to save setting. Please verify that your Windows account is not restricted. message and assuming the worst.
Funny even... :rolleyes:

Thanks for posting your 'solution,' maybe it will help someone else :)

You should get the latest updates for XP and IE (at least SP1). Check out the links below for more tips on keeping your system clean.
