Somehow disabled Norton auto protect...

[HeXploiT]

I was messing around with some services the other day and i somehow disabled Norton antivirus auto protect and can't get it to start again. I have all the norton services(that i know of) set to auto-start and still nothing. There are simply too many services to go through and enable them all. That would make for a huge task i'm not prepared for. I've tried using system restore and i even installed NA 2004 and can't get it to autostart either. Anyone know what i might be missing?

did you simply disable it within the NAV application?

 

[HeXploiT]

No it was through the system configuration utility services section.

Un/Reinstall

The Norton icon should be in your task bar. Just right click it and select enable auto protect.

Naturally clicking enable was the first thing i tried and nothing. Tried uninstall/reinstall and it still isn't working. It will do manual scans but that's all. It must be some windows component that affects NA.

i am so sorry to tell you that you have broken xp it happens with norton a lot. i would use setup to just reinstall the os not format just reinstall you will have to go back and install everything again.live and learn and BE CAREFULL wilst messing with the root of the os.

Why would you want to? Seriously, Norton is the best way to hose your computer.

Lol. Very funny. Sorry but xp was broken from the moment i got it.

glugglug- It was an accident. I love my Norton stuff and i've been using it since Dos. I would never do such a thing on purpose. I'm a fairly experienced operator and i am almost certain it was not one of the symantic apps themselves that i disabled. It was something else that's affecting NAV, i just don't know what.

check your services again. run msconfig and make sure that ccapp.exe, navappsvc.exe, nvsvc32.exe, nprotect.exe are running and autostarted within msconfig or registry. i disabled it thinking i did not need the service before and it made norton stop autoprotecting.
