Hello “TweedyTL”,
Quickly, Norton IPS stands for “Norton Intrusion Prevention System”.
“Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a proactive protection technology that provides security at the network level. It is the first line of defense against malware…”
You can find more information about it over there: Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): Your first line... - Norton Community
And the problem you are describing seems to be related to one feature the “Network Security Map”.
It is good to launch this feature. And you can find this feature on the Norton Interface under “Network”.
If you wanted to reinstall Norton and if you had any issue, Norton has a free support that you can reach through different media: Norton Support - Contact Us
I hope this can help.
