Guest Dubious Dude Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I'm running Windows 2000 professional, SP4, with the corporate version of Symantec AntiVirus, full version 10.0.2.2000. When I log in as administrator, I see that one of the scheduled tasks is Symantec NetDetect, but it is disabled and has never run. I haven't found a way to show when the task was created. Despite it being diabled, Symantec AntiVirus seems to automatically update anyway. Is this scheduled task simply a hold-over from older versions of Symantec AntiVirus?

After much perusing and pulling up the About Symantec Antivirus, it's looking like finding the correct product (thus setting the stage for trying to find the right FAQ) will be somewhat involved. Even their procedure for identifying one's product seems to have no correspondence to what I see. I'll inquire about this in an AV group, if I pick it up at a later date.

Guest Dave Patrick Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Re: Symantec NetDetect scheduled task disabled I gave up on symantec some years back. There support has gone by the way side. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
