"notify me but don't automatically download or install them".

HI

I have norton av, if i go in the sercurity centre and change automatic updates to "notify me but don't automatically download or install them ".

My anti virus icon changes from a green tick to an orange cross, telling me to fix this, if i do fix this it will put me back to automatically recieve updates
Can i just ignore this.

And have "notify me but don't automatically download or install them ".

 

Yes you can change it to "notify me" but take notice when it says some updates are available.

In fact its my preferred option as I download all the updates directly from MS & save them for future use.

 

that sounds ok, so i should just leave the norton anti virus icon with the orange cross on it, as i thought it was a warning

 

That is a good point, not well up on this topic, but just been looking around
Can only find this at the moment.

Norton security online
version 10.2.0.30
for bt yahoo broadband.

Thanks i have also found this, and got that "orange" exclamation mark of the norton icon in the taskbar, its back to a green tick

 

A lot of people don't like norton, because of the resources it uses, but because this is included in the package i have got use'st to it.

I have just been looking in the help pages, there are a lot of interesting things in there, which i have not really bothered with.

so i surpose having any anti -virus on your computer, is worth taking time out to understand, what it is doing, and what you should do if things go wrong.
Which is why i am going to do just that.

One more thing though, a couple of weeks ago i had that "malware" "antivirus pro plus " on my computer, norton did not pick it up, superantispyware did pick a few things up, but in the end malware bytes completly removed it
