Hi all,

I've just experienced the exact same problem as Daniel Hirons had in my
activated Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. I've been using activated Norton
360 for the past few months now with no problems so far, when earlier today I
was alerted with a Windows Security Center notification. I checked the
Security Center to find two red alerts: one relating to Windows Firewall
turned off; the other, to lack of virus protection as well as Windows
Defender turned off. This is strange as these warnings have appeared in spite
of Norton 360 on green condition, stating that my PC is being protected;
Windows Defender also gives a thumbs up, stating that my "computer is running
normally". This is the first time I have received such warnings and as I try
turning on Windows Defender, I am informed that there are no new updates
available at the moment and the program remains not functioning. So what I
did was I ran System Restore twice: one to the latest Windows Update restore
point; the other to the latest System Scheduled restore point. However, both
attempts have resulted with failure, saying that windows settings have not
been restored.

Just as additional points, I am quite a fan of utorrent and downloading
numerous programs, with caution of course, and my wife is quite an online
game addict. Most of the time I'm online, connected through DSL with an
Edimax router. Additionally, I have two other spyware protection (not
real-time) which I've downloaded from download.com and run them rather
occasionally for safety.

I hope I will soon receive some help since at the moment I am quite loyal to
Norton 360. I could have transfered to ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.1
but I find that it takes too much time to load on startup and has caused me
to lose connection to the internet.

Thanks in advance for any help
