Author Topic:   Norton Anti-Virus Alert matt unregistered posted 03-20-2002 05:13 AM               Every time I start the iScreensaver application - automatically installed in the Apple Menu - I get an alert from Norton Anti-Virus: "Norton Auto-Protect Virus-like Activity. NAV detected an attempt to create or modify an application. The file affected is 'iScreensaver'. The currently active application is 'iScreensaver'. [Deny] [Remember] [Allow] " This also happens when the Mac starts with the iScreensaver "Load program at startup" activated. When I distribute my screensaver I DO NOT want to have this kind of alerts on my recievers Macs. Please tell my how to avoid ALL these kind of security alerts – if not possible, please tell me which security-applications the iScreensaver application affects and how. Thank you IP: Logged iScreensaver Support Administrator Posts: 602 Registered: Jun 2000 posted 03-20-2002 08:48 AM             This is either a false alarm by NAV, or else your system may be infected by a virus. Which version of NAV are you using? Which version of MacOS are you using? Have you turned on any additional NAV warnings other than the default one? IP: Logged matt unregistered posted 03-22-2002 05:26 AM               - I use NAV 6.0 - The system is not infected by any virus/ii. - MacOS 8.6 and MacOS 9.1 - I have not turned on any additional NAV warnings.

Please report your troubles to Symantec and maybe they can help you fix it. IP: Logged
