I have my own Symantec Client Firewall and AntiVirus systems and both are enabled (showed on the right bottem corner).
As I know, Windows Security Alert should recognized them and it will shows both firewall and antivirus are enabled under the window security alert system. ( it was like that before).
Today, for some unknown reason, the computer shows " windows security alert" on the right botton corner and states both firewall and anitvirus are disabled , but I also see the symbols which represent firewall and antivirus are enabled.
Then, I go to "windows security alert " to put a check mark on " I have my own firewall and antivirus progrm" , the security alert can go away.....however, when I shut down and open computer agin, the alert comes back...so are they enable? or disable?
Please tell me what to do? Thank you everyone!!

To turn off Security Center alerts
1. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Security Center.
3. In the Security Center, under Resources, click Change the way Security Center alerts me.
4. In the Alert Settings dialog box, clear the Firewall, Automatic Updates, or Virus Protection check boxes, and then click OK.

That's strange, I would update your windows (if it's XP) It might be a patch problem. Your system is secure if you are using a firewall but it wouldn't hurt to update. If you update and it still comes back just ignore it like they said.

Ignore the alerts. Keep the antivirus program updated, by enabling the autoupdate feature .

What version of Norton do you have? You should be able to open it up and configure it by following the programs instructions, one by one. Make sure you check all the "Recommended" boxes. Unless you Norton is an old one and you need to update it.

They are disabled or reporting as disabled. Contact the vendor immediately and get the error rectified

If you annoyed (as I am) and want to disable it then:
Start -> run -> type: MSCONFIG. Go to SERVICES tab and scroll down and find the 'SECURITY CENTER'. Then uncheck it to stop the services.
