I have windows xp.
Under: (Start Symantec AntiVirus Configure File system Auto-Protect Actions Fist Action) there are 4 options in the drop-down menu including clean risk and delete risk.
-What is the difference between clean risk and delete risk?
-Is there any danger in choosing delete risk option?

Thanks

I have had the latest version of Symantec antivirus software on my computer for several months, and up until the past week, the daily scan that I’ve set to occur every morning now doesn’t seem to actually be scanning any files. I’ll go back to my computer several hours after the scan was set to begin and I’ll see the message that either the scan is beginning or that it’s scanning a particular file group, but the scan never actually finishes. It still reads that zero files have been scanned so far, but the message at the top of the Symantec window indicates that a scan is in progress. Before all of this started, it would show a running tally of the number of files scanned while the scan was in progress.

Also, I don’t recall ever having seen any actual malicious files found by Symantec on my computer, although I also run AdAware anti-spyware every few days and it has found files that Symantec has not.

Could both of these things indicate problems with my Symantec files?
I had good results with Symantec on my desktop computer, which is running Windows ME, but I’ve got XP on my laptop, which is the computer in question. I’ve been satisfied with AdAware as far as finding spyware.

What is AVG?
I’m not sure which version I’ve got. I installed it last October. I’ve got Windows XP on my computer. The file version says 14.0.0.89.

I cant find the option on my symantec antivirus where I can add files to not be blocked. Does anyone know how to do this on symantec antivirus? A step by step instruction on what to do would be most beneficial. Thanks!

I have downloaded Symantec Removal Utility File Version 2008.0.1.19. That is what Norton said to use for removal of older versions of Norton. It will not work either.

HOW DO I DELETE MY QUARANTINE FILE?

The pc freezes up as soon as I boot up the computer and will not allow me to get in the control panel to remove one of the programs.

I have already tried the following fix which I found on a pc website:
Boot into Safe Mode, click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the text box, and click OK. Click the Startup tab and look in the Startup Item list for entries that relate to Symantec, Norton, or McAfee. Click the boxes next to these entries to remove the check marks, click Apply, and then click OK. Reboot your computer so that it starts normally, and Windows shouldn’t lock up anymore

The above did not work so I’m back frozen mode again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I unchecked all of the items in the startup list and then tried to reboot pc in normal mode. PC rechecks all startup items when I switch back to normal mode using general tab in sys config. screen. How can I save my changes and reboot in normal mode?
