Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

Why would performance monitoring be disabled?

[Bombastus]

You don't have to disable it at all if you don't want to. Some, like me, do because we aren't interested in what Norton considers to be high resource usage; in 99 out of 100 cases for me it reports high resource usage of something I want to use a lot of resources, like a demanding game for example, or something that I would rather have use a lot of resources and be done fast rather than use less and take forever. It's not a security-related feature, and I use Norton for security, not for performance alerts. But if you want the feature and feel that it is useful, go ahead and keep it enabled.

No it turned off on its own. And my windows gadget says "at risk" but when I open the gadget it says "secure"
