error 2 when registering socket filter...your system may not be fully protected

I get the following message during boot after installing Comcast version of the protection suite.

 

error 2 when registering socket filter...your system may not be fully protected.

 

What does this mean?  Is the protection not fully enabled?  I didn't encounter any problems during the install.

 

Thanks,

Chris

What version of Mac OS X are you using?

 

What Comcast provides is a NIS 4/NAV 11 for Mac version, which definitely won't work on OS X Lion.

 

Unfortunately for Comcast customers, the software it offers has been out-of-date for almost a year now, with no update in sight.  It's probably a licensing issue having to do with Symantec charging customers for its OS X Lion upgrade.
