Is this a joke? Can't lock to prevent further changes?

Well, I installed my NAV 11 on MB Leopard and I am not able to lock Status and Scanning and Automatic Protection.  The little lock bounces back open on its own ... Is this a (bad) joke Symantec?

This has been widely discussed in the 4.1 changes - lock behavior changed for antivirus thread.

It was added as a convenience for Administrators, but due to popular demand, Symantec will be changing it back to its original behavior.

So, no, it's not a joke ;)

Thanks for bouncing back. In my humble opinion it is a fundamental security flaw in a "security" program ... kind a like leaving the key in the lock ... Drew
