When N.P.T.P. Blocks or Allows a Process, it has words in Brackets, such as "(Open Process Token)"; it would be helpful if symantec put a "What's This?" Link in the product and if the user clicks on it, it explains what all of the messages in Brackets mean.

The NPTP feature is used to prevent viruses for disabling Norton, If I remember correctly the message on the brackets in Security History, shows the action taken by a non-Norton process related to a Norton process. I see your point that the text on the parenthesis is very technical, not sure how it can easily translate into plain English without loosing its accuracy. We could give it a try though...
