What settings do you guys set in on? Normal, Agressive, or Off
I have noticed setting to Agressive slows boot by about 30 seconds.

Boot Time Protection increases security when you start your computer. A boot time scan is a virus scan that runs before the operating system fully loads. This allows Norton to scan files before they are used by another program or the operating system.
To fully protect your computer during start up, you must configure Boot Time Protection.
Aggressive: provides the highest level of security when you start your computer.
Normal: provides normal security when you start your computer.
Off: Boot Time Protection does not run when you start your computer.

Intelligent Boot-time Protection
We know you need to get to work (or play) quickly when you turn on your PC. But those first few moments after you boot your PC are crucial: that’s when your system is most vulnerable, and when malicious threats can attack. New features in our software can monitor for threats before your operating even system loads. Detection of such changes triggers Norton to automatically enter aggressive boot-time protection mode, which ensures complete protection during the boot up process.

Norton made changes in Norton 22, now BASH (Behavior Analysis and System Heuristics) enables BTP dynamically when it detects suspicious files.
If there is any suspicious change that is made to the system, that BASH considers suspicious/malicious, then the product should turn the BTP setting to ON (set to Normal) for the next reboot and/or until the suspicious file has been scanned.BTP "Off" is default because the user may feel a performance ding, with BTP "Normal or Aggressive" set by default.

Yes, everything makes sense except for the explanation.
Yes, "Off" by default reads like protection is Off.
Norton "Use Defaults" is recommended protection for most users.
Yes, "you must configure Boot Time Protection" reads like user must change setting.
Note: Permalink BTP runs with restart or cold-start, not with Fast Startup On, hybrid-start.
To fully protect your computer during start up, you must configure Boot Time Protection, reads to me, try "Normal or Aggressive". Just me.
Norton out-of-the-box is Norton recommended protection for most users. Go through Settings, you'll find multi-position toggle switches. Default is recommended protection.
Switches for users to set setup Norton to user preference.

Krusty13: Speccy can get that infor for you, if you wanted to know, but Holly would have to download it and post the log to you, and then you will see when her last updates where for windows etc.
Boot Time Protection is off by default but will automatically become enabled if Norton thinks there is something suspicious on your machine.
You may have to restart your machine more than once as some patches come in separate parts, each needing to be installed separately.
I'm not sure about the date of your updates.
