It only happens when ur comp is idle and u r not doin any work.
If it happens while u r working try thi :
Open norton panel and go to settings, then go to misc settings >> under silent mode click full screen detection to on.
If u want to permanently disable this feature go back to computer setting under options in norton panel >> under computer scans turn off idle time scans and it will not appear again.
But it is highly recommende not to do so unless u regularly scan ur comp.
Thanks
Hi grawpri,
Silent mode is entirely different from the Background scan that runs when your computer is idle. When you perform important tasks on your computer, you likely would prefer not to receive any alert messages. Silent Mode suppresses alerts and notifications and temporarily suspends most of the background activities. If Norton 2009 program detects a security threat when Silent Mode is enabled, it does not display the alert but takes appropriate action to protect your computer. You can either turn on the silent mode manually or otherwise enable the full screen detection which will enable the silent mode whenever any application opens in the fullscreen mode.
Norton 2009 uses the Idle Time Scan to automatically detect the idle state of your computer and runs a weekly Full System Scan when the computer is idle. If it is set for Daily basis, then Norton may run the scan from background whenever your computer is Idle. That may be the reason for alert that you receive. So, turning on/off the silent mode or full screen detection won't have any effect on your issue. Here are the steps to disable the idle time scan:
1. Start Norton 2009 program.
2. In the Computer pane, click Settings.
3. Under Computer Scans, near Idle Time Scan, select Off from the drop-down menu.
4. Click Apply > OK.
