In the past I and others have spent a lot of time and suffered a lot of concern trying to determine the reason for so many "Medium Severity" errors about "Unauthorized Access" that appear in our computers.
With several users, the feeling of reassurance that the Norton product is protecting itself from improper tampering soon changes to concern about what it is on their systems that is apparently trying to "attack" their Norton product. I know of many cases where valuable time has been spent fruitlessly performing full scans and investigating other Norton protection forms and logs, because of the unease caused by these threat reports.
I have only recently searched this board for this issue, and numerous threads seem to confirm what I had come around to suspecting, particularly after finding these "threats" on just about every computer that I have examined - that these entries are "normal".
However, if I may be so bold as to ask, if these are "normal" events, attacks or threats, is it really necessary to classify them as Medium Severity, instead of as Low Severity or Info items? Aren't the Norton programmers risking this being seen as a case of "crying wolf"?
The minority of Norton users that use this community, and that may search it for explanations, may end up reassured that no covert threat is really lurking undetected in their computers. But what about the rest of the population? If so many "normal" cases of "Unauthorized Access" must be logged as "Medium Severity" events on so many computers, I can't help feeling that it severely impacts the usefulness and credibility of the History Logs.
Counter-arguments, anyone?
