While trying to figure out what's happening to tracking cookies with the new NIS 2012 (NIS 2011 always showed them when scanned), I notice on the advanced home page that SONAR Protection, Smart Firewall, Intrusion Prevention and Browser Protection on/off sliders were lightened (which I'm assuming means they were diabled). They were in the "on" position but couldn't be moved.
Nothing I did made a difference so I closed everything down and restarted the computer (Windows XP) and everything was back to normal. But I'm wondering, A) what happened? and B) was my computer unprotected during that time?
I was going to download the maual to see if that had any info, but that failed on numerous attempts. NIS 2011 was so smooth and problem-free, but I'm starting to wonder if 2012 is reverting to the Norton product of a couple years ago that made me leave the brand. This isn't a good start.
