NIS10 & Win 7 Questions

Hi,

 

I had a clean install of Win 7 Pro and updated it, and got NIS10 installed and updated to 17.1.0.19.  I have some questions to ask after trying out this NIS10 + Win7 combination:

 

i)  IE8 (ver 8.0.7600.16385) came installed with Win 7.  With the Norton toolbar enabled in IE8, the back & forward buttons are no longer click-able.  I can still use backspace or alt-left/right to navigate in IE8 though.  After disabling the Norton toolbar and restarted IE8, the back & forward buttons become functional.  Is there a fix for this?

 

ii)  NIS10 seems to be working as a partner to Windows Firewall.  I don't seem to remember NIS09 using Win Firewall in Vista.  Does this imply Win7 + NIS10 = having a double firewall?

 

iii)  I have a .exe which when I ran it, NIS10 asked me whether I want to delete/ignore/deny it or something like that.  I chose ignore, and NIS said it is now excluded from scans or something.  However, I can't seem to find the exclusion for the .exe in NIS settings.  Is this part of the Sonar 2 exclusion?  How do I remove the exclusion?

 

Thanks in advance!
