Norton 360 Auto-Protect greyed out

In order to install certain older programs, I need to turn off auto protect and I can't (greyed out).

I am forced to uninstall Norton 360, install program, and re-install Norton 360. Upon re-install, the

"disable auto-protect" works UNTIL I UPDATE. Then it is greyed out again. This tells me this is a deliberate lockout by Symantec. What gives??
