Norton DNS Status Question

Hello,

 

Win7, IE9, NIS 2011, Norton DNS

 

I'm one of them paranoid internet users, so I disconnect internet connection from computer when I shutdown.  

 

I noticed when I turn on computer then plug in connection after computer boots I get "status not protected".   So now I connect internet connection before turning on computer.  My question is sometimes I still get the "not protected", then I'll reboot and It will show "dns status protected".

 

I was just wondering if something bad is happening with connection.  Like I mentioned I'm one of them paranoid guys.

 

Thanks

Fred
