Norton Icon not showing in taskbar of Guest Account

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

I am running Win 7 SP1 64bt, & Norton 360 from Comcast.  Norton runs fine on all accounts except the Guest account.  I have tried all the un-install and reinstall protocols from support.    If N360 is running on the Admin account is the Guest account protected?  How can I verify?

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

Hi Drido,

 

Unless I am mssing something, once you install Comcast's Norton Security Suite - it is installed for all  users.  I mean you do not have to install the basic program for each different Windows User Account.  Now you can set up ID Safe and a Local Vault for each Windows account - but as far as I know when you uninstall it, and reinstall it - it applies to all users.  Perhaps I misunderstand and you can give some more info  as to how youmean it doesn't run. 

 

<edit>  I just reread your title and it is not the same as you said in your text - so if in fact Nortonis running and yuou are just missing the Icon in the TAsk Bar, please Lft click on the small white arrow pointint up to the left of anyicons that are thee and then select Customize, Then look for the Symantec Service Framework for NSS and suing the drop down arrow, select Show icons and notifications, click on OK and check to see if that answered your question.

Another point...

 

The guest account is supposed to be restrictive by nature. Do you really want Guests to have access to your security programs???

 

If you start TaskManager, you should still see at least one instance of ccsvchst.exe listed. That would be the Norton protection running to protect your system.

Just to clarify - Norton can run on your guest account and as long as you have not changed the default setting in NSS under Administrative Settings of Non-Admins Access to Settings then any account without admin privileges can not change any settings within NSS - although they can still be protected by NSS.

 

I do not believe the setting I suggested to change above is considered a Norton setting - more an ICON setting.

Trojan Terminator, Thank you for the reply, and you are correct. after I re-read my post and the Title, they do not really match. Anyhow, the icon is not showing, and I want to confirm that N360 is protecting the Guest act. But, it is not the Task bar settings, I checked that and have the Symantec Service Framework set to show Icons and notifications. But, thank you for the help attempt.

Peterweb,  Thanks for the response.  I checked and do see the "ccsvhst.exe32" process running.  I also see the N360 Services running.  Does that mean the Guest Act is protected?  On my other two computers the Norton icon does show up on the guest act.

Thanks again for your help,

Yes, your system is protected. It is just the icon is not displaying correctly, Which a Guest should not be worrying about anyway.
