I have the latest version of Norton Internet Security installed on a Windows 8 PC, and I have noticed that Download Intelligence Notifications are not appearing when downloading an executable file from Google Chrome. I have checked the Firewall settings under "Intrusion and Browser Protection" and the "Download Insight Notifications" switch is set to "On." Does anyone know of a solution to this?
Also, on an unrelated note, is NIS supposed to scan compressed files automatically by default when they are downloaded?
Thanks!

On your system, is the issue Google Chrome specific ie. when downloading a particular file under Internet Explorer, Norton displays the notification but when downloading the same file under Chrome, no Norton notification is displayed?

NIS typically doesn't automatically scan compressed files by default on download; a manual scan of the downloaded compressed file in question is normally required. This isn't a new issue, see here:

@dickevans -- Thank you for the information!
@elsewhere -- The issue occured with both IE and Chrome. Oddly enough, the issue seemed to fix itself after disabling then reenabling Download Insight. And thanks for answering my other question!
