New users…just got the following “The Safety Minder tool on Basement Desktop…has been disabled”  Is this program supposed to allow kids to disable it?

Hi rserafin,

 

Please make sure your kids don't have administrator rights on the PCs what are being monitored and also, they don't have your OnlineFamily.Norton Web login email and password. 

 

Thanks,

Katie

Hi conan_troutman,

 

Please make sure Norton Safety Minder Add-ons is enabled.  If the kids use IE as Web Browser, please go to Tools/Manager Add-ons and make sure Symantec Norton Safety Minder BHO is Enabled under Status column.

 

Thanks,

Katie

Please read this entire thread and you will exactly what is happening, and that Symantec knows all about it.  It is very unlikely that it has anything at all to do with your computer settings or security.  It is however supported by Symantec policy and philosophy as you will see in the Symantec response toward the middle of the thread.
