In Norton AntiVirus 2009 you could stop the Norton AntiVirus service from running either by: 1) using net stop "Norton AntiVirus" or 2.) going to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services and stopping the service. In 2010 this is not available. I use XP Professional SP3 and cannot disable/stop the service. Has anyone any idea on how to do it or if it even can be done?
