Hi All

did anyone else notice this in their windows event viewer?I'm thinking it came with the new upgrade as I have not seen it before.

Hi Mods can you explain what it does .Thanks for any help.

I haven't seen a History Log yet, but my version 33 update didn't download until yesterday.

 

However, read the 11-06-2008 post from MPMTech; it's currently the last message on the page:

 

http://norton.lithium.com/norton/board/message?board.id=nis_feedback&message.id=17647

 

It mentions: "Symantec - Real Time Storage Protection Component", so whatever it is, it existed before the update.

mo,

 

Can you copy and paste the exact message you are seeing?  Symantec Realtime Storage Protection is more commonly known as AutoProtect in NIS/NAV.  Its certainly not new with the 16.1 update :smileyhappy:

Hi MikeO

I'm thinking if this service was meant to be happening before the latest upgrade,Why was it not? As  a new user I'm always in the logs working out what things are and I never saw this even when I went from NIS2008 To NIS 2009 16.0. after NIS09(16.0) was installed I know my logs in windows event viewer got changed quiet a bit.as in alot more neater for want of a better word.Then after 16.1 was installed this realtime storage protection turned up.

Mo,

 

This event just indicates that AutoProtect was started.   Its not new to 16.1.  Prior to the upgrade, did you have AutoProtect configured for "Early Load" (in Computer Settings / Real Time Protection / AutoProtect) ?  If so, it's startup may not be logged, since it is started prior to the event logging subsystem.

 

Regards,

Mike

Hi MikeO

Early load has been switched off since I have had Norton,It is still off.Thanks for your reply that all is normal.

Just a thought,the only thing I changed around that time was turning up the Advanced Heuristic Protection to Aggressive.
