I'm currently running the trial of NIS, and I like it! First time since 2002 I've installed a norton product!
Anyway, I love the white-list feature. Now, is there a way for me to white list appilactions myself? For example, for uni I run Visual Studio and SQL Server, and I notice none of those applications are white listed, which gives me a low 'white list score'.
Is there a way I can 'submit' those to be whitelisted, or so that I can white list them myself on my system, and upload my recomendations to the community?
I thnik your missing the point of my question… after running that I get a Trusted rating of 49%. The quetsion is, how do I rase the ‘trusted’ threshold, there are applilcations on the list I know are trusted, but they are not either ‘norton’ or ‘community’ trusted.
You cannot raise it. That is only something Symantec can do. 49% is very high. Mine is only 14% untrusted. What other processes are you running. Keep in mind InSight is checking your running processes not the programs installed on your pc.
It's mostly developer stuff released by Microsoft, when I don't run it, my untrusted is about 27%, when I turn on all my software development related stuff, it goes up to 51% untrusted, and there all pretty much stock standard MS development applications + a few plugins from other vendors.
Edit: spelling.

In Norton 2009, the user cannot whitelist applicationshimself. The application is either "Norton" or "Community" trusted. Weare considering a "User" trusted category moving forward.
Asmalwareman said, there is no mechanism to "force" process submissionsto Symantec. By participating to the Norton Community Watch and NortonInsight, running processes are sent to Symantec. If Symantec analyzesit and it's safe, it will become "Norton Trusted", if many otherNorton users submit the same file as you do, hence it's a popular file,it will be a "Community Trusted" process.
