How can I stop Disabling?

[AlbertAguirre]

I have had visitors on my PC disable my Norton AV 2003.
Is it possible to lock it so it cannot be disabled?

Unfortunately i can't answer your question, but am asking you one in return: how did your guest disable the program completely? Perhaps you don't have 2003 pro, but if you do, please let me know. The program is taking up too much ram for me to perform simple tasks.

Norton is a resource hog it loves Ram and also loves to crash i recommend not using it on home pc if you dont have at least 256mb ram

It was disable by rightclicking on the icon and choosing disable. Nothing special.
I just dont want them disabling it.

Hide the icon.

How? Its on the task bar...

Mine appears in the system tray (area just left of the clock). It can be "always hidden" with a right click in an open area just to the left of the chevron, then properties, customize, select NAV then hide. There may have been an option to display it in the taskbar in setup.

What the heck is the chevron????

 

[bullhlms]

On the bottom right of the screen, left of the clock are some icons, then &quot;<<&quot; without quotes. << is a the chevron.

I have win2k. There are no chevrons on the right.

If you use the corporate edition product, you can lock the realtime enablement and uninstall to require a password to unlock/disable or unininstall, among other things using their system center console on the server Nav settings. If you are using only the home consumer line 2003, I'm not sure there is a way other than registry hacks, which I wouldn't recommend without proof of no adverse affects on out-of-production environment. You could always use bios boot password and system logon password with screen saver lockout. Thought I saw you had W2k. This would keep them out of the system while you are away from it.
