Well no one really knew how to get rid of the CSRSS.EXE Worm. Many told me
there was a necessary file by that name and a worm as well. I went to Google
did a search and no hope. So I reformatted and am in the process of loaded
all that 40 gig of software and all of the patches etc in.
Question. Hopefully this is an easier one than my last two.
My Security Center DOES NOT recognise the Nortons Virus. What needs to be
done to have Windows keep monitoring my Virus program. Seems my daughters is
all GREEN and Windows monitors. I seem to only be able to select "I have have
my own virus program and will monitor it myself" and it shows that choice in
Orange.
I know it is a petty thing, I just want it to be all Green and not just
the first Two choices. It is that Male thing, that ego, that Bullheaded
whatever. I don't want to be defeated by a silly color in a Choice column.

Are you sure you ran Live Update until there were no more updates? One of
those last updates is the one that makes the security center recognize it.
I think it's called WMI update.

I am pretty sure. I ran Live Update about three times now. I will do it
again. Thanks.

Unless my Bubble is slighty off level, I clicked on your reference and got a
blank page. That was pretty much what I was getting before I did my reformat
and this pain in the (poop shoot) re-installing procedure that I have grown
so fond of, over the years. Bigger programs, more choices, lotsa updates etc.
I made it a bit more easier by keeping all of my patches and updates and
downloads on a Backup Hard drive. Thank God or you all may have heard a Gun
shot, followed shortly after by a Dull thump.
Thanks for the input

Yup! Damn good thing these hard drives are getting larger in capacity. One
needs a large capicity drive to store all of the utilities needed to keep the
first Two or three Gig working. I have virus programs, Trogan horsie
programs, Spy software, malace software removal programs, software to make
sure stuff don't get by the first line of Defense and then I have Calavary
software to back up the second line of Defense and utilities to check to see
if they are all doing their jobs. Now I have No Room left for my programs.

Security Center is only an "alerter". If you have an earlier version of
NAV, there is a patch for the recognition on Symantec's website.
Otherwise, if your NAV is kept current (you've paid for your
subscription and it is a fairly recent version - not earlier than
2004), you should just turn off the Security Center alert. NAV itself
will alert you when it is time to renew your subscription.

Open the Security Center applet in Control Panel and click on the
left-side link, "Change how Security Center alerts me" and uncheck the
alerts for AV.

Thanks,
I have the Complete Nortons System Works 2004 and I have it on my
daughters and hers is all Green. and I am re-installing everything on mine
and I have that little Red Shield that pops up and tells me " Danger Danger
Danger, Will Robinson has left the craft and is with Professor Smith." I
turn it off, as you said and it turns this real Ugly Orange and it just stars
at me, like it is MY move or something. Kinda makes me want to smack it. IT
is a petty thing, I know, I just wanted everythig to look nice and be
friendly. Damn Computers.
Thanks again

Take your own advice. Dump NSW. Get a different AV. There are several
free ones out there including AVG and Avast. For a firewall use one of
the free ones. I prefer Sygate, but Kerio and ZA are ok as well. Your
system will run better getting rid of the NSW bloat.
