On my bottom taskbar I have both the Norton Protection Center icon (circle) and the AT%26T Yahoo! Online Protection icon (triangle). It appears they are both loaded and running on my computer. The Norton software seems to be running fine (all security boxes are checked) but Yahoo Protection shows an AntiVirus and AntiSpyware scan are needed and this "scan needed" alert does not change when I run the Norton Protection Center scan. If I hit the "Scan Now" button in Yahoo Protection, I get a hourglass symbel for a few seconds and then nothing else happens. Are these two protection programs fighting each other or working together?
Do I need Norton Protection Ctr. and Yahoo Online Protection?vista
OK when you downloaded Yahoo Online Protection it came with the Norton Protection. Actually the Norton is the Yahoo Online protection. The Yahoo icon actually does nothing except tell you whether or not Norton is on.
They are one and the same thing. I did disable the silver att shield on my task bar at one time. If you are scanning with Norton you are good. Sometimes the Att part doesn't recognize that Norton did the scan right away for them. Use the Norton part of it. It might refresh after restarting your computer. I have had the same problem before with Att not recognizing the scan was done. But it is not a problem.
EDIT You did run the full system scan? There is also the quick scan. The full system scan might be needed to turn the alert off.
