Windows that something is wrong. The Security Center symbol

appears, and you can click on it to view and edit the Windows settings.

If the warning triangle icon appears in the system tray, it signifies that

one of these situations have occurred:

1. The On-access scanner is installed, but has been manually

disabled. To start the On-access scanner, select the shortcut from

the right-click menu, or go to the Virus & Spyware Protection main

console. See ‘The On-access scanner’ on page 20 for details.

2. You have probably selected Reboot later on a previous prompt,

and the Security Suite is waiting for a reboot.

3. An installation error that a reboot might fix.

Outdated virus definition files

A blinking yellow triangle signifies that the virus definition files are

outdated, i.e. they are at least ten days old. The same happens if the On-

access scanner is stopped/paused from the tray menu.

Informational icons

When the Norman icon appears with a cog, Norman Program Manager

is working with the program, most likely an update. We do not

recommend that you turn off your machine when NPM is working, i.e.

while this symbol is visible.

Note: An update shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes. If the cog

icon is present for a longer period of time, something might be

wrong with the installation. In that case, try the Repair option

available from delnvc5 and described on page 54.

Tip: You can always place the cursor on any type of icon in the

system tray for an explanation of errors or messages.

Scanning

The Security Suite features two main scanners—the On-access scanner

and the On-demand scanner—as well as different scanning methods.

Both scanners employ the unrivaled Sandbox, a feature that detects new

and unknown viruses. Select this option if you want the Virus &

Spyware Protection application to look out for unknown virus variants.

By default, the Sandbox option is on for both scanners. Scanning time
