This isn't a live chat forum, if you were thinking that it was. You post your question, providing as much detail as you can, and then wait for one of us, who are mostly your fellow users, to see and read your question and offer suggestions. Such a reply may not arrive for a couple of hours or more depending on your question, so you'll need to be patient.


Regarding your issue, this is probably something you'll need to take up with Symantec support, but perhaps this thread on their forums well help:

By the way, it's not a good strategy to make as post as having "Solved" your issue unless it really is solved. People will generally bypass threads marked as Solved since we understandably presume that no further responses are required.

Norton Antivirus is possibly the worst antivirus app (beside MacKeeper) to install on a Mac.

It, generally, will give false positives as well as affect system performance. Norton Antivirus for the Mac is more malware/"crapware" and offers no real virus protection and can do more harm to your Mac's performance than the so called good it claims to do!

Completely uninstall Norton Anitvirus.
