Hello,
Some time ago I had the problem, apparently with others, that when I clicked the save icon it would bring up the Save As dialog. I thought I had solved this problem, but it seems to be happening again. I may have changed a setting or something. I did a search, but the results came up with threads where the issue was not solved:

Nope. I tried it with this setting unchecked and just now experienced the same problem again. Anyone recall what needs to be done to stop this?
I am also experiencing another problem that I thought was solved which is irratic selection. Where the selection jumps off the start, starts to drag the selection as copied, selects the whole word or line or multiple lines when it should not.
Did Symantec revert to one of it's older forms during the spate of recent updates?

Well so far what I can say is that after disableing Norton Anti-virus Auto Protect I have not had any problems with selecting or the save bringing up the SaveAs dialog box.
I am behind a firewall in a router and still have my e-mail scanned and scripts blocked...I wonder if there is any danger in runing without Auto Protect?

Well, I suppose if you aren't running Outlook or Outlook Express, you ought to be fine with regard to things automagically running for you. If you are running one of those two and can switch, you might want to look into it. I tend to recommend either The Bat or Eudora. I'm sure others on here have their favourites.mo wrote:I am behind a firewall in a router and still have my e-mail scanned and scripts blocked...I wonder if there is any danger in runing without Auto Protect?
After that, you can manually scan the potentially malicious programs after saving them out of the email message.

haha, well, of course I am running Outlook. But I think I am safe here. I have applied all the latest patches, and as I said I am running behind a firewall and I also use Norton Internet Security, and I also use Popfile which screens out almost all spam (which includes anything I don't want to see), and Norton Anti-Virus is still catching viruses and trojans etc coming in e-mails.
I think the Auto-Protect feature has more to do with downloading programs and running programs and such, and I always scan my downloads and don't put anything on the computer from other people's disks and I don't use IRC or chat programs.
The main danger I am concerned about is infected websites. I don't know if that is covered completely by the script blocking feature.
