Respond to Norton Internet Security
alerts
When a Norton Internet Security
alert
appears, read it
before you make a decision. Identify what type of alert it
is and the threat level. Once you understand the risks,
you can make a choice.
w
Take as much time as you need to make your choice.
Your computer is safe from attack while the alert is
active.
Norton Internet Security helps you decide on an
appropriate action by preselecting the recommended
action if one exists. Norton Internet Security cannot
suggest recommended actions for all alerts.
See
“Customizing
protection for
different locations”
on page 123.
The first alert most people will receive is a New Location
Alert. This alert appears every time your computer joins
a network that Network Detector does not recognize. You
will likely receive a New Location Alert the first time you
go online after installing Norton Internet Security.
