virus scanner / user accounts
Hi,
I'd like to give my son his own user account in Vista Home Premium. The account setup went well, BUT from within his new (normal user, not Administrator) account, he can disable the virus scanner (Nod32). Is there any way to specify as an Admin, that a specific program cannot be exited by other users? Thanks, Ulrich

Hello,
I would recommend reading through the Norton help files. A lot of virus scanners allow you to create a password that must be entered to change/modify settings. -- - JB Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "UH" wrote in message ...

Thanks -- i'm not using Norton, but I can secure any changes with a
password. That, unfortunately, does not include exting the whole virus scanner... :-( Best wishes, Ulrich On 22 Dez., 19:58, "Jimmy Brush" wrote: Hello, I would recommend reading through the Norton help files.

virus scanner / user accounts
Are you sure that the virus scanner is actually disabled when they close it?
There is a visible and an invisible part of the virus scanner. Closing the visible part does not necessarily mean the invisible part is not running. If you create a standard user account in a test standard user account, close the virus scanner from it, then log in with your admin account, does the virus scanner show disabled? - JB "UH" wrote in message ...

But I tried something else -- if I password protect the virus scanner's settings, it also cannot be closed. Thanks, and best wishes, Ulrich
