About problems during activation  
If you cannot connect to the Symantec servers to  
activate your product, first check your Internet  
connection. You then need to see if you have parental  
control software, either installed or through your ISP,

control software. If you suspect that parental controls  
might block the connection, you can configure the  
parental controls so that they do not block the  
activation procedure. You need to log in to your  
parental control software or to the Internet through  
your ISP as an administrator to change your  
configuration.  
If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet,  
you must configure the proxy settings. To use the

system changes to Attention or AtRisk. In such cases,  
you can ignore the protection status of a particular  
feature to maintain a healthy overall system status.

for a limited period, and you still want the system

protection status of BrowserProtection and then, turn  
off the option. When you ignore the protection status  
of a feature, it does not affect the overall System
