WindoZe XP. Earlier I posted about some bizarre CS behavior and it was suggested that Symantic AnitVirus was at fault, but I cannot kill Symantic (process Rtvscan.exe). I’ve tried from the Task manager – kill it, no error message but it doesn’t go away. This is a company laptop. How can I subvert this behavior when I’m offline and don’t really need the antivirus program?

right-click on the icons
read the floating menus
find the correct option
BINGO – disable a/v software

Nope. I am not the administrator of this laptop. Our ITS department installed Symantic Anti-virus. I can’t get at it. I need to subvert Admin somehow.

Why not just explain the situation to them?

LOL! They don’t care! Sometimes I think they would be the happiest if we never used the computers.

The only way around that is to find out what the administrator login is and go and change your user to a super user, you can then still login as normal but you should then be able to turn Norton on and off.

Obviously that is a big if.
