Windows Gadget & Norton Internet Securuty 2008

[CSM]

I have been using a Windows Vista Gadget called "DC Wireless Network
Monitor" to show the status and strength of my wireless signal. It, and
other Wireless signal gadgets had been working fine until I installed
Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2008. Now, all show nothing, no signal
or disconnected. I assume NIS 2008 is somehow blocking the "Gadget" from
getting the wireless info. Any ideas or suggestion?

Thanks,
CSM

Try disabling Norton Internet Security 2008 Firewall and use the built in
one in Windows Vista instead. (Control Panel > Security Center)

Hi,

My solution would be to remove the Norton software and install
something/anything else, but should you want to keep it you'll need to check
with Symantec support to see if they can offer a fix. It may be that a port
the gadgets use is blocked (which is my first thought), or that some setting
in the software is blocking other processes from gathering the network
information.
