It probably wants to check for Updates, Dan. No big deal. You can
probably find some setting in its Options to tell it not to do that.

Or you could lighten the load entirely and ban all things
Norton/Symantec from your system. That's what I do.

Well, I can say that I know use Norton because Symantec bought out

Roxio so I
was stuck with going with "GoBack" from Symantec and I bought this one
product which is very useful for restoring a PC. I have set the
configurations carefully to minimize intrusion on the part of the

Norton
utility. However, GoBack wants to access the Internet each time I

reboot and
this makes me wonder what Symantec's game is. I can deny this

accessing the
Internet through Zone Alarm Pro. because I have it set to manual but

it still
makes me even more suspicious of Norton products. Does anyone know

why this
product would want to phone home? If I deny Goback access to the

Internet
the product still works great and no other message is displayed.
