Hi all!

I just recently installed NAV 10 for Mac on a G5/2.0 running 10.4.7. After installing NAV and updating everything using Live Update, I came across a Symantec AutoProtect installer to manage AutoProtect from the client end. When I click on the Preference Pane in System Preferences, I get the following error:

SYMANTEC AUTO PROTECT ALERT!
An error has occurred, AutoProtect settings are unavailable. Please reinstall Symantec Antivirus.

I did reinstall it as suggested but it did not solve the problem.

Has anyone seen this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
HC

Nevermind!
It appears that the .plist file to the PreferencePane of this Symantec AutoProtect pane was corrupt. As soon as I deleted it and restarted, the error went away.

Thanks!
