    Just recently I have noticed that my Norton 2004 virus program suddenly
    disables itself. What would cause this? I have Windows XP Service Pack 2
    installed. Would the windows firewall be shutting down my NV protection? Or
    could it be possible that I have a hidden virus on my computer that Norton
    hasn't found?

    I browse the internet, read email, and newsgroups alot, so I'm very
    concerned when I noticed that my virus protection is disabled.

    I'm the only one that uses this computer, so there is no way that anyone
    can disable the virus protection.

    Should I be alarmed? Or is this some kind of quirk of Norton 2004 virus
    protection?

    When it is shut down, there ain't no protection.
    Perhaps the virus that did the dirt is SP2...

    I came across some virus (such as Sobig virus) capable to disable your
    antivirus from Windows' startup.

    Try to boot to safe mode and run NAV and do a full virus scan to you
    HD(s).

    p/s make sure you are having the updated/latest virus data file.
