Windows Vista >> Windows Gadget & Norton Internet Securuty 2008 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

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

Windows Vista >> Windows Gadget & Norton Internet Securuty 2008 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.
