HOW DO I DISABLE THIS?

Read the manual that came with the software wither in book or PDF format.

Right-click on the Norton icon that is in your system tray (lower
right-hand corner of your screen). From the resulting menu, left-click
on "Disable". You'll now see a little red "x" over the Norton icon.

Isn't it sad that people won't read the Norton help files?

Yes. The refusal to look at a program's help file or to do any learning
about how to use a program they've bought seems to be endemic to
certain home users. I think part of it is fear of the computer (I have
a lot of clients who have never right-clicked the mouse button), and of
course part of it is laziness. Generally, if I get a request like that
from a paying client, I'm happy to give a tutorial. In a newsgroup, I'd
rather point to Google or an url, wouldn't you? Although in this
particular case, it was quicker for me to just tell them about the
Magic Right Click.

I agree.  I don't like helping those who are unwilling to help themselves.  The end users
often forget THEIR responsibilities when using or maintaining their computers.
