503.0. "What is the initial password for AUTOPROTECT?" by STAR::PITCHER (Steve Pitcher/Pathworks for OpenVMS) Wed May 21 1997 15:41

    I recently installed the Norton AntiVirus kit on my home PC.  The
    Options window includes several tabs, including AUTO PROTECT.  I see
    discussion of this in the FAQ.
    
    When I go to AUTO PROTECT it asks for a password.  I haven't set any
    password!  What is the initial password for this???

Steve,

If you click "CANCEL" in the password dialog box, you will see that options 
have been set already.

These have been chosen in order to provide you with the best protection plan 
suited to the environment.  

The password is set by VCT and is not being distributed.

If you have any problems please ask.

Regards,
Sohrab.
