These options are no longer available in NVC. The About option is replaced by the Update status entry in the Norman menu. You will find version information and information about what time the installation was last updated when you select this option.

The Active component option has been replaced by a more intelligent tray icon (‘N’). The tray icon will for example display indicators if components are not running in accordance with your configuration, or if you have stopped core modules like the On-access scanner.

Symbol	Possible explanations	Recommended actions
Yellow triangle with exclamation mark	The On access scanner is not running	Right-click the N tray icon, select Configuration editor and make sure that On-access scanner is selected in the Component module below Norman Virus Control, on both the tabs Start and Install
	Scanner engine out of date	Right-click the N tray icon and select Internet Update. Make sure that your firewall doesn’t block the update client Niu.exe. If this fails, select Configuration Editor from the tray icon menu, go to the tab Internet and make sure that your configuration corresponds with your type of Internet connection -> Manual only if you update manually, Daily on dial-up if you update through a modem connection, or On direct connection at specified times if you update on a broadband/xDSL connection
