I have Symantec Endpoint Protection version 12.1.1101.401, RU1MP1.<br />
<br />
On a random basis my endpoints are being bumped off of their connection to the server. &nbsp;The green ball turns into the red circle with the slash. &nbsp;When this happens the connectivity to the server and/or the internet is severed until Symantec is restarted. &nbsp;Going to the console for services.msc and (re)starting Symantec clears the problem up. &nbsp;<br />

Why is this happening and how do I prevent this from happening?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
