We're trying to run XP OS on parallels, and to make sure we're secured like our other PC's, we install Symantec NAV Corp edition, our current version 10.1.5.5000.

When I restart/shutdown the XP on Parallels, I get a dialog box that says "Symantec AntiVirus found a disk in the floppy drive. In order to decrease the risk of being infected with a boot sector virus, remove the floppy before you shut down the computer." I hit the "OK" button, but it comes right back, and begins the "Ending Program... Please wait." process.

AVG Free Antivirus wouldn't be sufficient, for the IT dept. to say we're complying with security. Any ideas??

This is happening on a MacMini, and there is no floppy or any other disk installed.

answered my own problem... simply go to "Devices" Menu, and select "Floppy -> Disconnect" problem solved

Just curious to know if they specifically exclude AVG and if so, why, or if it is just that Norton is their standard.

NAV is the standard, and should a windows box be seen on the network, it should adhere to corporate standards. Personally, I have no issues with AVG, and find it a great resource for those who want essential protection, without the bloatware. :)
