custom sound event for Vista

Post Reply New Topic

I'd like to make a custom sound event for when my anti-virus detects an intrusion.

I think I'm in the ballpark by editing the registry but I can't find any Norton.exe or anything like it.

I even tried downloading something I knew was bad and knew Norton would catch in the hopes that I'd be able to see the process name on the task manager but nothing appeared.

I just need to know what the event name (I guess you'd call it) that Norton uses to detect and terminate intrusions or viruses and the like. I have the perfect .wav file to play for it.

Basically in a nut-shell, you know how when Windows shots down it plays a sound or when Windows asks you a question, it plays a sound? I want Norton to play a particular sound when it detects an intrusion or detects a virus or something harmful.

this is the sound I'd like to be played.

If you cannot find the existing wav or other media file Norton is playing it may not be possible to change it. In commercial software I write some wav files are simply shipped as is and appear in the program files directory or application data directory, but some I embed in larger data files. If Norton do the latter then you are out of luck. If the former simply put your file there replacing the existing file naming your file the same as theirs.

Not a registry thing. As Norton is not open source you are limited in how you customise it.
