how do i make trend micro and norton play nice together

I agree. This is Trend Micro making problems where there are none. They were working on previous versions. Now Trend Micro wants me to uninstall Norton. That won't happen. Norton Family is far and away superior in protecting your children. Trend Micro is terrible at it, almost laughably bad. So, I'll dump Trend Micro. Too bad - it's pretty good otherwise.

I would agree. If Trend Micro would follow its own advice!
