Brief Description about Symhelp:

Symantec Help (SymHelp) is a diagnostic utility designed for Symantec Endpoint Protection used in identifying common issues and providing quick solutions to common problems. SymHelp - with a run time around three minutes - provides the ability to automatically detect whether a system with a supported Symantec product has a known issue or is in an otherwise problematic condition. In addition to the individual tests results and their statuses, the SymHelp report contains links to documents in the Symantec knowledge base which provide detailed information on how to resolve an issue or pursue further investigation as to its cause and resolution.

SymHelp does not permanently alter any files on the computer unless the user explicitly agrees to this when specially prompted. SymHelp does not permanently install anything on your computer when it runs.

Symantec Help (SymHelp) now features the ability to create a new Symantec Support case or update an existing Symantec Support case with the data it has collected.  This simplifies the process for customers who have data to provide to a new or existing Support case by reducing the effort required to:

  • Deliver the requested or anticipated data to Symantec Support
  • Communicate with Support regarding the issue or case update

Cases created or updated via SymHelp will be recognized as such by the appropriate Symantec Support personnel without any further contact from the customer necessary in many cases.

Hi,

I wish I could have helped you but this query is related to Norton product, please post your query here to get answers from Norton Team. You can tweet at https://twitter.com/NortonSupport also.

I recently had to reinstall Norton Identity Safe. It installed with no problems, and I signed in. At that point, I was directed to a web page (Firefox is my default) and it had me sign in again, it then asked me for the Security Code provided by VIP Access.  The VIP Access app gives me my Credential ID and rotates Security Codes every 30 seconds.  The web page wouldn't accept any of these codes. Anyone have any answers, tech support sure didn't. I couldn't even set up a case because it wouldn't recognize NIS' product version.
