Norton keep computer signed in for updates?

This info is very important to me to figure out if someone signed in on my computer:

 does Norton 360 keep the computer signed in until it is restarted for updates? I found my computer still signed in after 2 days and the Norton Security notice on desk top recommending to restart for updates. I had signed in two days prior and computer was still signed in...was that Norton 360 or someone else signed it in? (The sign in requirement was set for 1 day) Thank you for any info!!

Welcome,

After an update that requires a reboot the program usually suspends operations until a decision is made by the user. Without a decision it will remain in the waiting state. The first time anyone does anything after that I would expect it to reboot. It would then require a login to allow additional activity.

Hope this helps

Re: Norton keep computer signed in for updates?

Hi...and thank you for the info. I was wondering if while waiting for the user to reboot the computer for updates, does Norton keep the computer "signed in"? I signed in on a Monday and by Wednesday it showed the yellow Norton notice for updates and restart...but was already (or still ?) signed in. I need to know if that was because of Norton kept it signed in or another person had been using the computer. Thanks!
