How do I stop Norton from prompting me to use/enable features?

Posted: 01-Sep-2022 | 2:22AM · 5 Replies ·

Norton continues to pop-up unwanted prompts to enable features that I don't want to use on this PC.

I have disabled marketing pop-ups in the administrator settings.

Silent mode is only a temporary fix.

HOW DO I STOP THE POP-UP PROMPTS TO USE/SETUP FEATURES THAT I DON'T WANT TO USE?

Is the only solution to use a different company's product?

Switch to Classic mode, Popups will not be visible from now on.

I run Classic mode all the time - really dislike the Newer mode window.  I am always getting pop up dialog boxes at startup and at different times - I wish it would stop but don't know how or what to do.

Assuming that you mean the "Select what you see first when you launch Norton" option then I already have Classic selected.

Try the workaround linked below.

This is not a cure for the problem, just a workaround that I am trying out, so I am not putting this here as a solution because it is not.

The repeated prompts are not just annoying. For Norton to scan my device for its own marketing purposes is nothing short of AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY. After decades as a customer, I canceled my Norton subscription.
