NAG NAG NAG

Wow, Norton is getting more and more aggressive with the pop up offers and nags to set up features that I DON'T NEED.  It is getting worse and worse.  And I am GETTING SICK OF IT.

I have used Norton for a lot of years.  One of the original benefits was that it stopped the flood of pop ups if you went to the wrong site.  Now I am seeing FREQUENT pop ups from Norton with no apparent way to turn them off.

I have turned off the special offers notification.

How many time does Norton have to start my browser WITHOUT MY CONSENT because I don't use the Norton search engine?  Can Norton please learn from my first 10 answers of NO???  Or at least let me turn them off.  The stupid pop ups happen when I am doing something, so it CHANGES THE ACTIVE WINDOW in the middle of typing.  HOW MISGUIDED IS THAT????

So how do I turn off these unsolicited prompts for setting up features I already know about, and don't want or need?

And while we are discussing this, how do I turn off unsolicited and misleading marketing masked as warnings at the end of a smart scan.  How many times do I need to say NO to "warnings" that my info is on online phone directories, etc?  I know about them, and I also know that any contact info is years out of date, and is all completely wrong, so is not a threat at all.  So the warnings are completely misleading, and after seeing them over 10 times and still getting the warnings I am getting sick of them.

Honestly, does anyone buy these products after the 10th or 20th nag???

So, a suggestion to Norton --- realize that your customers are NOT captive to your advertisements within your program.  You will drive us away as you get worse and more persistent.  I am seriously considering trying BitLocker for the first time --- that seems like the easiest way to solve this annoying problem!

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to turn them off.

Do you run Special Offer Notification = off?

Note: Special Offer Notification Off does not stop all Norton pop-ups.

Try renaming nuPerfScan.exe => nuPerfScan.exe123

(temporary disable Norton Tamper Protection to rename)
C:\Program Files\Norton Security\Engine32\22.23.10.10\nuPerfScan.exe
