Can this prompting of “buy these other products…” - BE TURNED OFF?
Or will it prompt me for 2 other products for a year everytime I run a scan? Come on guys.
It is really a nuisance. Please!

I think the last thing they will do is turn it off. Since it is questionable if we even need an anit-virus, my feeling is the extras are the only hooks they have. My pop-up showed multiple drivers needing updating but Geek Squad and a $100 bill said everything was fine. Thanks for that Norton.

Questionable if we even need an anti-virus? I think a solid protection system on our computers is more important than ever. We are bombarded daily on cell phones, emails, computers with spam mail and malware and phishing links and worse more than at any time in my long experience and criminals are becoming cleverer and cleverer with dangerous links sent to fool innocent people and systems. I would not for a second risk having a computer with internet connection without solid firewall-anti virus protection like Norton. As for promotional offers, that is how business is run today. Perhaps they could have been optional, but that is perhaps the price we pay for a top notch protection system (though I too have some negatives regarding this latest version).
