It is a common problem. Since a few months Norton 360 Deluxe keeps stating that MS Defender periodic scanning is on.
I have followed Nortons instructions multiple times to switch off periodic scanning. However after a day it swicthes back on and againg I get the Norton warning. Very irritating. I want Norton to IGNORE this message and I do understand that it might impact the effectiveness of Norton. Any help is appreciated
@surfer10k What is your version and build on Windows 11? Are you using a standard Norton suite or the Norton app from the Microsoft store?

Hi I am using W11 pro updated to the latest version. Norton from the norton site
And you followed this guide when disabling Defender periodic scanning? Does it re-enable itself only at the next reboot/restart or is doing so randomly? With 3rd party antivirus defender should be getting disabled with the exception of Windows Firewall due to it being used by Windows Updates. Can you post a screenshot of the message for review?
AND you’ve disabled tamper protection to disable scanning?
