In the Home section of Norton 360 (v24), I keep getting repeated notifications about the number of trackers following me.
Hoping to stop this persistent nagging, I clicked ‘Continue’ and then selected ‘Not Interested.’ However, instead of respecting my choice, the program redirects me to a promotional page for Norton AntiTrack. On this page, I’m only given two options:
Click ‘Try Now for Free’
Close the window with ‘X’
By selecting ‘Not Interested,’ I expect my preference to be respected, but instead, the nagging notifications continue.
I’m extremely frustrated with this incessant advertising. If I want to explore new software, I can easily go to the new Store section myself.
I’ve been a Norton customer since 1998 when I got my first PC, but this constant pestering has helped me make the decision to switch to a different product once my current subscription ends.
Yup, I hear you. I am planning on finally dropping Norton after 20 years when my current subscription ends in February 2025. The nagware with the latest update is intolerable. I turned off the special offers notifications (Settings > Notifications > Mute special offers) and I still get nagged. Norton will never learn so they will lose long-time customers.
Unlike the previous version of Norton 360 when the occasional pop-up would show stuff like this, every time I now open v24, this message is always displayed. A form of permanent advertising/scareware.
I can either click ‘X’ to close this screen, or click ‘Try Now for Free’. Clicking ‘X’ takes me out of this page, but it means my previous choice of ’ Not Interested’ is not respected as there is no additional ‘Not Interested’ option here.
I use uBlock Origin in hard mode, so I know exactly what I’m blocking and allowing. I don’t need consistently reminded about it on the home page of Norton 360. There is no need for additional advertising now there is a new Store option.
Yes, I’m covering old ground here, but I wanted to added screenshots to prepare people who are not already on v24 what to expect.
