How do you stop Norton intercepting any searches and sending them to Norton ‘Safesearch’?

All that results is a series of ‘sponsored’ results i.e. adverts.

I have tried disabling it but it seems as if I might have to completely remove Norton from my PC to get rid of it.

are you running Norton Home Page &or Norton Safe Search extension?
did you disable/remove Norton Home Page &or Norton Safe Search extension?
did you reset browser search engine to your preference?
are you using https://searchsafe.norton.com/ website?
what browser?

Windows?

All of the above.

The only Norton extension is Password Manager.

Edge

Firefox

I have never enabled Safe Search (and never will!)

and your search results call Norton Safe Search page?
what is your browser search engine?

tried disabling what?

are you using https://searchsafe.norton.com/ website?

Sorry, I’m trying to imagine how your search results call Norton Safe Search page sans Norton Safe Search or Norton Home Page installed/enabled.

Look in your Browser’s Settings and look for Search Engine. From there you can choose which search engine you wish to use.
This is from my Brave browser Settings page.
