I recently thought I'd try out Norton 360 cloud backup on my machine - OS = windows 10. Norton suite keeps nagging me to run cloud backup several times per month when I boot my machine even though I set backup once monthly on the first day of the month. This is REALLY frustrating. Yes, I checked to verify monthly backup status in setup window for cloud backup. I spent quite some time searching the Norton site for instructions on how to disable Norton cloud backup. Evidently, the secret to disabling Norton cloud backup is more closely guarded than nuclear launch codes. How do I COMPLETELY disable %%$#@**!! Norton cloud backup?
