What is the error message you are seeing?
If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:
Bumping this for visibility. Norton just updated itself and all of my icons now have the double arrows (see attached screenshot). There used to be a setting something along the lines of “Disable Backup Overlays” but I can’t find it now. I guess the new UI ditched the Norton Classic view as well? I think it used to be there.
Same here. Have Norton 360 vers 25, can’t find how to remove the green (backed up) ticks on my thumbnails. Can’t get classic view which allowed removal of overlays. Any advice? Cheers
I have the same problem. I cancelled my subscription because of this. It’s not only annoying, it actually slows down my work. Because of the overlays, I can no longer at a glance distinguish a Word file from an Excel file.
How to disable the overlays? If there is no solution, I will have to remove Norton from my system today, rather than to wait for my subscription to run out.
Waiting for Norton to tell us how to disable these annoying overlays. Or perhaps Norton doesn’t accept user input and just makes changes on their own.
Everyone:
Here is an update that is for all of you and others, long overdue. These threads have been watched by Norton for action. There will be a corrective fix coming soon. Norton keeping with their model of releases and fixes never gives a time line. Stay tuned.

Thanks. I have given up waiting for Norton to fix this backup icon overlay mess as like for other users, these icon overlays get in the way of distinguishing files at a glance. I have deleted my backup with Norton, thereby removing the imposed unwanted overlays, and have moved to another cloud backup company.
I will be canceling my subscription because of this ridiculous issue: backup icon overlay mess and the recently missing ability to remove them. Many people have complained and Norton support cannot deal with the issue. I have already gone to another AV program and handle backups with a different application. Norton needs to care about their customers more. Failing to hear about a change to this issue, my subscription will be ending after being subscribed for MANY YEARS.
