I H@TE the latest version of Norton

I was surprised that a new and different version of Norton 360 was installed. The user interface is totally different had hard to navigate. Somehow a startup scan was activated and it took 10 minutes for my PC to boot when it normally takes less than a minute. Finally I was was using the cloud backup to do nightly incremental backups and that seems to be gone.

WTF?

How do I get the old Norton back?

BTW, I also manage the desktops at my religious school and if this is going to happen there, i’ll be looking to replace it with something simpler.

Finally, ever since Norton and Lifelock joined, it seems to be a marketing company constantly trying to get you to buy more products with endless ads.

Seriously, Norton… stop making things difficult.

Please help.

I hate it too, my problem is every website I go to i get these dam popups. It says I have browser protection which I don’t, nor do I have any Norton extensions. Then when I finally push the Scan PC all it does is scan then tell me I should buy Norton Utilities for 16.99. Norton’s did an update 9/30 and that’s when it started.I have no control over these pop ups.

Does Norton 360 v24 LiveUpdate run okay?
Does Norton 360 v24 QuickScan run okay?
And you’re run Norton LiveUpdate and restarted (not Shut down) machine?

I just checked my laptop and it also did an update on 9/30 and it scans and tells me to purchase Norton Utilities Ultimate

Please ignore Norton marketing. Run QuickScan instead of SmartScan.
