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.
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.
Care to share screenshot/s of dam popups? I get error message when i add a jpeg
popups from Norton? yes every 60 seconds or when I go to a new website
Did you recently install any programs or browser extensions? Yes Norton 360 self updated
Did you recently allow push notifications? NO - norton did that on its own
Did you recently change site permissions? NO
I click yes for smart scan - then it tells me for 16.99 I can download NORTON utilities to fix issues.
