Many Norton programs in the background

I just opend my taskmanager and i see a lot of Norton software running.

Is this normal? Do i need to worry?

Thanks.

That is normal. Norton runs a different process for each feature that is running in the background to protect your system.

@Switch0r The top 4 entries are most likely showing the Norton UI being open. I see that on both Windows 10 and 11 machines. Its normal.

The two entries with high memory usage, I do NOT see running at any time on my machines. Does manually running live updates and a restart correct the issue? Were there web activity happening when this screenshot was taken?

This with Norton running in the background

This is what I see in task manager, with Opera GX open here on this site. No other Norton add-on’s installed or loading. The Norton UI is NOT open.

I have 4 norton programs running with no logo so i hope it is not a virus :slight_smile:

Have you tried a repair of your Norton install to see if that makes a difference?
