New Norton UI and version experience

[shellcoder]

Recently, I got the new UI and version upgrade. Finally, Norton added some useful features for Mac users. But it’s still missing so many new features from Windows version. Please add more features to Mac version. The new UI looks much intuitive and organized too.

Thanks

I find V24.9 to be very clean efficient and worthy to use. It may have some bugs here and there but a vast improvement in my opinion from V22.

Still don’t really know if this is Avast engines or not.

When I upgraded to the new version (24.9.2) I actually had core functionality removed that was present in previous versions. One significant example was in discovering that the Scheduling Functionality for Live Update has been removed. You are no longer able to schedule regular, periodic virus definition file updates on a schedule of your choosing. From my perspective this significantly increases device vulnerability, for example in not having current solutions for recently released “Zero-Day” viruses and malware. It also prevents me from scheduling updates during off-hours for all my devices. The scheduling functionality was maintained for setting up Scans, but “Live” Updates are now “Manually-Triggered, Customer-Initiated Updates”. I spent over an hour on the phone with Tier 1 Customer Support today verifying this issue and searching throughout the new UI, but neither of us (nor their supervisor) could find a method to configure Live Updates. And - another issue is that they were not able to restore my previous version of Nortons so that I could maintain my regular updates while they were working on a solution. Apparently, even if the previous version was able to be installed, it would also automatically “upgrade” to the newest version without the functionality at a later date/time. If anyone has discovered a work-a-round to this please feel free to respond back to me. Obviously, I don’t know what I don’t know here, so any direction or guidance would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Enjoy the rest of your week, guys!

“Live” Updates are now “Manually-Triggered, Customer-Initiated Updates”.

Norton LiveUpdates automatically pushed to your device are streaming updates.

The automatic signature creation is a patented Avast process called Evo-Gen (others have a form of that too).
Avast data scientists have developed ways to extract few bytes of similarity from a large, unorganized pile of mess (malware). Using machine learning and behavioural detection, signature is created in a matter of minutes, tested for false positives and delivered as a streaming update. here

@David_Wright If you’d still like to get on the previous version please follow this guide from my previous post. Note: Disable automatic update the instant the reverted version is installed. Use intelligent updater to keep definitions up to date and, DO NOT manually run live updates or smart scan for any reason. Edited: This is for Windows not MAC. Use the MAC removal tool instead.

Thread for version 24.xx issues and suggestions

@skiingj There is a way to go back to the older version 22.24.8.36. I believe I posted how to do that in another post here. Here is what I did. I used the removal tool for version 24.xx and performed a removal only. Then removed ALL folders related to Norton, Symantec, Avast manually and rebooted. Version 24.xx removal tool: https://www.norton.com/nortonremover Next download the older version here, when you manually run LU and have version 22.24.8.36 disable automatic updates in settings and…

Direct link to the version 22.24.8.36 installer:

All: It looks like version 25 has been release. Others are reporting getting it already.

V25 is getting Pushed?

So apparently that’s happening now. With the ongoing v24 mess, I jut got updated to V25 25.1.9816 So far I don’t know what was changed, but I’m concerned with the new version that some of my settings may have been defaulted. I am seeing a ton of ‘Rule Windows Networking in Allowed UDP(17) traffic’. Seems to be related to traffic on my router which makes me think the new V25 update reset my firewall setting?
