I used to be an Avast user, but I wanted to migrate to Norton for several reasons. Now there’s one thing I liked about Avast that I can’t do in Norton, let me tell you.
In Avast, I could manually download database updates without having to update the program as well.
Because I realize that in Norton I’m forced to update the program along with the daily updates.
I wanted to know if there’s a way to block Norton program updates to the next version, like I do in Avast, since both are from the same company. If there is, please let me know, because this would prevent several problems for me.

ja du kan gøre det men hvis du opdatere systemet vil du også opdatere norton 360 til den nyeste version da de er link men det vil være dumt ikke at opdatere den da norton kæmper med jeg tror ca 5 store fejl som var planlagt til 25.10 det er derfor alle de seneste opdateringer har være mega tamme 26.1 kommer ikke før de har alle opdateringer færdig hvornår det så er når de er klar køre alt som det plejer igen
It would be great if the Norton team could do the same thing Avast does, block Norton program updates.
Giving me the option to update whenever I want.
hvis jeg var dig så spørg support for at få det rigtige svar 100% men jeg mener der er sådan men jeg kan jo tage fejl man kan måske block det eller vad men som jeg sagde jeg er jo ikke expert 100% så jeg kan jo miss a ting men jeg er dog høj rang men derfor kan jeg jo miss en ting eller 2

Thanks for the clarification, but I believe someone from the Norton team can read the forum and the comments and verify this, as happens in other forums I visit.
@New_Style_xd I’m not an Norton employee but can give you the answers you are asking for.
- Current Norton products, no longer can use the Intelligent updates to just update viral definitions because Norton no longer supports them.
- Current Norton products are 100% direct cloud based downloads via the UI.
The only way to shut down updates is the setting shown below, which will, disable ALL updates including viral defs. Not a practical setting indeed.
** Those are not expected to change in the near term, Norton has not provided any information otherwise, directly nor indirectly. I can suggest you add a product feature suggestion on the Product Suggestions board for better visibility.
