Note: Please do not post Personally Identifiable Information like email address, personal phone number, physical home address, product key etc.

Issue abstract: VPN turned on because content tampering detected.

Detailed description: “some of the websites on your device have been altered for the purposes of fraud” but no further information. How can I identify the offending websites?

Product & version number: Norton 360

OS details: Android 14

What is the error message you are seeing?

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:

What device are you using?

What apps did you have active when you got this message?

Did you run a Smart Scan from the 360 home page? Then I would suggest a second opinion scan with the free Malwarebytes.

Then restart your device and see if this happens again.

I’m using Nokia Android Version 12 phone.

Motorola G73 5G, Android 14. I have run Norton 360 checks and they do not identify any problems. If I reboot my phone so that memory is clear and no browsers are open, the VPN immediatelt switches on with the message indicated previously. I am frustrated that Norton appears to have identified a problem but does not provide the details necessary to take further action.

Any chance you also have the standalone Norton Secure VPN app installed? If so, try uninstalling that.

Where are you seeing this message? Within the 360 app, or in the Android notification area?

A screenshot of the message may help diagnose what you are seeing. How to post screenshots in the NEW forums!

No, only Norton 360 Premium. The screenshot shows only what I have posted previously. The message is within 360 app.

Sorry, I can’t see how to include/upload the screenshot.

Did you check the link I gave for how to post screenshots?

What format is your image you are trying to post?

It is a jpg. I have tried sending a reply with the screenshot, but it does not work. There is no radio button as described in the instructions, and I am told that I cannot embed a media file in a post.
