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?

Just been updated too. Checked my settings and they appear to be retained. I might be imagining it, but the program seems a bit faster, more responsive. I have just rebooted after the update though.

No updates on the Announcements page thus far.

Wondering if this version has even more sneaky upselling ads than v24?

All: I am asking why the release and without any up front notice via release announcement. Booting my Windows 11 laptop now with 24.xx to validate for everyone.

@Brocktoon Je ne sais pas ce qui a changé dans cette version 25.1.9816 (version 25.1.9816.0), mais je constate également que l’historique de sécurité, affiche de nombreuses règles “Windows Networking In” dans le trafic UDP(17) autorisée. Je précise qu’en ce qui me concerne, je n’ai pas créé de règles personnalisées dans le pare-feu.

ALL: I believe they’ve just renamed the mess we’ve been dealing with to V25. I don’t see any visual changes, and I still have the same 4 or 5 issues I did before.
1-Software updater runs even though turned off.
2-Live update runs all day even though set to manual.
3- Constant-- New Rules UDP(17) traffic which I cannot edit (52x in 4 hours)
4-No Identity tab on black left side border.

Bonsoir,
Mon historique de sécurité est identique au vôtre.
En revanche, c’est étrange que votre onglet “identité” soit toujours absent.


Bref, je crois que “nous ne sommes pas au bout de nos peines”

Time to create a thread for version 25 separately?

Thanks for the heads up @majorbuzz. I’m incredulous that the app ignores our settings! Makes a mockery of offering options if they’re going to be ignored. By chance, are you able to get more info about source/destination of the UDP traffic from your router’s log?

Does anyone know what local and remote ports Norton uses?

Version 25 thread is here everyone!!

Hello, for the presence or not of the “Identity” section in the left menu, I presume that this is an adaptation to your subscription and to the fact that your product is or not connected to your Norton account. Can check the contents of your subscription and that you are logged in to your Norton account on this device. Thanks.

Hi @Guillaume1024. Thanks for your help. I originally had an ‘identity’ tab at some point in V24, and then it just vanished. I am fully subscribed and logged in. Upon receiving V25 yesterday it is still not there. Cheers! :slight_smile:

Norton v25 update killed my internet speed. Before upgrade I was using v22. I confirmed the speed by Desktop app SPEEDTEST. I have created a ticket with Norton Support. Before upgrade I was getting 3195 Mbps and after upgrade to v25, I am getting 901.77 Mbps download speed.

Everyone: Please post version 25 issues in the thread linked below where we can track them, not having them scattered all over the forums. We did the same with version 24, dedicating a thread specific to that version. Thanks in advance.
