As a computer repair engineer, I have recommended Norton to many clients and have installed it countless times on client hardware. I am now reconsidering this position in light of the annoying disrespectful way in which a ‘paid for’, previously respected product is being prostituted with cheap up-selling marketing through annoying pop ups.

ty 4 the help :) the ads have even gotten aggressive

Same here, Ive been using Norton for several years and been happy with it until lately and like you I’ve been hit with the pop ups. So glad you posted this video and will give the settings a try. Thanks so much! Keep the great videos coming❣️

Great video as always. Having been an extremely decades long Norton Customer this has been a huge issue for me. I was just speaking to someone how annoyed I was getting with these pop-ups! Thank you very much for showing us how to disable them. Keep up the great work!

Briteco you rock mate! I 100% agree with you and been running Norton for many years. This pop up stuff is driving me crazy, thank you so much for the tip!

This was winding me up...thanks very much Bri, I really appreciated this :)

Hi, I'm one of your follower and you're absolutely right I have been using Norton as my number one protection and never noticed such but now it keeps pupin up every time I wish there could be a way to turn it off completely, Thanks for the enlightenment will continue to following.

I am in uk and have used norton for years. And I have noticed this happening. Thank you for telling me how to stop them

I am using Norton and experienced the same thing as you. I am satisfied with Norton except for the annoying ads. I have turned on silent mode and turned off the special offer notification. Thanks for sharing this. Norton has had its ups and downs over the years.

I agree with you, I paid Norton for over 15 years but now, unless I can stop pop-ups, I will cancel future subscriptions☹

Thanks for sharing is there any security software that you that is better then Norton on Windows 11?

thanks for the tip brian, have been using norton for a few years without any issues ,but since the hook up with the other company might time to change will have to look out .

I turned off the special offers many months ago, yet this morning Norton once again popped up with an advertisement. I confirmed that the "feature" is still turned off, therefore Norton is not paying attention and is pushing ads in spite of my wishes.

I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel! You are a huge help. Did you notice unless you change the startup view to classic, the turn off notifications in settings does not appear.

Many thanks for posting this, I was not aware that Norton had merged with another company. Norton trying to scare me into buying an add-on which I thought my package was already doing has really pissed me off. I am furious with them now and certainly wont be renewing.

Thank you! I have a subscription for multiple computers, so I was seeing these ads as I moved from computer to computer during the day. It multiplied the annoyance!

Oh, my gosh, thank you so much!!! This has been driving me nuts! Just like you, I have used Norton for years and years, and have been fairly satisfied with it, but this recent change with all these pop-up ads, pushing more of their products, is a major annoyance. It is not appropriate for paid customers, just as you said. In addition, it really bogs down my computer and I’m unable to do anything until I get that pop-up closed. Thank you so much for the solution.

thank you! Finally, no more ads. I dealt with this for years because i thought my subscription ran out and is why i am getting ads every time I turn on my computer.

Thanks for posting this. Its disgusting that Norton would be not only sending any of these, but no lie... one a freaking day. What an annoyance and an abuse.

Do we really need antivirus software, when Defender is active ?

Thanks so much, great information well explained. But I first had to figure out how to get to the home screen where the settings tab is, found it eventually.

I had to sign in my computer just to thank you. I really appreciate it, since it's deeply obnoxious! You're a lifesaver!

Thanks for this, been driving me insane. Not sure if I'm going to be renewing it or who I'm going to go to afterwards.

I hadn't realised that Norton and Avast were merging. Seeing this post reminds me that something "questionable" happened (which upset a lot of users) when Avast took over CC Cleaner - causing many to move to alternative products like Glary utilities.

You , sir, are a lifesaver as the pop ups have driven me nuts! Appreciate the background on why with Avast merger. I followed your steps and hope my sanity will return. New subscriber too. Best!,

Thanks for video. I have used Norton since the 90's.

Installed paid Norton 2 days ago and, because of the ads, was going to uninstall today, until I saw your video. Changed settings to your recommendations and we'll see how we go. Thanks heaps Britec09. Also subscribed ✔👍

Thank you I have been wanting to stop those pop ups from norton.

Well, I've got those exact settings set and I still seem to get the pop-ups from Norton. Seems there is some other avenue they are using to serve up the ads.

Great video! All the recent popups have gotten really annoying. Make sure you change your Launch View to 'Classic' instead of 'My Norton'. You aren't able to turn on Silent Mode in the 'My Norton' view.

I have been using Norton for years and haven't really noticed an increase in ads. I went ahead and made the changes you suggested anyway.

Thanks for the video. I assist several seniors with their computer needs. The number of Norton popups they get is seriously annoying. Each time it results in a call or text ‘should I do this.’ At least they ask. I will definitely be making some changes as a result of your video!

I have not used Norton since 1995 they were horrible then, I have been using Kaspersky since 2009 with no problems. Thanks for your expertise and information,👍

This has become very, very annoying from Norton. Something else that needs to be mentioned is that if you disable auto-renewal and you open up Norton in my Norton view, not classic, it constantly covers half of your screen "reminding" you that auto-renewal is turned off. The only thing you can do is click on remind me later, which will hide that for about a week until it's displayed again. There is no option to say don't show me again. They are totally spamming people in paid software.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!

I used to be up on Norton software options but I've become too busy and slacked off. Thanks for the help, mate. I've got everything set so hopefully I won't be caught off guard. I think it's distgusting too how Norton slips in the ads. It's pathetic. Take care. :)

Shouldn't be bothered when you pay for stuff, that is a big turn off to software. Even if free, if there are too much pop ups. It doesn't make you want to pay for it, it just turns you away from it and basically uninstall it. Less ads for free version is better and no ads for paid owners, it really shouldn't be any other way or it just gets to be too much of annoyance. Sorry for rant, this update on Norton is just frustrating.

Hi Brian, I'm using Norton 360, its not up for renewal until march next year and I'm getting these popups, I've used Norton for more years than I can remember, you have saved my insanity. have turned off the popups, thanks for the info . Will be using a different Antivirus when this expires.

I've disabled the special offer notifications but it just reverts back each time I turn my PC back on. This issue has only started recently

That’s one of the reasons I don’t use Norton, also I found Norton let some viruses on customer computers through. I use ESET and advise people to use it, ESET has never let a virus onto any computer I’ve worked on. You’re right, if you pay for a product you shouldn’t have to put up with pop ups

I have used Norton for at least 10 years, and as someone who repairs computers, I have never seen a computer protected by Norton have any 'virus' come through. The problem is that other scanners and installable anti-virus programs tend to have much higher rates of false positives. I also find that Norton offers protection against new threats sooner than most other consumer AV solutions.

I use Norton and also found I'm now getting pops up, especially when plugging in a USB etc which I never used to get. I'm thinking of going to Emsisoft.

I have been using Kaspersky Internet Security for years and been happy with it; however it is near renewal time so I looked to see whether there is a better deal and Norton 360 Deluxe looks promising. With international relations as they are I am also concerned that Kaspersky may be blocked in the US since it is Russian. I agree that I should be pestered with ads on paid software and appreciate this well organized and developed 'how-to' video. I plan to try Norton before my Kaspersky runs out and then decide whether to keep it.

This does not work anymore. I have special offer notifications disabled, but I still get these annoying pop-ups.

August 2022 I have had Special Offers turned off for a long time and I still continue to get these this annoying malware / adware... no, it's malware - it's making me sick.

Hi Brian, yep my Norton is up for renewal in March and they can kiss my arse goodbye. I only have a 4GB ram laptop and I am constantly turning on silent mode on as it always slows me down. The pop-ups are the final straw. Cheers...

Good video, thanks! Just one thing: when I opened Norton the Settings Menu didn't have the Administrative Settings listed. I had to go to Open Device Security, and the window there had the correct Settings option as describer in your video. Just an extra step, but FYI.

I agree with you 300% we are paying for it and still by default we have this pop ups it makes me rethink to continue using Norton I spent more than 1 hour just to discover that even the support was removed and now you have to pay for it and you are left with community which I could not access to even after registering and chat is an annoying robot. It is the decay of Norton I will stop recommending it from now on, and if your troubleshooting does not stop it I will move to another antivirus that does not force you to receive adds for paid product.

I would contact Norton and remind them you are a paying member bombarded with advertisements and fed up with having to go in daily to setting's to fix the problem, and!!! want the option to block once and for all. Secondly, you will pull your support before your next renewal if they don't comply.

If I add guest to my desktop I can access device manager don't know if you know what I mean

I couldn't find it at first. They had changed the view/UI to "My Norton". You have to revert it back to Classic view. Sneeky buggers...

I haven’t used Norton or any other antivirus for years. Ever since using Windows 10 I found Microsoft Defender perfectly adequate.

You should check the pc security channel, it shows how Defender works vs malware and ransomware. While it's better than nothing, and with the cloud services it has greatly improved, it is still not that robust of a service yet. Remember, you are always fine until it happens to you. Just like all those people who refused to do windows updates back before Microsoft made them mandatory after the sasser worm.

thanks for that one bin having pop up all the time bin a big help :)

No problem 👍

Where I live we occasionally experience power (electricity) brown outs or failures. These are momentary as a rule - but Norton seems to always call me on my phone to alert me that there has been a "possible data breach". I have confirmed each time that the caller is actually from Norton (by asking for the case #, then hanging up and calling the Norton number from their website). The case # is real and the true Norton tech wants to explore my computer remotely. I decline of course, because the cause was an electrical failure. What gripes me is about this is the (extreme) level of monitoring it seems that Norton is doing. It feels a little creepy, stalkerish, big brother is watching nonsense. I've requested for those types of phone calls to stop - but Norton persists with it regardless. I'm not going to renew my license over this issue alone. After I research security alternatives, I might not even wait for the license to expire!! Suggests?

I have been using Norton since 2001and font as of lately Norton is no longer about keeping your pc free of adware and other things now there all about mining coins and when they strip me of my Norton Utilities 16 well all i can say is i think i am done with it and will be going to Kaspersky or maybe Bitdefender .

how do you get to admin settings?

I have everything set to stop these ads and they still manage to send up on start up

I use Hitman Pro 3.8 I never had any problem with them with pop-up ads and I have the paid version.

i dont even use norton and dont know how they started or how to stop them

Tried that Norton for a few months, but couldn't get myself to like it ... way to many settings and way to many clicks to quickly need to allow/disallow a program in the firewall ... so no thanks ... back to Avast for now and so much less hassles 😜

this does not work for other adds like adding protection to firefox or chrome or edge that pops up so your video needs to be updated there must be a regestry edit that can be done to stop the adds like a data breach has occured with AT&T sand such

I thought it was strange to see Avast advertising on Television the other evening

Only good thing to come out from Norton AV was the "Bank of Nikolai" early 2000s ad.

Holy crap. Quit telling us all of the gory detail of the delivery and just show us the freaking baby.

Loosing faith because of pop ups? Turn em off. Problem solved! At least they give us that option... Norton has been great. I've been using it for over 15 years and have never been hampered by any debilitating anomalies. And it's not just because "I use Norton". It's because I am careful and use common sense....

Thx. Done

i use Norton.... when it came time to renew, they tried to charge me $149.99.!!!!!!!!!! i called them and got it for $39.99.... not sure how long i will put up with them.... also: i have to keep running 'live update' all the time.!!!! does not update by itself..... shouldn't be called live.... call it 'dead update'

I've used Norton for over 15 years and the more features they ad, they worse it gets. It always quarantine my audio/music plugins I've used for over 20 years and I'm going to try another company.

thank you i was about to switch my av because of this bs.
