Norton security problems

If you log out of your Account between each of your listed tests, it should require a password for each time you open the app again. I just tried opening and closing the app and was asked each time for a login. Even leaving the app logged in and restarting the phone, the LifeLock app asked for a password. True enough — and that may be what I wind up doing for the Lifelock app — but as long as the Norton VPN is extant there is nothing to prevent a hacker who has breached my device security from deleting the lifelock app and reinstalling it to get past the login credentials.

I purchased Norton Deluxe with Lifelock a little over a year ago. As far as it's protection, it is a great product. Though I do have a big issue with their service, this is their constant ads.

I turned off my popups in windows so it stops notifying me but that is an annoyance on a paid product to be loaded with ads. Now they want me to use my computer's idle time for money. Well if they just had 1 banner ad and then let me close out that, it woul Show More d be fine.

Nope, now when I open up Norton to look at it there is a giant banner on top causing me to scroll through to get the the services I need. Why not make this closeable? Again, I am paying for this, enough with the ads. Guess what? Again with ads Again, I should be able to close this, there is a service behind this and I cannot access it because this ad is blocking it.

Literally blocking the product I have paid for. They have seriously blocked me from using a paid product by a stack of 6 ads for other services I might want. I buy antivirus for the obvious protection. I run a small business and I need my stuff secure, I need financials safe, I need to know that my customer's information is safe, I need to be able to communicate safely and reliably with customers so my phone and computer must have protection so I don't lose everything. I completely understand Norton having better options, having other services available to me if needed.

They are a great product and have ways to make it better. What I think they should do instead of keeping constant banners and ads and popups is have a selectable option Need Something Else? Hell, having 1 banner or ad pop up roughly once a month that had a little "x" on it which I could close to not see again would be fine.

That is what other services do. But this constant annoyance has brought me here, to knock their otherwise great product, because I feel if enough people know and share their negative experience Norton will hopefully change this to something a little less undesirable.

I have literally wasted 30 minutes because of my annoyance, thank you Norton. I initially posted this elsewhere, just wanted to expand potential views of my post. VERY Unethical company.

If I could give them NO stars I would. Had heard so many great things about Norton thought I'd give it a try. Installed the free trial they offered. It would not work. Could not get it to even open. Kept getting messages that it could not "connect". Uninstalled and re-installed it after making sure all remnants of previous install was removed.

Sat on phone NO ONE answered. No response to multiple emails. Finally removed it from my system. Show More has expired. My email address had to come from Norton.

It was an email that I seldom used and then ONLY for personal correspondence with three 3 family members. To this day the only consistent spam email I get at that email address is regarding Norton. Makes me believe this company, that brags about how secure our personal information entrusted to them, is selling our email address. Would never trust them again. Will never allow them near any personal information again Anyone may hunt but shall stay decent when partnering with others, respecting the heritage and our predecessors that built it in part.

Hi folks, Since a couple of days, if not weeks, I noticed a lot of performance issues on my PC in particular when being online. You may remove or rename NCrypt.

Also note that the product announcement Introducing Norton Crypto! Norton took all the profit. Back to top. Reg: Jan This forum thread needs a solution.

Kudos 0. Hi folks, I just learned that the recent update of Norton Internet Security planted ncrypt. Please understand that I don't like this idea.
