Turn off Norton protection on Windows

Turn off Norton protection on Windows

To temporarily turn off Norton Protection, you need to log on to your computer with an Administrator user account. For Standard user accounts, some of the settings may appear disabled (grayed out).

  1. In the notification area on the taskbar, right-click the Norton product icon, and then click the following:

    • Disable Auto-Protect

    • Disable Firewall

  1. In the Security Request window, in the Select the duration drop-down list, select the duration for which you want to turn off Norton protection.

  1. Click OK.

    Norton turns on the features automatically after the duration you specify in the Security Request window. To turn on Norton protection manually, in the notification area on the taskbar, right-click the Norton product icon, and then click Enable Auto-Protect/Enable Firewall.
