Reinstall Norton 360
Perpetuo Carlson
I have a laptop that I had to reinstall Norton 360 on after the perfectly good installation broke (not sure why, but it was a fair bit of work to finally get it to uninstall and be able to reinstall it). I have a backup set for that laptop in Norton's cloud that I would like to continue using. When I go into the backup section of the software on the laptop, it currently doesn't show any existing backup sets. I don't need to download any files from it, just reconnect to it so to speak.
Is there a way to sort of reconnect to that backup that's sitting in the cloud? I would prefer to do that than to start over by deleting the backup and then creating a new one and then re-uploading 10gb to the cloud all over again.
This also applies to me doing a clean install on my PC in the near future. I have around 40gb of backup files in the cloud as well. I would first download the files (I know how to do that), and then I would like to reconnect to that backup (to save me from uploading 40gb again).
You can connect to the backups in the cloud to do a Restore. Just start a Restore process and choose the online cloud storage as the source and you can choose the backup sets you already have saved in the cloud.
Yes that's unfortunate there's no way to connect that orphan backup sitting in the cloud to the computer again. That makes for a lot of wasted bandwidth. At least most plans from ISPs now are unlimited.
I think eventually when I reformat my PC my best bet will be to make a backup that same day to my portable drive and restore from that. That way I only have to upload once to the cloud when activating the new backup set. Not downloading from the cloud also avoids me having to sift through my files to delete the multiple versions of the same file that are stored as well as anything that was deleted previously.

I have Norton installed on 3 PCs, but one of them does not have the "Run Smart Scan" button when I bring up the My Norton page from the taskbar. It's a new PC, so I'm stumped why the button would not show up.
(I believe now part of the reason is because the PC came preinstalled with a different version of Norton.)

I have the Norton Security for 5 devices and put one on my new iMac, but when I click on Advanced Customize it doesn't open. Nothing happens. I was hoping if I uninstalled norton and reinstalled it then it would work. I tried the norton uninstall, but it said it didn't work with OS systems. Does anyone know who I can either get the Advance to work so I can use the settings or how to uninstall it and reinstall?
Someone beat me to it but all I can say is, if Norton paid me one million dollars to install their software on my Macs, I would do it and use part of the money to buy a new Mac without their software installed.
Installing any antivirus application on a Mac is not recommended unless you want an unstable and crashing computer. OS X is extremely secure and only needs to be kept up-to-date to remain so. AV, cleaning, or ANY other third party tools for keeping OS X running well are are total waste of time, energy and system resources.
I followed the instructions provided on Norton to uninstall it, but after running it on the terminal to said it didn't find any files for symantec. I don't have symantec solutions. The only thing I have is the Norton icon in the dock and when I click it gives me the option of running live update, and a quick or full scan. Are there any other ideas for getting this off of my iMac?
Do not reinstall Norton. It will seriously slow down your computer and may also cause other issues. Mac's cannot be infected with any virus, so why would you spend good money on Norton for something which does no good for you?

I have uninstalled Norton using several methods and I still have the Norton Download Manager popping up. I want to get rid of Norton completely. I have tried the Norton Utilities, I have tried MS-Config. Nothing works.
check to make sure it isn't in your public folders... I searched and researched, I went into the registries, deleted all norton products in the registry keys as well as in windows currentversion run & runonce (if it in there) and then discovered when I deleted it from the runonce folder within the registry under microsoft windows for local user, I saw the window pop right back up and the key automatically reappear after I just deleted... that is when I SAW where the program was hiding... it was hiding under user\public\downloads (or public downloads). I deleted it from there, and then went back to the registry and deleted it from the keys again that reproduced themselves.
