About the Silent Mode that you turn on manually
Norton 360 lets you manually turn on Silent Mode for
a specified duration. When Silent Mode is turned on,
Norton 360 suppresses alerts and suspends background
activities for the duration that you specify. You can
verify the turn-on status of Silent Mode in the
notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. The
Norton 360 icon in the notification area changes to a
crescent-patterned icon to display the turn-on status
of Silent Mode. Turning on Silent Mode manually
before you perform your tasks helps you prevent alerts,
notifications, or background activities interrupting
you for the specified duration.
You can turn on Silent Mode for a period of one hour,
two hours, four hours, six hours, or one day. After the
specified duration, Norton 360 turns off Silent Mode.
You can also manually turn off Silent Mode at any time.
Norton 360 notifies you after Silent Mode is turned off.
The activities that are suspended when Silent Mode is
turned on run after Silent Mode is turned off.
