About the Silent Mode that you turn on manually
Norton Internet Security lets you manually turn on
Silent Mode for a specified duration. When Silent Mode
is turned on, Norton Internet Security 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 Internet Security 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 Internet Security turns off
Silent Mode. You can also manually turn off Silent
Mode at any time. Norton Internet Security 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.
