Does anyone know what the option for remote management does in the Norton Security app actually does? I switched it on briefly and thought it may show some additional features in the My Norton control panel (e.g., for running scans remotely), but it didn't.
Thanks for that. However, even if I enable remote management, when I go to my Norton dashboard, there are no options listed for any of my devices, except to rename them. Also, my two laptops are shown as being offline, but they aren't (I'm using one of them to write this reply).
@SixtiesFan That's all I see as well---the ability to rename them. I've only been experimenting with this Norton on my old Windows 10 Desktop and Laptop, A97LE and X551CA respectively. I have only installed the Security and none of the Internet options. I also use uBlock Origin browser extension which is probably interfering as well because I get varying results as regards them being online. Need to investigate that later when I have more time. Currently if I go to the X551CA it says it is Offline and the A97LE is Online. From the A97LE I see this ---but it is not consistent
I'm also seeing a message on the Norton Dashboard that my computer's aren't connected to the internet, so I am unable to read my reports. So at the moment, apart from downloading installation files, the online portal at Norton is pretty useless. Is anyone else having this problem?
@SixtiesFan Yes, I am seeing that as well. Says the devices aren't connected to the internet but they obviously are as they both show as being Online and I have just run a Liveupdate and Quickscan on both. Temporarily I have removed the uBlock extension on both PC's.
I still find that the status of the PC's will change from Online to Offline. I agree with you---I won't be deleting the device and reinstalling as recommended by the Norton Help Desk. What I have discovered is that just simply doing a Refresh on the screen restores the true status.
I think basically the app is doing the job as regards security but will have limitations since it is a modified version provided by Norton to BT. So we might not get all the "frills" that would be included in the app as sold by Norton. I'm sure when I previously used MacAfee that it had similar limitations---for instance I think I could only do Full Scans and not Quick ones.
Need clarification as to whether or not that feature should work.
More strange things happening on the Norton web portal. It still thinks I have two devices with Norton installed on them, whereas I only currently have it on the one laptop. Only the third screenshot reflects the true situation, so even different parts of the web portal don't agree with each other and also, there is no way to remove the device that currently doesn't have Norton on it (Laptop 2) as it doesn't appear on the list of installations, (as shown in the third screenshot).
