Norton 360 is a comprehensive security solution developed by Norton LifeLock (formerly Symantec Corporation). Norton offers a wide range of cybersecurity features to protect your devices and data such as Dark Web monitoring, Safe Web Browsing, Cloud backup and parental control. In this article, you will learn how to enable or disable Norton silent mode on Mac. Please see Unattended mode: How to install the Microsoft PSWindowsUpdate module silently, how to Can’t connect via RDP upon installing Norton 360, and Various Msiexec.exe Command Line Switches.

In addition to the above features provided by Norton 360, it includes a VPN that enables you to browse the web more securely and anonymously, and also offers cloud backup services to store your data.

The anti-virus solution will still protect your PC from malware while it is in silent mode. But you will no longer receive any notification, and the software won’t conduct any background scans.
