#STOP NORTON SECURITY MAC UPDATE#

Update - I have been focussing on settings in Norton 360 having followed/ contributing dialog on a similar Norton Forum. I posted this on the Parallels Forum today. I am still working out how I can add a trusted IP range to my Norton 360 for WIN 10 though? Which 'tamed' the high CPU use issue with Bug Sur/ Parallels Desktop 16 - but still some integration issues I am still working on. If you are running Parallels for Desktop like me I went further.Ī) Added the Parallels subnet address range as per above method fro Mac Norton 360.ī) Uninstalled 'Parallels Tools' from Windows 10 - useful info from Parallels blogĬ) Reloaded ' Parallels Tools' from Parallels

Try this and see how Norton 360 on Mac Big Sur responds for you. I added my router IP address range to the Firewall settings.ġ) Norton>Settings> Firewall>Connection Blocking>Connection blocking dialog box opensĢ) Ensure 'edit settings' has 'trusted network' selectedģ) Select 'View>Zones>Trusted Zone>Add IP Address>, then using the 'ALL IP addresses on a network' dialog box added my router IP range, e.g. Reloaded Norton 360 Mac then did the following. I un-installed Norton 360 Mac then used the Norton Mac utility to completely remove any 'left over' Norton files and settings. assumes a product engineer reads it I guess! given Big Sur required a big architecture change for App suppliers, including Symantec. Hopefully this feedback can help Symantec home in on a fix for Mac. I prefer option (2) above, as it retains independent Norton 360 protection on both the Mac and Win10 sides of the fence. no more Mac CPU loading by the 'prl_naptd' process and the Mac laptop fan going into 'takeoff mode'. a work around I successfully used on the earlier combinations of Mac OS/ Norton 360 Mac/ Parallels/ Win 10. (2) Retain Norton 360 on the Mac side and Norton 360 on the Parallels/ Win 10 side and use the Parallels Hardware/ Network/ Default Adapter (Bridged Network) setting.

(1) Uninstall Norton for Mac (include using the Norton clean up tool to entirely wipe clean) and just relying on good old Mac firewall on the Mac and Norton 360 on the Parallels/ Windows 10 side. cpu loading up (prl_naptd) and the fans sounding like a jet engine, etc.

I am am now running Mac OS Big Sur/ Parallels Version 16.1.1 (49141)/ Norton 360 8.6 Mac/ Norton 360 Win10īack to the the same old problem of Support saying to reinstall to fix (it doesn't). It took Symantec some time to sort out Norton 360 on the Mac for these earlier Mac OS/ Parallels versions. I am a Parallels on Mac user and have experienced similar blocking problems on earlier versions of Mac OS/ Norton 360 Mac/ Parallels when using Parallels Hardware/ Network/ Shared Network setting, which manifested itself as excessive CPU use on the Mac side (and the fan ramped up to cool the Mac).
