Add or remove programs in the Quiet Mode Programs list
Your Norton product automatically turns on Quiet Mode when it detects a disk-burning session. When Quiet Mode is turned on, your Norton product suspends the background activities but does not suppress alerts and notifications.
In addition, you can manually add the programs for which you want your Norton product to turn on Quiet Mode. These programs get added to the Quiet Mode Programs list. When your Norton product detects a running instance of a program that you added in the list, it automatically turns on Quiet Mode.
However, when you add a running program, your Norton product does not detect the current running instance of the program to turn on Quiet Mode. Your Norton product turns on Quiet Mode the next time when the program runs.
You can only add the programs that have .exe file extension to the Quiet Mode Programs list.
You can also remove a running program from the Quiet Mode Programs list. However, you cannot turn off Quiet Mode for a running program by removing the program from the Quiet Mode Programs list. Quiet Mode for that program turns off only after the running instances of all the programs in the list are complete.
You can view the details of the programs that you added or removed from the Quiet Mode Programs list in the Security History window.
