Learn more about Silent Mode that turns on automatically

When you watch a movie, play games, or make a presentation, you run the application in the full-screen mode. Your Norton product detects the application that you run in the full-screen mode and automatically enables Silent Mode. When Silent Mode is enabled, your Norton product suppresses most of the alerts and suspends background activities. Only those activities run that are involved in protecting your computer from viruses and other security threats. Minimum background activities also ensure high performance of your computer. The activities that are suspended run after you finish using the application in the full-screen mode.

Your Norton product identifies an active full-screen application and turns on Silent Mode. When Silent Mode is enabled, your Norton product suppresses alerts and notifications and suspends background activities to provide uninterrupted sessions for Silent Mode options such as Full Screen Detection.
