Following the data breaches, I purchased Norton 360 with Lifelock Ultimate Plus. Occasionally my screen flickers, resembling a flash when a program attempts to open. After updating my graphics card and BIOS, it seems like a program is still trying to launch. Could my Norton be contributing to this issue? I've been using it for a few weeks now, but only noticed the flickering recently. Appreciate any advice.

Create a system restore point, remove Norton, and if the issue continues, revert to the saved state. If it doesn't work, keep it removed permanently.

Due to the Social Security breaches in April, I can lock three credit agencies. It also includes a home title watch.

I don't have the logs, so I started it now. Where can I get the logs for Norton?

You can stop the three credit bureaus without Norton for free. What is a home title monitor actually intended to do? You require significantly more details about a person than just their SS number before you can secure a loan against a house. With years of experience in this field, I can share that Norton and its software may only delay or create issues with your PC, at most. I express this honestly because I dislike how Norton continues to take money from people with promises of exclusive benefits for their software.

no you can't freeze them i tried but had to switch to the Experian one then canceled it when i got norton. home title lock means no one can access your information or title for your house. the issue is i've been using norton here longer than the flicking page popup, so it must be something else.

I assure you it is possible to place a hold on each of the three credit bureaus, including Experian, without cost. I did this about four years ago after someone stole my SS card; I used it to secure a new job. I set a one-year hold on all three bureaus for two consecutive years without spending any money. I won’t bother you further on this matter.

There are several factors that have shifted since then. Norton is an antivirus program that regularly updates and scans your computer. Combined with the continuous updates to your operating system, it can sometimes lead to conflicts—though these are rare now compared to a decade ago.

The test suggested by @DaleH is an effective method to check for such conflicts. We can analyze the results after we have a clear starting point from the test. I also have a few more questions: when did you update your BIOS to its latest version? Did you reset the CMOS after updating it? Were you noticing any stuttering before the BIOS change?

I solved it, had to fix the Windows image, and now everything works fine. It's been a couple of days without any issues. Thanks for all the assistance.
