Norton Internet Security lets you manually turn on Silent Mode for a specified duration. When Silent Mode is turned on, Norton Internet Security suppresses alerts and suspends background activities for the duration that you specify. You can verify the turn-on status of Silent Mode in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. The Norton Internet Security icon in the notification area changes to a crescent-shaped icon to display the turn-on status of Silent Mode. Turning on Silent Mode manually before you perform your tasks helps you prevent alerts, notifications, or background activities interrupting you for the specified duration.

You can turn on Silent Mode for a period of one hour, two hours, four hours, or six hours. After the specified duration, Norton Internet Security turns off Silent Mode. You can also manually turn off Silent Mode at any time. Norton Internet Security notifies you after Silent Mode is turned off. The activities that are suspended during Silent Mode run after Silent Mode is turned off.
