Disclaimer: I do not have admin password, i cant enter bios, and i cant use certain process that require admin on cmd.

​

Background info: Norton family is a child monotoring software that i want to bypass, i have tried over, and over again, for 4 years, nothing has worked on the internet. Norton family has a range of things you can do in it, like set time limits on a user, and restrict websites (i’ve bypassed restricted websites with a vpn), norton can also monitor data and send it to my dad. There is also an application called norton 360 that is like an antivirus thing, and its so annoying because it will just remove applications even though its not even a virus. Time restrictions work like this: every 5 seconds there will be a pop up window saying “you have reached your time limit” or something like that and you will be logged out and have to enter your password and it repeats, so last night i was playing with task manager, and decided to end task on one of the norton family processes, and it worked! the pop up didnt happen… But i realised it would make a new process of the one i ended and i would have to keep ending the task.

​

*What i need done*:

Can someone make a software that will kill a proccess in my task manager called “Norton Family”, the problem is:, When i do it manually i have to keep doing it every 5 seconds, so its kinda annoying.There are two proccess that are called norton family, the one i want to end the process with is the one without the drop down box (actually it might have a drop down box but we’ll get to that later on). There should be a drop down box in the Norton Family process, and inside it there should be a gear icon that says “Norton Family”, thats the process i dont want to end, but in the other process also called “Norton family” there should be no drop down box, thats the one i want to end, BUT i’ve noticed that the first time i end the Norton family application without the drop down box it will end for 5 seconds, before making a new process of itself and then i have a few seconds to end it before the pop up window.But when that new process is made again after i end the old one there is now a drop down box, and inside it theres a thing called “Norton family” (Again) that has a window icon, that thing inside the drop down box is just a window on my pc that says norton family needs a restart, i always click no, lol, so pretty harmless.

By the way, the reason i want to end a specific task of Norton family is because if i try to end the task with the drop down box that has a gear icon in it, it will just say you need admin privileges where as the other one wont say that.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, and i also have norton 360 on my laptop

LOL, I use Norton360 and Norton Family with my kids.

I can’t help you get around it like that, however, my oldest talked me into unlocking hers for some reason or other, and proceeded to tell me I needed to enter the PIN.

Without thinking, I did, and then she knew it. Took me a while to figure out she got me.

There is a way to do this but I won’t explicitly give you code just some pointers.

This likely involves a powershell or a batch script that will consistently end the task when it shows up.

You can use ChatGPT to help you with the actual code.

You could, have tried searching your questions on Google like “How to bypass Norton Family/360”. I am sure you would have found resources.

There was this exploit from a few years ago with a script.

Good luck OP, I understand you that sucks, I wish parents’ did not try such evasive protections to extremely shield you from the terror of the web cause, how would they learn and maybe an they should implemented an soft restrictions like blocking certain websites in an preventive way. Or even discussing kindly with the child with the concerns and problems of these websites with then educating them why it’s not safe for them until they are able to comprehend or understand the actions or be emotionally and responsible prepared to use those platforms.

Your computer is most likely not going to have an BIOS password, so install a second operating system like Linux distro e.g. Linux Mint or Ubuntu or another copy of windows then none of the Norton protections would come in your way.

EDIT: My bad I did not know you did not have access to BIOS. You can try other exploits like change the ease of access button to CMD, then gain an administration account and remove the Norton Family.

Thought about simply wiping your drive and reinstalling windows? Or maybe Linux?

lol no, im just really desperate

also can you tell me along the lines on what to say i’ve been trying for hours on bard ai, nothings worked :confused:

9

bro please, i’ve had enough of this shitty antivirus, and can you also give me some pointers, like is it on youtube…?

10

i already tried the reddit post you showed before, and i think my dad would go ballistic if i watched the youtube tutorial…

11

yup my dad would go mad

$targetProcessID = Read-Host "Enter the Process ID to terminate"
while ($true) { #Check if the process with the specified PID exists
    
    $process = Get-Process -Id $targetProcessID -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    
    if ($process -ne $null) {
        Write-Host "Process with ID $targetProcessID exists. Attempting to terminate..."
        try {
            Stop-Process -Id $targetProcessID -Force
            Write-Host "Process terminated successfully."
        } catch {
            Write-Host "Failed to terminate the process. Error: $_"
        }
    }
    else 
    { 
        Write-Host "Process with ID $targetProcessID not found."
        break 
    }
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
}
Write-Host "Process monitoring script finished."

You can save this script in a .ps1 file and run it using PowerShell. And you can find the process ID(PID) in the task manager.

Use a VPN then, I don’t know how your “parent” would see over the domain name “YouTube.com” as even a DNS system does not show full links. If that was the case your parents would have seen your desperate cry for help in the Reddit posts.

Imma be honest this is fucking nuts, it sounds psychopathic.

15

And he won’t when you bypass Norton?

16

this might sounds kinda dumb, but

when it says $targetProcessID = Read-Host “Enter the Process ID to terminate” do i actually put the process id of norton family in there, and also idk how to save it as a .ps1 file, sorry im a noob ;-;

17

he doesnt check often, and i dont even think he knows what im doing on reddit

18

i just have to keep it a secret from him

19

No, when you run the program you will get the message
“Enter the Process ID to terminate” and now you will have to put the process ID.

and also idk how to save it as a .ps1 file

Save it as a text file using notepad and just change the extension. Rename the file from example.txt to example.ps1. If you can’t see known file extensions just Google how to do it.

this is what it says when i try opening it in vs code and running it:

Stop-Process : Cannot stop process “NF (14240)” because of the following error: Access is denied
