<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an external hard drive and each time I plug it in, I can't disconnect it without turning off the PC. I believe that the Norton Protected Recycle Bin is accessing the drive and it wont allow me to stop using the plug and play device, so my only safe option is to turn off the machine.<br />
<br />
I believe that if I somehow tell Norton to not protect&nbsp;my external drives recycle bin, then I will be able to plug and unplug the disk anytime, like I do with thumb drives or photo camera memories.<br />
<br />
How can I disable specific drives from having their recycle bin protected by Norton?<br />
<br />
The version I have is the Norton Systemworks 2003, that comes with Norton Utilities and Norton Cleansweep.<br />

How to disable Norton Protected Recycle Bin on specific drives?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
