I'd like to ask everyone else here as well if they could also recommend some good security software packages like Norton, but unaffiliated with Symantec. Thanks to all in advance.

Back when I still used Microshaft Windows, I used ESET for security.
Back then it had a smaller ‘footprint’ more frequent virus definitions updates and caught more bd stuff with fewer false positives than Norton or Macaffee etc. I liked it.
