I will never put Nortons on any computer again.
I stopped using Norton back at Win98. It created too many hardware and software conflicts.
I later tried McAfee. NEVER again -- even though my ISP offers it for free. I tried it once; it got to be bloatware. I also tested their firewall, which I didn't like and uninstalled (I thought). After I dumped everything McAfee, I would get popups about every 3 months asking me to retry McAfee. I couldn't get rid of the popups, until I had a major crash and had to reinstall everything.
AVG was good for a while, but it, too, became bloatware. I dumped it for AVAST!, but the newer version conflicted with some of my other programs. I dropped AVAST! and went with MS Security Essentials. MSSE seems to work without any conflicts.

Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite used to be my thing.
And then they went berserk.
Haven’t used them in 4 years...or more.
MalwareBytes is really good for most things.
AVG Free grabs most of the stuff that MWB misses.

Agreed. Nortons is over with. Went to McAfees, but it got too bloated. Now run Kaspersky’s on everything, and it runs flawlessly. Also use MSE and Defender. Never had virus or security issues, but has blocked many potential sites and data.
