Sorry, you lot. Don't know how I missed this one but a customer asked and I looked it up -and she was right to be concerned it would appear!

I gave up on Sysmantec and McAfee years ago. Both trashed my computer with endless delays and disappointments. I use Microsoft Essentials now and have not problems.
Those two big Virus protection programs are just junk in my opinion.

Symantec is junk I discarded years ago. So is McAfee. I like Kaspersky. That is one tough internet security software. Been using it for years.

The most serious is that the products unpack compressed executables in the operating system kernel to analyse them for malicious code. The ultimate computer virus; one that is triggered by the anti-virus scanning software.

Kaspersky, Eset NOD32 and Bitdefender are my choices.
add malwarebytes free or paid for an additional level of security
Amazon has great prices on AV software.

Symantec and Norton products on ALL platforms including Macs have major security holes. If you use them, my advice is dump them and get something better. On a Mac, go without. — PING!

I was never comfortable with that aspect of their products and they are resource hogs anyway.
There are way better products on the market that don’t cost as much and are more robust.
