My personal assessment is that Norton, McAfee, and others of that ilk aren't worth the powder to blow them to bits. They hog resources like mad, and overall they don't do any better than Windows Defender (built-in).

Been using Norton for years, but always looking for newer and "better." I am very dependent on Norton password manager. Any recommendations for a SECURE password manager?

Personally I use "KeePass2" (on Windows and Linux) and its twin "MacPass" on MacOS. Free, open source, been around for many years, well reputed and trustworthy. The password archive/vault is a local encrypted file, using a single "master password". Trivial to keep a safe backup copy on a USB stick, etc. Supports various plug-ins and extensions to add optional additional functions.

At work I used the above until 2020 when my company switched to "KeeperSecurity", a paid service that runs from the cloud rather than a local file. That made it easier for my IT team to share access from our various remote/home locations.
