Out of interest, what is so bad about Norton Antivirus? I use it and it seems fine to me and does its job.

Personally I hate it, I've always had conflicts with other software when running it in the past. It's a pain to fully remove and sometimes can be resource hungry. No doubt the newer versions are better but I refuse to pay for it when AVG suits me fine and have never had a problem with it.

try the corporate edition, got 9.6 running here now. no issues with software conflicts, its not resource hungry, just sits there nice & quiet, updates itself, keeps everything in order!

hmm but how much is that?. As said before AVG is free and along with ZA, and router firewall I haven't had anything major happen in 5 years that hasn't been resolved using the above software. Unless Norton is the worth paying for extra over AVG then I doubt many will change.
Ooops run Windows Defender as well.

I use Windows One Care Live. It's quite good. It isn't free, though.
