    Symantec/Norton Antivirus Flaw Threatens Millions of PCs

    I stopped using Norton when Peter sold out to Symantec - so a very long time ago. My work does still use the enterprise edition. Personally, I like standalone tools so use Sophos Home antivirus, Malware Bytes Pro software firewall and anti malware, a hardware firewall as basic protection; at...
