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 least those are the most recent set, I've used others over the years and have yet to have a piece of malware or a virus get to my machine, ever, and I've been here online for well over 20 years. I've always considered Symantec bloatware and more nuisance than help given the incredibly difficulties in removing it - so their first suite was my last one. I do hope they get this fixed though as there are so many users dependent on it.

Last used Norton in 2002. Never again.

The company I work for use Symantec for their data security. It still sucks.
