I have always thought Norton A/V is a curse.

5. I finally gave in, but I have it structured to limit some of its features (& annoying pop-ups)

Ironically, the package I most liked using was Kaspersky, which STILL is routinely ranked the BEST antiviral protection you can buy.

While I thought it was best to switch over given issues with Russia, I think it is likely not to be an issue on non-governmental computers and it is reasonably possible that Kaspersky has no intertwined relationship with GRU. Still, why take the chance?

Norton is (and has long been) very bloated, though, I agree.
