I’ve been using Norton security suite for a few years and I have to say it is just a piece of crap. I would gladly pay a lot more money for something which worked better. This application is slow and does not give any confidence that it’s defending my pc. I did find some ideas from the website and will be researching them this week. Many thanks!
