Norton Anti-Virus Software review
I have always had good results with Norton 360, when my computer was hacked once, I called them and they accessed my computer and remover the ransomware ! I am going back to Norton, when my Best Buy Webroot expires, got it with our new computers. Not really confident with Webroot ! I scan with their three options, every night before shutting system down, yet still have the appearance of someone controlling my screen sometime, I scan then an nothing is found ! ?

When Norton was Norton and not part of Symantec you couldn't get a better product. Now it's taken what ,20yrs to get back to that

Norton Anti-Virus Software review
I've had Norton for all my security systems at work and at home. They always do a good job at protecting my computer and it's at a reasonable price. Never had any problems with them. Would continue to use them in the future.
