    Have used Norton for years but the last year, it has done my head in! Constantly popping up boxes with no aim other than to up sell more norton products!
    Spotted Bitdefender total security on Amazon for £17 so took the plunge and will give it a go when my Norton soon runs out!
    Had Norton not started with the hard, intruding sales pitch in the guise of vailed threats, I’d still be a customer. Another plus is bitdefender is British!

    Out of these three, it seems that Bitdefender is the winner. Norton's false-positives is worrying. I used Norton Antivirus for several years until the early 2000s, when it started showing part of Windows as malware. It deleted a system file, screwing up Windows and necessitating people having to reinstall Windows from scratch.
    BTW. The other program is McAfee, not Macafee. There's no letter "a" in "Mc".

    Bitdefender was good when I had it. I haven't tried Norton but it seems alright, but McAfee?
    It was January 2022, and I was looking at random game websites, then, all of a sudden, one came up that said, "click "allow" to verify you are not a robot."
    I thought it was strange at first, so I clicked off and back on again (because the internet is like that) and the same message popped up.
    I thought to myself "How bad can this be? Captchas do this stuff a lot."
    The website refused to open, and all of a sudden my emails were flooded with "YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS!" over and over again, with McAfee Antivirus's logo printed at the bottom. I knew something was off, so I used my (at the time) current AV to search for viruses. It said that there were none.
    My conclusion is that this was some kind of messed-up advertising campaign. And, according to many reddit posts and webpages speaking about how shady the AV is, my theory is near confirmed.

Really annoying, so I uninstalled. You dont need antivirus in 2023 you just need a good passwordmanager and secure passwords and update your system to the latest versions Windows, Android and Mac already have good built in security. Just be careful about pishing emails and sms. Dont charge your phone in a public usb dock without some security like an anti-data cable. And be careful with public wifi use Vpn and dont give sensitive information like banking card info. And use 2factoridentification when possible. No need to pay for an expensive antivirus subscription. Im a software engineer.
