    99% Of All Virus Attacks Occur While Online, So Offline Statistics Actually Don't Matter Unless You Are Inserting An External Drive That Has A Virus On It... I Just Removed Norton After It Kept Taking Up 50-100% Of My CPU, And Wouldn't Give It Back When Not Idle. And The Bloat/SPAM Was Getting Ridiculous Considering Norton Is A Paid For Application Which Is Not Suppose To Have Ads At All.

    dunno why so many ppl hate norton. been using for years without problem and don't even used up my CPU more than 5%. Uninstalled and reinstall it multiple times due to some package updates. It doesn't have any issue while I'm doing the uninstall. Why ppl keep on saying it's hard to uninstall norton? But the latest v24 Norton really sucks will be discontinue using it after the subscription ends. Overall, norton is not THAT bad as people said in reddit lol

    So the issue with all these reveiws is they are assuming that the virus gets onto the pc in the frirst place. A better test would be to simulate from browser to post-instilation. Web browsers in themselves do have protection as well. In the 11 years i have been using common sense©️ and windows security, I have never had an infection.

    • @cybernews
      @cybernews  7 місяців тому

      Yes, we typically conduct malware tests with real-time protection turned off to evaluate worst-case scenarios. However, we are now working on extensive tests both with and without real-time protection to see the difference in effectiveness. Stay tuned for those results!
