Advice Request after norton where should i go

[Trident]

I wonder why here are no McAfee supporters at all? After all it's not so bad and maybe even good, I have too little experience with it.

It’s not amazing. They were supposed to release a completely re-written version, not sure if it’s out yet. For basic usage it does the job but nothing better can be said about it.

Any antivirus is better than Norton and since you don't want Kaspersky I recommend Eset

Why is that? Sounds a bit far-fetched.

I agree about Eset, but I'm confused when you say that about Norton. I had the impression that it was in the good end.

I have used almost all the antivirus on the market and my worst experience was with Norton (it was in 2000) it surely would have improved but I will never use Norton again

Norton has improved a lot over the last twenty plus years. It provides very good protection, while being very light. There was a point in time when Norton was very heavy, but those days are long gone.

Eset Smart. Light. Effective. Pay monthly. No worries.

fwiw, Norton good on my win10_vm, but Eset Premium broke my win10 firewall and I had to "reinstall" OS to fix it, Eset support on this issue was all over the place with misinformation (& I had been a user of Nod32 for years, but not now).

Why would a home user need a patch management module?

Imagine that you buy a car from a Ford brand, for example, and it always breaks down. Would you buy a car from that brand again? I think the answer is no, you would buy a different brand.
well something similar happened to me with Norton

Would you rather trust the judgement of an infant or a 20 year old adult?

What he is trying to point out is that 20 years ago, that software was young and still developing, and has changed quite a bit in two decades and is much better now. Just as buying a ford car two decades ago as opposed to now would have different ramifications as opposed to back then.

There is a proverb in my country that says:
"Man is the only animal that stumbles twice over the same stone."
Not that in my case, stumbling once is enough

I'm just trying to convey there are plenty of reasons to like or dislike a software, judging what it was like 2 decades ago shouldn't be one of them.

Norton began to heavily listen to user feedback around the 2010's, it's why some may consider it to be industry-leading. That's not to say Norton does not make controversial choices.

I had exactly the same thoughts about Norton. It's MT that have opened my eyes. It was terrible in 2000.

Nothing heavy anymore, light as a feather moving on a winter breeze. And the detection rate is great.

After Norton, go to a therapist for all the trauma it has put you through!

Install Kaspersky, go to the nearest mirror, and thank yourself for being such a responsible user!
