Do you recommend trying it again or not yet?

in my opinion, this version isn't that mature to be used

I used it exactly for 2 days and then removed it, so I didn't give it much time, did they fix the bugs?

Bugs still exist a program update was issued but the GUI bugs are all still present also no Norton power eraser in the product.

I still have a year or two in my subscription (originally Bullguard), but Norton is not for me. I have the Gamer's edition, which was, when I last used it, a huge mess. I hate the Norton Launcher, though it can be disabled in settings. I also experienced issues with Norton extension in Firefox.

Avast/AVG are more mature. AVG support has always been responsive and helpful in my experience.

i keep receiving the ghost notification, and there's no game optimizer, and we had like 2 days whiteout definition updates……so i don't know, its new...

Optimization is automatic when anything goes full screen. you can check in the logs. I've been using it for 10 days and saw no problem with protection itself. It blocked malware sites, etc, as expected.

Overall it's a faster version of Avast, still some bugs and inconsistencies present. If you don't bother being a beta tester it's usable.

support said to me that as right now, theres no "game edition" for V24, they told me to downgrade, if i want to use the features of the game edition....

It was being updated actually. We discussed it in this thread, the streaming updates were being downloaded normally. They just went for two days without merging. Unfortunately the UI does not show the last streaming update downloaded, a suggestion I sent through the feedback option.

The gamers edition is exactly the same. They just incorportated that feature from Bullguard which is not effective btw.

streaming update

The same updates like in Avast? In Avast main UI the updates are not shown. You need to go to settings to show the last update which I find a weird behaviour. In AVG updates are shown on the main UI.

Norton's VPN is better than that of AVG currently..... AVG had the new VPN but it had many bugs and they reverted back to the old version.

keep in mind that norton vpn is not compatible with p2p

And that’s why I use mullvad if I have a privacy concern. But will mostly use nortons as default.

Yes it is, in V22 it even has P2P servers in the Netherlands

My bad then, i had this on auto, and was connecting to the fastest server, thats why i guess

Still many bugs in this version GUI is white on the ends on the black UI which is not suppose to happen. Also the blue notifications warning and norton power eraser missing out of the product.
