My time with ESET is long over. I used ESET's NOD32 for a while.See how many will follow
Norton Security 25.9.10453
- Thread starter TuxTalk
- Start date
On the initial install, I thought it ran a Smart Scan as I remember when one was done I clicked next to start the next one. I checked the Security history but didn't see it. I just ran it again, no messages after the scan, below 1st image (I also have notifications disabled in the settings). The one I did get the upgrade notices for when I ran the Smart scan was AVG free.
Even though you can't choose a server it connects to there are enough settings to be helpful. So far it's been performing well.
Norton VPN completes its second no-logs audit — and it confirms your data is safe
The provider has also reduced data retention and eliminated connection timestamps
Now the the thing that I find annoying, is there is no Safe Web Extension for Chrome, at least that I'm aware of. They have Safe Search Enhanced, but if you enable it, hyjacks your home page to theirs (2nd image). What I did was installed TrafficLight, but I find having to do that be ridiculous for a Suite (360). Since Chrome is the highets market share, I'm sure it's Norton's way to try to glean browsing data from us. This could actually be a deal breaker for me, as Brave and Chrome are my favorite browsers, and McAfee didn't have a problem supporting Chromium browsers in any way.
Same here. I have a Premium license good until this December, but I'm not even going to use it. ESET is in my rear view mirror as well.
Safeweb for Chrome is obsolete, its all handled from within Norton itself now. No need for extensions anymore.On the initial install, I thought it ran a Smart Scan as I remember when one was done I clicked next to start the next one.

Only Edge has the Safeweb extension but i would not install it if i were you.
I keep getting messages to buy Antitrack and Utilities in Norton. I really hate Ads.
Eventhough i disabled the promotions option.
So i switched to Eset Smart Security Premium.
I haven't gotten that yet, maybe they're laying in the weeds, giving me a couple of days of peace and quite. But I'm pretty sure my time with 360 will be short lived. Again for me, to many options, modules, settings etc. to possibly glitch out? Is Genie only for smart phones, as I can't get that activated. Even though in the web portal it says I have Dark Web Monitoring activated, the app UI says it isn't, and to activate it? Even though I set Chrome as my default (for testing's sake) Norton will not install these two extensions, the browser opens and closes in a second. And I get why it can't install Safe Search, as that is no longer supported, but only the Enhanced version but the app shows Safe Search as an option?
Even though McAfee had less settings, it was more functional and stable. In that regard, IMO, McAfee is the better of the 3 recent reviews, questions asked, TM, McAfee and now Norton.
Edit: I just saw your above post #44, thanks

McAfee is great but with me, the opening of the program takes ages. My OCD can not handle this haha
So i went back to Eset. It simply works. And with the LiveGuard addition its complete for me.
McAfee seems to do it all for me, ESET is on my wife's lappy, not sure when her licence expires but McAfee is on it afterward if not sooner, like may this next few days as she is in hospital so might sort it while she is away in-between keeping the home fires burning etc etc
I hope everything will be alright with herMcAfee seems to do it all for me, ESET is on my wife's lappy, not sure when her licence expires but McAfee is on it afterward if not sooner, like may this next few days as she is in hospital so might sort it while she is away in-between keeping the home fires burning etc etc
She not been well for a while so partly pleased she is in & hopefully getting sorted, so staying positive, & thank you ! Got some air pods arriving today for her.
I wish you and your wife all the best!
All the best M8, take your time and be there for your wife.
I jumped ship from ESET to McAfee towards the end of my subscription a little while back. I was feeling displaced at the time as ESET didn't win my undying loyalty.See how many will follow

A humorous and non-standard combination of these ideas, "pericombobulation," has been documented in some niche online communities, though it is not widely used or formally defined.
Perambulation
The act of walking around, particularly in a relaxed or leisurely manner.
Discombobulation
A state of confusion, bewilderment, or disturbance.
Maybe Norton Genie chatbots can answer the question what this word means
