Hi! I am still using Norton Antivirus
I am an active gamer, and I haven't had any issues AT ALL with this activity. Norton performs all basic daily tasks such as quick scans, performance optimizations, and more without annoying popups whatsover.
As well, I get no problems with my games launchers, updates, apps or third-party apps.
Like many may know (due to the threads I dedicated to the issue in the past), Kaspersky used to bring me trouble when gaming due to Application Control.
Application Control was the main reason I loved (and still love) Kaspersky, because if well configured it would let me lock down my computer in a way that no file would execute unless extremely trusted, therefore maximazing security. Of course, with security of this type, there is room for false positives, but Kaspersky's AC wouldn't let me whitelist certain applications that kept getting blocked, therefore ruining my gaming experience. These were third party, signed applications (like Blitz) that were complements for games like League of Legends, and let you automatically import runes, for example. Each time this app updated, the executable would get blocked by Kaspersky's AC and needed to be manually unblocked. Lots of methods were tried, lots of paths were whitelisted, support was contacted, support ticket was escalated to Russia, but no solution was ever found. And sadly this wasn't the only gaming app that was giving my trouble. At the end, I decided my user experience was over my sense of security. That's when I moved to another high-end, well-respected and top-tier antivirus that could give me an excellent protection and no issues while gaming.
Although I miss Application Control, I've learned to live without it and replaced it with other applications
I am happy with Norton. It's light, non-intrusive, really effective, and Lord it protects
