You mean the new PEP?
After upgrade its enabled by default, right?

I'm a little confuse about something. Does PEP comes as a standalone application or is it only available in Norton antiviruses?

Disable, you're safe. Pretty sure the software requires some extra processes, you'll just disable Acer Docs.

It is inside Norton Security, Symantec Endpoint Protection and all other Symantec (Norton) programs.

Acer Docs, is more on the sync of documents on their server if I'm not mistaken. You may disable this if you are not using regularly.

Meanwhile Intel Security Assistant may also be an optional but good for reminders when a hardware may fail on certain time.

uBlock Origin vs Adguard.

 

[Mihir :-)]

uBlock Origin is the better option in my opinion.

 

[silversurfer]

With uBlock Origin (advanced-user mode) you can block scripts. something can be useful against malware who runs by java script.

I always prefered adguard and I use it for years now. Tried ublock but after a few days I switched back to adguard.

 

[Soulbound]

Adguard does it job perfectly fine. Ublock still has issues rendering some pages and that's when occasionally there are spikes. Although ublock has some more bells and whistles compared to adguard extension I much prefer the stable adguard. If need to switch for any reason then abp again. Everyone recommends ublock but it is over rated in my opinion and experience with such extension
