Ayup. I used Norton briefly back in DOS days. It was a resource hogging
computer crasher even then. Since, my experience is the vicarious
variety, fixing other folks' PCs after Norton has (pick a number):
1. Trashed it
2. Slowed it to a crawl
3. Crashed it
4. Prevented longstanding software from running til the patch, if ever
5. Prevented new software from running til the patch, if ever
......etc.
Sadly these days its installed as bloatware on new PC's.
Some lucky folk profess not to have any issues with it. More power to em.

The main reason I dumped Norton a long time ago was because it slowed down
the computer so bad, like real bad. Went to AVG and never looked back plus
saved a lot of money even with the full purchased version of AVG on my shack
computers (3). On the other 4 the free version's never have failed in 8
years. As always YMMV 8>)

Norton 360 has served me well ... without a single glitch ... for a number
of years.

All the complaints about Norton and I've never had a false positive or
install failure because of it. I use it on a dozen different computers.
YMMV.

Get rid of the virus called Norton Anti-Virus. Install the free
version
of Avast or AVG. That'll do it, and protect you as well. Also use
Malawarebytes.
PS: No pecuniary interest in Avast, AVG, or Norton. Norton is a
problem
for many, not a cure.

Norton labels almost all new programs as infected with the
WS.Reputation virus, see here:

There is a way around the auto-delete, but I can't remember how to
do
it at this point. Hopefully someone will chime in on how to do that.
