Norton is much more lightweight than it used to be and is actually just as efficient (if not more) than other top AV software.

there is so much competition in antivirus that I highly doubt this trend will change anytime in the next couple of years.
Will be fine for the majority of people and free.

Past 2 real world tests listed, Norton performs better than the default Microsoft AV.

Latest av test - parity.
See my post above to av test sites.
MS is generally above the 99% detection rate nowadays, so norton is merely 0.3% better in recent tests.
Now, what kind of sites and mail hygine is in place?
Obviously, if you're the hacker kiddy with X-rated and Dark Web deep dives, you're not only going to need Kaspersky etc. but probably even full virtual machine isolation.
But the typical YouTube, Gmail, Nice sites users WITH Microsoft Edge + Ublock Origin Ad block extension, settings for Browser Safety on and Set to Strict, bad URL avoiding on, etc, well, Microsoft Win11 AV typically is more than sufficient.
...
Keep in mind NO AV software in existence catches 100% of viruses!!!
Like the latest version of Covid or Flu, there's always the latest variants that'll get thru.
This is why you peeps NEED A BACKUP system in place to protect your data when infection occurs.
Infection?
No fooling around seeing if AV might remove 100% of a virus. Just fully nuke the system clean, restore in minutes from backup and fresh, clean system again.

If you don't do this Norton can and will charge you some horribly large amount when your subscription requires automatically and without your approval .. I've heard horror stories about how Norton will refuse to back down and won't reverse the charges so definitely remove that credit card info !
