I use Sophos Home to protect all my family's computers. It does a MUCH better job than Windows Defender ever will. I was visiting Care.org (a legitimate website) back on September 2nd. It looks like some of their Javascript code got infected or something, and good old Sophos BLOCKED the malware. See here: https://imgur.com/nXOhqXq
I dare you to visit a legit website like care.org (they fixed the issue now) and see if your precious Windows Defender or browser will block the malware https://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies/emot-LMAO.gif
Also, if Windows Defender is "good enough," ask yourself, why do virtually zero organizations or government agencies use it?
People don't like hearing they've been fooled using Windows Defender.

As to their browser extensions, you can click "Don't ask again" and it should not appear again. I leave Safe Search and Safe Web on (no reason not to imo). Keep their horrid password manager (if they still have it) off. Norton's interface is intentionally made complex\cryptic so that the avg non-IT person will not necessarily go in and easily find the ways to turn off the garbage imo. They are not the only ones to do that though by any means.
the program is also still absurdly slow. taking 20-30s just to load the main home interface when other programs pop up within 1 second.
i have clicked on do not ask again so many times and it never goes away. It probably resets itself everytime it goes through an update, which is also extremely annoying.
i faintly recall that, the random pop up ads nuisance , etc.
The one benefit they had though, was the easy installation setup that automatically activates for you. Other than that, I find the software more frustrating than anything else.
My whole family uses Eset. It has been seem less and no one has complained about pops or issues. I like the extra security it provides and how light weight the system is.

Never had any of those problems. Program comes up in a second or two for me, even on older machines.

Windows Defender is also good and seems to punch above its weight class considering it's free
I use Defender on my personal PC. My 10yr old who downloads everything that Minecraft chat tells him to gets ESET
I have done it every year, if you are renewing Norton just save the activation code and renew it 5 days before your previous subscription expires so you don't lose any protection days because they won't stack.
all my other software opens up within seconds. only norton takes an absurd about of time. happens with all the systems i have it installed on.
i'll probably switch back to avast or avg in the future.. or maybe eset.
