Windows itself has antivirus and firewall. Just back up your computer every few months.
I reset my computers at least once a year.And it's like buying a new computer.

Norton is a resource hog. Avoid.
Of course we'd all love the old Norton that didn't used to do this but.. one might argue you get what you pay for and Norton tends to be one of the cheaper anti-virus products when on sale (just look at the current deal going on
"Windows defender and malwarebytes are all you need; along with the common sense not to click on any link."
Then I turned on Microsoft native Defender, and it works flawlessly. No pop ups. No bs. And definitely no scummy redirects [I visit shady websites at times]… tldr; Microsoft defender will do just fine.
I will definitely know later this year when my 10 user license expires, if the 20 user will work automatically or not.
I hope someone answers this with their own experience

Or
b) You can wait until your existing 10 device license expires, then activate Platinum. This way you preserve "20 devices" for later but will have to relog into all your devices.
Or
c) You can ask Norton if you can add Platinum to your account now but only activate it when Premium expires, so you preserve 20 devices for a future date.
I know a) and b) definitely will work. I don't know about c).
IMPORTANT:
After you place an order, it will take up to 2 days for you to get your license number. You will find the license number by logging into your Quill account (open one if you haven't or open one when you place the order), going to "Your Account", and then "Software Downloads". You will find the license number and download link there.

If the latter, maybe it is dicey, since the Order is technically Not Confirmed and then can presumably cancel it, if they want to.
Invasive - Preventing normal user functionality due to a variety of reasons, including large amounts of false positives and/or relaying more than needed information back to their data centers. Example, TrendMicro has false positive hit on our local install software's more than a dozen times over the years while Norton has blocked our SaaS Cloud solutions more than a time or two, or caused slowness/performance issues loading said pages even though all certificates were up to date and no rogue scripts running. They are constantly a pain in the ass.
Shady as hell - This one is painfully obvious, look at who they partner with and how their software is typically packaged alongside other software's. McAfee as an example, nonstop has their "browser scanner" that is downloaded alongside other software's and for end users that are non tech savvy or just dumb and clicking yes to everything, get something installed on their system that can prove invasive as said above. When you have to resort to "gotcha" tactics to get your software on people's computers, that's a very telling sign of how a company will operate with your data.

Pair it with Defender or just run Defender and you'll be fine if you make good choices. They will literally teach you in Ethical Hacking classes that the first defense against anything ending up on your system is a good head on your shoulders. Look at the From address in an email, were you expecting that FedEx text message?, does it look right? That email from the Nigerian prince that says if you send him 1000.00 he'll make you a million in return.....don't click it. Things like that are the best front line defense, beyond that software's like the above are meant for when you do something silly or click something unknowingly they are your next layer of defense. If you're not putting yourself in those situations, don't let the fear mongering of big companies like Norton drive you to pay their insane prices for their invasive software.
Malwarebyte's has come a long ways since the days of it being just a paired software you installed alongside others.
