    Never bothered to install. Not worth it especially on a 12 year old’s gaming computer.

    It works, but if it is better compared to the antivirus program on windows is arguable, and it is no better than free options available online. Would not be 1 star other than the fact that it like to worm its way into other systems, and is a pain to remove if you want to. Also slows down your PC.

      Hi Mike - Thanks for your feedback, but if you really want the #FACTS on Microsoft Defender, watch this 3rd-party comparison of Norton and Defender. Same malware attacks used on both systems - Norton survives all the attacks, but Defender does not and is rendered unusable, INCLUDING **complete removal of Defender**: https://youtu.be/S9LPxOPiYqU?si=ot2Bo4lSLd8nMyyN&t=448.
      Also, if you don’t want to renew your subscription after its expiration, just use our Remove/Replace support utility downloaded from: www.norton.com/nrnr. Helps you remove the product completely. Hope this helps - DWN norton_us

    Garbage bloat software. Mostly everyone will be fine with Windows or Microsoft Defender nowadays, and those are free or part of your Microsoft Office subscription. This is also one of the last vpns I would ever consider using if I really cared about privacy. Honestly this is just a waste to even include in the order.

      If you're interested in a third-party perspective on Defender, there's a helpful comparison video that puts both Norton and Defender through the same malware tests. It’s quite eye-opening: Norton successfully blocks all the threats, while Defender unfortunately doesn’t hold up as well.
