description Norton Antivirus (Basic) Overview

Norton Antivirus is a well-known security suite that provides basic protection against malware and viruses. While it is easy to install and runs in the background, it is notorious for being resource-heavy and slowing down system performance. Furthermore, it frequently displays intrusive notifications and upsells for additional security products.

Given that Windows Defender is now a highly capable, free, and lightweight security solution built into Windows, Norton's value proposition for the average user is very low.
