You want to stay as far away from Norton as possible.
It makes you wonder, that people in 2022, still use this kind of crap. Seriously.....

Norton software was already unbearable and bloated as hell a decade ago, let alone now with all their adware BS.

Win Defender + Malwarebytes if youre downloading all kind of stuff without using brain.exe.
If you dont, Win Defender on its own is more than enough.

If 17MB of RAM is bloat, it's time for an upgrade..

Norton used to be one of the best. Nowadays, though? Not so much, unfortunately.

Install Revo Uninstaller if you want to go straight to the root of the program, in order to remove it.

Well, OP has stated he is running it with Defender now, which is probably one of- if not the most-typical use scene. For anyone familiar with this setup--is it necessary to register MB in Windows Security Center for better compatibility?

No, it isnt and I do not recommend it.
It was a pain in the you know what since theyve implemented it and still causes some trouble and forces Windows to prioritize MB over WinDefender and many other inconveniences.

You should only run one active anti-virus scanner in the background, else they can conflict with each other and/or cause system slow downs.

Highly recommend (specially the paid subscriptions to be worthwhile):
- BitDefender Total Security
- MalwareBytes Premium
- Kaspersky Internet Security

Free version (won't run as fast and will annoy more, but for free it's pretty good):
- Avast

As an optional manual run, if not paying (for double checking):
- Spybot Seek and Destroy Free Edition

Norton was really bad, a system hog which slows down your system, yet the latest paid version of Norton 360 redeems itself. It scores highly in performance, detection and usability.

So if you have that, it's not bad, but I would suggest removing one or the other accordingly. BitDefender I consider one of the very best, it would actually ask you to do this before installation of it.

I'd use Norton before I use Kaspersky

With every computer I've ever serviced for someone in which they complained that it's slow, the first thing I would do is remove Norton and/or McAfee.

Yep same, and always let Windows handle the security :steamthumbsup:

Oh yeah Avast is fantastic if you like browser installs, intrusive notifications, ties to several 3rd party software installs, etc :laughing_yeti: #TRASH

Any chance you're being paid to push this snake oil on this forum ?
What exactly is your agenda ?
i guess we gonna also ignore that Avast sold user data.......

Although not likely for a typical Home user, Defender is handily bypassed by threats such as the Magniber ransomware. I mean, you can't put 100% iron-clad faith in anything, esp. if you're gonna be risky.

To be fair, it seems Malwarebytes has made good improvements in its overall protection, based on several AV lab tests. So it seems if you want to supplement Defender with something, MB can be handy.

I use one free and one paid supplements (2) to harden the OS in general. Plus, the effects on system performance are non-existent. Defender is OK on its own, imo. But there's no shame in adding a supplement--esp as system processes can be hijacked and Defender (and others) tends to look the other way sometimes.

It's always been good practice to not run two real-time antivirus programs at the same time. The reason you can use Malwarebytes alongside Windows Defender is because Windows Defender is smart enough to suspend realtime scanning when a third party antivirus is installed.

Let me clarify.

I am an IT Security Expert.

BitDefender, MalwareBytes Premium, and Kaspersky are all application control, rather than just anti-virus definition based software. Detection rates of 99% and with that increased performance. They can unlock ransomware, etc. Checks for third party security holes to warn you into patching, have a firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, adblocker, and safepay isolated web-browsing, etc.

BitDefender goes as far as checking your email hasn't leaked upon the darkweb and will warn you about that, so you know to change your passwords, block your credit card, etc, if it's ever hacked, phished, or a website you have an account upon got breached and currently has your personal data for sale on the black markets.

A free version of that is available online to manually run: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

If you wanted to paid for a subscription, those features will make it highly worthwhile. You have peace of mind, full control and knowledge over your PC.

Kaspersky is linked to Russia, so some people might be wary of that. However, it's actually located in Sweden and operated by a holding company in the United Kingdom. Has a three step opt-in prompt into it's Cloud Network, otherwise works upon servers in your own country. It was one of the best anti-virus detectors. They had even managed to piss off the US Government, by detecting their NSA (government spying) virus injected into hard drive firmware, which others couldn't detect. They ended up with NSA documents/files sent to them for testing, when realised what it was, deleted them. Yet USA raided the Kaspersky employees anyways illegally, in which the staff open their own house doors and showed them all the source code, etc. It was fully tested and checked. US Government still banned it anyways without any proof of linkage found to Russia, just on the off chance that Putin twists them into privacy leakage.

As for Avast, I mentioned it would be a nag, but it's still one of the best and well known free ones available. I also mentioned to use SpyBot Free edition as a manual run only, to cover that detection range, yet not slow down the PC with a double up of anti-virus scanners.

Windows Defender isn't a complete anti-virus scanner and was never designed to be. It was created to drop out well-known virus definitions and remove those. It does that well, but can be bypassed. The idea was for it to prevent mass spreading malware and botnets. Previously users without any protection had millions of PCs infected into a botnet. They didn't even know about it, yet it was used to DDOS attack or proxy hack websites, governments and Microsoft, etc. With that Defender, Microsoft releases a wave of virus definition updates to just wipe it out.
