Yea, well I see no real use in it. Malwarebytes and Windows Defender take care of everything that Norton does and is updated more often than enough. Plus, Windows Defender is made by Microsoft which creates Windows OS so I trust their software to monitor my computer more than the 3rd party. Malwarebytes just has a great library of viruses and does a great job of monitoring and blocking, something that Norton has yet to match.

It's worth noting in the interest of fairness that MSE has been doing quite poorly in the way of detection rates lately. I've lost the source but I think it was on Lifehacker or Gizmodo or something.

Kinda a lot to run at once. I tend to only like 1-2 at a time on a computer, any more than that and I find complications between the software.
