If you have Win 10, you should probably uninstall Norton and never use it again.

Windows Defender is built into Win 10. For 99% of users, it has everything that's needed.

Win Def is light and streamlined. Norton is heavy and resource intensive.

I run Win 8 with real-time virus checking -- disabled!

Be careful about you click on and what you download, and you won't have problems.
