About a month ago I had to turn down the protection on the ROBLOX files/settings to make certain games work.

Now I get pop-ups that Norton will only sometimes block. One told me I had excessive pop-ups and needed to call someone's numbers, and I couldn't close it so I had to restart the computer.

Mine has never worked. Always ends up getting a virus and killing the computer.

I've heard that Avast was free anyway. That and AVG. With free virus programs, the most they'll do is just scan your computer for viruses. Then when they detect them, you need to pay to let them remove the viruses.

@Iam and Colorful

I once asked my parents about installing more stuff, they were like "no we have Norton we don't need it"

@Ice

I want actual protection.

@Posten

Not surprising.

Annoying,

@Fast

It costs like over fifty bucks at any Best Buy.

Oh yeah, and will constantly whine until you pay for it.

I liked searching things with Norton. So it would have a check mark besides the results from sites it trusts.

I can't argue with you on that one. Plus, I haven't had Norton for like a year after it expired. So right now I'm under no virus protection. But I don't remember having problems with Norton when I did have it.

Malwarebytes actually blocks sites that try to connect to you

like
there's a little box that says something like

"blocked: totallynotatrojan.org
ip: 1.69.69.1337
