I've ditched Norton after several years of subscription.

Now BT broadband supplies it for free with the broadband package.

Should I install it, that is the question.

Why did you ditch it?

Well its still as shit as it's ever been.  But your choice at the end of the day.


Windows PCs struggle to run with nothing installed with the crap commonly called Windows 11.  I'd say MS Defender - the freebie one in Windows - remains the most lightweight option IMHO, and is what I personally use on the small number of Windows machines I still have here.
