Hello i have norton and i saw many reviews saying that norton is bad. i only use my mac for office and dowload some books free and many times norton block certain webs. i have no issues with norton and i like its design. Im not a informatic guy and for that could someone tell me why is bad with and example to understand better, thnks. Psdt, i dont have issues for the money, i just want to be protected, so if you have a better antivirus with a better design feel free to tell me.
A similar question was posted today. I’ll link it and copy/paste my answer.

I wouldn’t recommend getting too dependent on your antivirus and use all its features. The most basic package is usually enough. Proton Pass and Bitwarden are good password managers and have free tiers, 1Password is also a good alternative but only has a paid plan. Same for their VPN, I would prefer to use a trusted VPN provider like Proton or Mullvad.
Now for the antivirus part, the reasons to prefer alternatives would be privacy, better detection rates & less false positives and performance.
See this https://www.av-comparatives.org/comparison/ for a comparison with other provides.
Also know that people like to meme and complain. I wouldn’t use Norton, but if you like it and it works for you, then go for it, it’s your computer. I would suggest that you check the link above, read up on their privacy policy and check if your PC has good performance while running this product, then make a decision based on that research.
I never saw any antivirus on a mac
I often saw norton on windows machines, and they are much faster, less popups and more money if you just use defender
You dont mind the money, but add up how much have you given them for delays , popups and hassle renewing over the years
