My father loves norton for some reason, and i cant convince him to not use it, and he forces me to use norton in my PC too. How can i convince him to change to something like kaspersky? And how can i remove norton from my system?
The criticism section under Wikipedia is a decent place to stay
They also Bundled in a crypto minor into their software, they pay websites for biased reviews and to have their inferior products rated as #1 top AV, their detections scores are average, the software is racing on your systems resources, the pricing is a joke and extremely overpriced compared to AVs that have better protection levels and consumer less system resources
My whole family uses Norton. It was part of the reason why I switched to Linux because I was fed up having invasive anti-viruses running in the background slowing down my system and eating up my RAM and CPU whilst also sending all of my files to the anti-christ. Just do a fresh install of Windows or just switch to an operating system that complies with POSIX for the most compatibility between other POSIX-compliant operating systems.
I detest av that deliberately makes it hard to remove like norton. Oh you want to remove me using uninstall? Nope, go and google for it online to find the software you have to download just to remove me. Shady as fuck.
I love eset nod32. Easy on your system. Always works for me for year’s.
Honestly, they all have deficiencies in one way or another. The sad fact is that many people find them to slow down their systems, but that is expected behavior as the program scans for changes to files and/or application behaviors.
I personally would not put Kaspersky near any machine, though. The risk is too great. They do operate out of a country where the government has far more control of its industries than most other industrialized nations. It is also a nation known to be actively waging some form of cyber warfare against many other nations. To me, that risk is just too great at the moment, and I would never even consider them for home or enterprise solutions.
That clearly has nothing to do with its performance as a security suite and everything to do with the likelihood that if the software is not weaponized at present, it easily could be.
The easiest way to remove it is to type in “remove” on the search bar, click on something that says something like “remove or uninstall apps”, and then remove it from there. That will automatically find the uninstaller and remove it for you
Imo, unless he actually checks, he won’t even know you removed it. Just search in windows “uninstall a program” and open whatever it gives you. (There’s control panel’s uninstall a program, then there’s the settings app’s. Either work) scroll down to Norton in the list (or search) and just click on the three dots or right click on it and uninstall it normally. You may have multiple things to uninstall like “Norton VPN” then “Norton {whatever else}”. Do all of them and that’ll be all.
Use Revo Uninstaller. Run advanced after uninstall and delete all.
it’s users
Not to be that guy, but…
its*
And can we say that /u/No_Bid_4015 is being paid by the US government to spam misinformation against Kaspersky?
All this guy does is copy and post this exact same hit piece of miss information across this subreddit, needs to be be reported and banned from this subreddit asap. Genuine spammer and spreader of misinformation
$250-300 is absurd wow.
You can get reputable products that aren’t glorified bloatware for a fraction of the price
fixed, I thought the possessive form of “it” is formed similarly to other words (like father’s), my bad 
you can go through the wikipedia page I linked if you think this is misinformation.
Eset, Kaspersky, Bitdefender have all the features at a fraction of the price. Should never pay more than $100 a year for an AV
