I heard a rumor awhile back that Norton is a virus in itself. When you buy their software and download it onto your computer, it puts it's own hidden virus on your computer. It starts off very subtle, but overtime you get more and more security warning stating that your computer is at risk and you should contact Norton for further assistance. Knowing idiots will call them, they give them a solution to the problem by ordering another one of their CD's to fix that problem. In short scamming you with their own virus.
I've heard of a few security programs doing this to promote their software. It's pretty shitty that they can get away with it, but I heard Norton was the worst. My friend caught Norton doing it with proof and everything. They made him pay $100 to fix some threat that was caused by Norton in the first place. So he ended up getting his money back, but just watch out for those things.
I would recommend using Malewarebytes like a lot of people have said or even kaspersky.
TLDR: Norton is the most expensive virus.
