    Hmmm -- PCMag ranked Norton as equal to BitDefender and Kaspersky. Does anyone agree with that? :rolleyes:

    Well there are two for sure I wouldn't put (keep) on my Mac.
    • Norton - Because of all the unanswered problem questions on their forum.
    • Webroot - It was good while I was running macOS El Capitan. Then when the upgrades for the Mac came Webroot got behind in development. Longer scan times (Almost an hour), Leaving a lot of files behind when uninstalling and a few other problems. I'm still hoping that Webroot will get better because it was a fantastic security software running El Capitan.

    Neil J. Rubenking always rates Norton highly (if not highest) so I am not surprised. That said it probably does well enough to rate highly and is likely the most user friendly of the 3. Still not the one I would buy.
