Been locked inside my habitat for quite a while ( computer kaput, finally a new machine ( i9-14900K, RTX 5080, 64GB, W11),slowly but steadily getting it all together again, have first question: Windows11 Defender or Norton 360 (been using it for years, works very well, still have a license but getting a bit sick of constant adverts to buy more :fatigue: ). I read good reviews of W11 Defender. Stick with that only or keep Norton as well ?....

Thanks very much for advice. (y)
 
IMHO, stay away from Norton 360. It's a resource hog that actually offers not too great protection.

As for Windows Defender, that has greatly improved over the last few years. For what it's worth, I use ESET Smart Security. Brilliant protection, light on the system and not too intrusive. Added bonus: all your browsers run in sandboxes.

Defender and malwarebites with crapcleaner here on a near identical machine. No problem.

I agree with Jan, ditch the Norton.
