Modern antivirus with plenty of extra perks

Ultimately, antivirus packages like Norton are about peace of mind and I can’t genuinely say that Norton 360 gave me that much more peace of mind than it’s regular antivirus counterparts do. I had no cybersecurity issues in the time I used it but I wasn’t exactly under attack for the six months preceding that either.
