Had issues with Norton Antivirus?
Hi everyone Iv'e been using Norton security for my computer for a couple of weeks and it's using all my CPU usage. My computer is quite old but runs like a champ until I run Norton in the background, every time I run Norton Smart Firewall and Norton Auto-Protect it says Google Chrome is using large amounts of CPU usage but when I turn off Norton my CPU usage goes down to 15-25% like normal. I just can't use Norton like this so if there is a way around this it would be a great help. Thanks
Malwarebytes isn't a virus scanner. Use Avast for protection and add Malwarebytes for a malware check.
Google briefly notes that Malwarebytes isn't a full antivirus. It's more of a tool focused on spotting and eliminating threats that other antivirus solutions often overlook or can't handle effectively. If you skip the premium option, it only allows basic scanning without much extra functionality.
Sure, avoid Norton and opt for free antivirus options like Bitdefender, AVG, or Avast.
