True story. Last year I told my friend to download Brave and he said Norton told him not to download it.

I figured Norton not liking it would show that Brave's really not doing good.

Why do you not like Norton?

Well it’s kind of a long story, first norton was a set of system utilities for Mac OS and they were good, then they sold out and became anti virus software, then they became a shitty anti virus software, then they become a shitty anti virus software with a fuck ton of memory leaks and yeah fuck them.

But why does everyone trust Norton then?

What would you recommend in place of Norton?

What would you recommend in place of Norton?

A Linux-based operating system.

Well this site has my respect for real reviews on software without a lot of bullshit. Here is their security page and unlike norton "symantic" everything is free. https://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-windows-desktop-software.htm?page=7

Here's the main category page just click a category and it'll give you a list a rating and a review for each piece. https://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-windows-desktop-software.htm

Well when I used windows this was my favorite program. It's a 4 pane replacement for windows explorer. It has 4 panes and remembers the directory for each pane. So if you have a folder or images, movies, downloads and something else you open the program and your at all of them. It's really fast and stable. http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Freeware/Q-Dir/Screenshots If they had this for Linux I would install it. It's a beautiful fast program and the one thing I miss about windows, the only thing.

tons of shitty companies survive because being pc means not calling them out.

best security? stop using windows... it is literally full of holes... on purpose. they patch on and create another.

linux is still susceptible on a hardware level.. but not much I can do about that.. but at least the thieves will be required to be high level fuckwits... that if someone has the resources your fucked no matter what.
