Windows 10: Windows 10 and Norton Antivirus Serious Performance Drop

Windows Antivirus enabled Norton Antivirus disabled?

Assuming you've got Norton installed...

Two suggestions to try.

• Uninstall Norton, reboot, run the Norton Removal Tool, reboot and then reinstall Norton. See List

• If that doesn’t disable Windows Defender, see http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5918-windows-defender-turn-off-windows-10-a.html

I use Malwarebytes Free (also have Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit) with Windows Defender and there are no conflicts.

But you may want to seek advice from Norton about using Malwarebytes products concurrently with Norton programs
