Joel you beat me to it. I'll say again that Norton products went downhill in 2003. They still have some free tools like Power Eraser that are good for a backup check. I use Defender, coupled with the paid for Malwarebytes Premium and their free beta antiransomeware all running together. No problems for years now. I used MWB Premium before with MS Security Essentials.
