Hi all, I just got a new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x and thought I would transfer my very basic Norton 360 to this new PC. However, the Norton package is not downloading even after I removed the McAfee trial programs that came with this computer.

It looks like it might be because of the Windows Defender ans its firewall that maybe this new laptop comes with? I don’t have a separate subscription for Windows Defender or Security though and am wondering if trying to install basic Norton is still worthwhile. I basically want that VPN lol.

Thank you! Any insights into this would be really helpful.

Nothing good comes from Norton

Don’t do either…get rid of Norton and McAfee and let Windows Defender do its job.

Windows firewall is good enough and ProtonVPN is free

Understood! Do you think Windows Defender is enough for general use? And do you suggest a separate VPN?

Sounds like that’s the consensus!

Oh great to know!! Thank you!!

There is no real need to have anything other than Defender 9 times out of 10. As for VPN you will just have to ask around and see what other say they use and why.

Great, thanks for the reassurance! I’ll ask around and keep digging about the VPN
