Norton Antivirus Problem?

[Karabiner Kurz]

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 an anti-virus, install Avast for an Anti-virus and install Malwarebytes if you want to do a malware scan.

Norton is like Spa: super expensive tap water.

Pretty sure they are.

From 5 seconds of Google-ing: "Malwarebytes' is not an antivirus, it is basically a program designed to detect and remove infections that most antivirus programs tend to miss or are unable to remove." If you don't buy the paid version it doesn't even do anything besides let you run scans.

Ok so basically don't use Norton, I guess i'm happy I didn't buy it I got it free with Comcast. So I should uninstall Norton and download something like Bitdefender, AVG or Avast?

If your computer is too old to handle it just remove it. It may do a great job protecting you, but whats the point if you cant use the safe computer.
