All software has it pros and cons. If you do not want to allow anyone to manipulate your web presence then Norton is great for safety issues with your privacy. It protects you on the light and dark web if you are paying for added premium service. If you do not want other business to send out post on your behalf you can use the options to start or stop things such as printing and posting things you did not allow for you competitors to access. I didn't give it five stars because the user can control the dark web functions and it is something that IMO- this developer believes the experts and policy writers for the software engineers should write terms and conditions instead of having political compliance officers governing what is compliant for their citizens. Norton is just a tool and all tools can be regulated and used by safety compliant regulators who are qualified.
