After the new update Norton 360, constant DNS checks to avast.com

Hi Vassilis_C:

I no longer use Norton so I can’t tell you what changes, if any, were made to Norton 360 v24.12.9694 remote IP connections, but see the 17-Sep-2024 hackerdose article One Less Scanner? Norton Antivirus Jumps on Avast’s Engine about the new line of Norton v24.x products.

There’s a discussion about this in Specialist17’s 24-May-2024 Norton Security now silently installs Avast software? in the AskWoody forum.
