Issue abstract: All of a sudden Norton is asking for a lot of new internet connections including those to avast.com which appears to be a competitor

Detailed description:

I use an app that monitors outgoing and incoming internet connections. I’ve been using Norton 360 on my Mac and now suddenly it’s asking for a bunch of new connections including some to avast.com

It’s also saying that Norton has been upgraded and asking me for information but I don’t recall updating Norton.

Any info?

Thanks!
