Interesting thread on the Avast forums!

La discussion que je viens de lire est effectivement intéressante.

If you read through some of the posts and other threads there, you begin to see all the similarities with what they’re saying. And how its relevant to what the issues are with this side of things Norton. Some are almost identical. The new UI is what the kicker is for me. At least, what is missing from it and what was in the prior version before 24.xx released in September. We now have absolutely zero control of things that matter most, especially when its our local network that gets blocked for no reason and we cannot work from home because of it as an example. People will call Norton trash, remove it and get on with their day to day tasks. Call it a day otherwise.

From where I sit, none of us should have to be looking into our Norton products to see if a live update ran and if a restart is needed. We should be notified that restart is required. Another example is shutting down the computer for the night, returning the morning after. Booting up and find the VPN service is running all on its own accord. Making zero mind of it that for instance. I set the start in system services to “disabled” to prevent that. At boot time Norton just writes a new registry entry and re-enables that service again, making its start type automatic. I have screenshots.

We should have a product that monitors US, not US having to monitor it in the instance I just spoke about. That is just bass askwards.
