@skiingj There is a way to go back to the older version 22.24.8.36. I believe I posted how to do that in another post here. Here is what I did.
I used the removal tool for version 24.xx and performed a removal only. Then removed ALL folders related to Norton, Symantec, Avast manually and rebooted.
Version 24.xx removal tool:

Next download the older version here, when you manually run LU and have version 22.24.8.36 disable automatic updates in settings and restart: DO NOT download your product from your account, you will again install version 24.xx if you do.

Use Intelligent Updater to keep virus definitions up to date:
Remain in this mode until the 24.xx version has its issues resolved. I am doing this on my daily machine.
