Norton please get these issues fixed. Several of them are now over a year old. Clients are ticked and I don't blame them.
In fact, clients are now asking me to suggest alternatives in my next newsletter.
If Norton does not have these issues fixed by the end of July, I am left with no choice.
Here is a list of issues that still need fixing.
1. Very slow start up - adds over a minute to the boot sequence time.
2. Persistent requests to allow apps on to the internet.
Norton for Mac incessantly pops up requests for protocols that should be automatically allowed on the Mac.
- avconferenced (is the daemon that handles all webcam requests on macOS)
- CommCenter (service handling network connectivity on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.)
- rapportd (daemon that enables phone call handoff & other communication features between Apple devices.)
- sharingd (daemon that enables AirDrop, Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Shared Computers, and Remote Disc in the Finder.
Unfortunately Norton ignores your settings to allow these protocols. Please fix! Mac users starting reporting this in May 2019.

3. No way of telling Norton to stop asking about installing browser add ons.
4. Norton blocks Disk Utility from erasing disks. It will allow disks to be erased and reformatted in ExFat or Fat.
Norton will not allow disks to be erased and reformatted in APFS or MacOS extended.
