Getting an update to this thread

We normally use Norton, because our ISP provides it for free. My wife's computer at work had a nasty Rootkit. I used Malwarebytes to kill it off, then Rkill and Malwarebyte Root Removal software to find the last little bits. The Rootkit actually had the ability to block downloading MWB!

I suspect she clicked on an e-mail attachment.

Anyway, Norton apparently failed! I'm leaving MWB on her PC and I activated Windows Defender and seeing how it runs.

Everyone seems to have a favorite, but CNET pretty much rates all of them the same these days.
