Posted October 25, 20168 yr Because it is not the old resource hog it used to be I was considering using it. But right away it said its pass word feature was not compatible with Edge. Although I would not use that feature I wonder about compatibilty with Windows 10. Would you use it?
October 25, 20168 yr No, Peter I would not. I use MSSE which many are critical of but I have yet to have a problem for the last several years. I also use Antimalwarebytes often.
October 25, 20168 yr FPCH Staff Agreed, I wouldn't use Norton Security. Seen too many problems with it.
October 25, 20168 yr Author I had reservations. Also Defender is not scanning offline which is a known issue. I am using Defender, Windows firewall and MBAM. Windows Defender does not scan offline. I do not feel secure with this package. I do have a router within my ISP's Gateway which is in essence a firewall.

October 26, 20168 yr Hi Peter Also Defender is not scanning offline which is a known issue. This isn't exactly true. If you are running the Win10 insider preview .... you will already have Windows Defender offline: Save your work and close any open applications. Click Start and launch Settings. Go to Update and security and click Windows Defender. Scroll down until you see Windows Defender Offline. Click the Scan Offline button. Your system will restart and Windows Defender will run a scan upon reboot. Microsoft says the process will take around 15 minutes to complete. If are not running Win10 Insider Preview, you can download a version of Windows Defender Offline from here. This is from one of my systems......
