Scheduling a scan for when you'll be away from your machine means tackling a complex dialogue box, rather than stepping through a simple wizard such as Norton AntiVirus's. At least VirusScan's automatic virus definition updater matches Norton's.
You set VirusScan's version to automatically detect, download and install new definitions without bothering you. How well does it all work? Although VirusScan caught zipped viruses, however, a true virus killer must deal well with overall definitions, giving it a long-term ability to identify hundreds of in-the-wild viruses as they come up.
Here, VirusScan's performance is suspect. Of the last six exams dating back to July , VirusScan scored a perfect only once. However, its moderate performance with real-world viruses knocks this program off our must-get list for everyone except current VirusScan users.

Norton AntiVirus 's enhanced protection against these new threats offers a big improvement over Norton AntiVirus That said, Norton is not as proactive as McAfee VirusScan , which warns you before downloading suspected adware and spyware, a feature we'd like to see added to all antispyware apps some day. And we wish Symantec had left well enough alone and not cluttered the clean and highly functional interface of the previous edition.
Despite these two things, Norton AntiVirus is a solid upgrade for current users, but new users still might want to look for faster, lighter performance found in other antivirus apps instead. Our installation of Norton AntiVirus went smoothly, thanks to the assistance of a helpful wizard. We've always appreciated Norton AntiVirus's clean and logical interface. Unfortunately, with this year's debut of the Norton Protection Center, Norton AntiVirus has lost that uncluttered usability.
The Norton Protection Center appears both as a separate icon in the system tray as well as a separate window within the software's control console. So whenever VirusScan comes out, you'll automatically download it and its new features--unless it's time for you to resubscribe with McAfee. McAfee provides a variety of free support, including online chat, e-mail, and Web-based user forums, tips, and FAQs--more options than Symantec provides its Norton users.

Before you make a lot of assumptions about how my system is installed, please answer this question: Why did all the previous windows 10 upgrades up to work and now all of a sudden and "discovers" that I supposedly have a software package installed that is not compatible with windows 10 which is not installed on the system to begin with???
This is because it's the Upgrade Advisor that can find ghosts like that, even an installer in the Downloads folder it mistakes as the installed AV. So if you create the bootable media or download the ISO to open or mount and run, the error should disappear.
There may be other hurdles but it won't be a ghost like this. And the tutorial compiles everything that works best to get over those hurdles. I see you went ahead and rated my post unhelpful even though I asked you to wait until it's resolved.
This affects my standing here, for telling you the truth even if it's not what you wanted to hear, based on ten years helping daily forums - during which I've earned the highest award in the tech field every single year.
Did you want me to release the thread? No expert will pick it up now that it has a bad rating on it. Do you have any McAfee in your Downloads folder at all? Is Defender and Firewall on and running in Security Settings if you type Security in Search box, open to look at status of everything?
