Surely someone should have explained that to BT before it was proferred
to millions of BT customers?

Notwithstanding, which AV software do YOU use?

On Macs, nothing. On Windows, the included software is fine.

BT must have been paid a huge amount of cash by Norton to promote Norton
AV “for free”.

That should tell you all you need to know about how desperate Norton is
these days. If Norton was successful, they wouldn’t be paying people to
use it, would they?

Of course, I don’t expect you to understand any of this, being the flaming
dipshit asshole that you are.
