I thought of Symantec as being B tier; A tier being Apple and Microsoft. When I got an M1 Mac Mini I wanted to install Macafee anti-virus but it was verboten, so I defaulted to Norton out of brand loyalty. But it was part of Norton 360 and after install I immediately regretted it and didn't trust the uninstaller. So now it's a non-world-facing machine connected by sneakernet.

I think I saw the beginning of the end. They never migrated Norton Disk Editor to Mac OSX. Once machines wouldn't boot under OS 9, you couldn't do-si-do right past the password in the boot blocks.
