Have Norton Security===Need Malwarebytes Too??
Sorry for so many posts; I seem to be having issues w/computers. I think I understand that something like Norton removes virus's but may leave malware, right? So I need both?

Let's clear some inaccuracies. First, Norton is highly rated as an effective AV software by notable security testing organizations. Among the top for paid apps. Yes, there are a few free AV rated just as high. But if you've already paid for Norton, there is no reason to drop it.
I'd also recommend keeping a copy of Malwarebytes(MB) installed on all your computers. The FREE version does "not" have real time scanning enabled, so cannot interfere with your current AV software. And does not slow down your computer as such.
Use MB as a secondary, on-demand scanner when needed. Or as a secondary check on occasion. It's strength is as a repair tool should malware install itself in your system. BTW, MB was the only anti-malware app to receive a 100% repair rating among paid and free apps tested by AV-Test.org.
