What is "duplication"? And yes, for the most part Norton et al are in fact running a scam. Even more so with the giant system bloat of "Utilities". I am sure you know that the "virus" of the past has been taken over by more fun types of malware - most of which are user run (and thus circumventing Norton). The more MMC we see the more blocking at the gateway is needed (and becoming more common even for home users).

That said, if you have Norton and McAfee on the same system - neither will work properly. I will stick to Defender and have my Gateway handle the real protection tasks
