Norton 360 is good and you can install it on a ton of devices for you and your family.

Offers customised protection and power tools for sorting out common issues in the background as well as backups, anti-virus, VPN, firewalls..


Errrr no take it from a fifteen year IT pro

Norton is shite. Don't bother it's basically nagware and bloat and slow as pudding shite

You can get by fine online without as long as you're not egregiously trusting

If you need Norton look at what kind of ship you're captain of in the first place

In Excel if you copy a cell array and do 'paste special>linked picture' it will paste a picture of that array that automatically updates - even if you have something outside the cells like a chart or dotted line.

Blew my mind.
If I were a linesman, I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides.

Can anyone recommend an adblock extension for chrome that will work with Youtube? I usually swear by uBlock origin but it seems youtube can detect it now and stop playback.

I still use Ublock Origin, but with Firefox. There was a while a couple of months ago where I was getting the warnings on Youtube, but seems like UBlock have won out if using Firefox.... for now. Not seen it in ages now.

Actually thinking about it, I don't see them on my work laptop either where I have to use Edge...

The Google owned browser seems to be the issue here.

Get rid of Chrome is the answer, then Ublock, Privacy Badger and SponsorBlock
