The last time I had to reinstall was a week ago after a patch where Control Panel said that Norton was installed but I had no icons and no record of the app in the system tray or in the applications list when you pressed the start button. The first time Windows 10 said the version of Norton I had installed was incompatible with Windows 10. In addition I've had to uninstall and reinstall Norton 2 times on this laptop on recent months.

At this point I have not evaluated Security software in the last few years but I'm thinking that now might be a opportune time to do so.
