Malwarebytes premium would (in my opinion) be a better option than Norton. Personally I use Avast free (which is OK but a bit prone to scare tactics to get you to upgrade), Malwarebytes free and Win patrol (also free) which monitors changes to the registry etc.

That's the point - there are no conflicts because I only run Malwarebytes when i feel the need to do a malware scan, and also I do it offline so reduce the likelihood of any conflict.

I use a Mac so Windows Defender isn't an option.
I consider Norton to be the less worse than McAfee. I don't fully trust it as there always seem to be issues with it of one form or another.
