The Norton and LifeLock Brands are part of NortonLifeLock Inc. I am actively researching alternatives to Norton and LifeLock. I have been a Norton customer for the last 10 years and have recommended it to many friends and family over time.

Why have they chosen a VPN style network connection monitor to implement this?

I don't understand how Norton was doing vulnerability protection prior to the update and how they are doing it now. I'm tired of the constant badgering I get from Norton. However, there should be better options to turn off and keep off those features if needed. I can understand that some features are going to cause a performance hit. This may very well be a function of processor capacity (newer machine) - similar to a VPN the faster the connection, the harder it is for the device to keep up. Speedtest is not as markedly impacted as it is on the iMac. On WiFi, I get about 130mbps with Vulnerability protection on and off. I found some connection blocking rules in the connection blocking feature turned on that I had to eliminate to get it working. When the update went on there, it completely disconnected from the Internet and WiFi was having trouble starting and holding a connection. I also have a 2017 MacBook Air with Big Sur. Add to that the constant badgering about adding browser extensions to manage my web surfing and this product is becoming down right annoying. I cannot disable problematic features because the prompts force me to remediate before I can even get to the Norton Console. However, after a reboot, I am prompted to Fix Now, and it turns vulnerability protection back on. The problem goes away when I turn off Vulnerability Protection - my speeds return to normal. After the update, I noted a Norton360 network device that was not there before the update, so something has changed significantly with how they do vulnerability protection. Ookla was giving me 900mbps up and down prior to a recent Norton Update. With vulnerability protection on, Ookla gives me about 118mbps. I am on Catalina on a late 2012 iMac with 1G Internet hard wired. Is there a way to permanently disable Vulnerability protection? I can turn it off temporarily, but I cannot access the Norton console unless I turn it back on. Something changed dramatically with Vulnerability protection. : cfil_data_service_ctl_q:3991 cfil_service_pending_queue() error -2 : cfil_update_data_offsets:4401 cfil_data_service_ctl_q() error -2

If you look at the debug logs, like Norton should you see the content filter is full of bugs. I don't know why no one will help with this issue. I'm back on wired connection now and disabling the Vulnerability scanning or turning off the content filter restore the speed. If you switch ti wireless its about 360Mbps both directions. If you disable Vulnerability scanning the speed returns to 900Mbps both directions. I had the worst experiences with support as well.

On Safari the upload is impacted more and on FireFox the download is impacted more. On a wired connection NO VPN I drop from 900Mbps down to 160Mbps. I have the same problem as the original issue.
