Our company just switched from Symantec to Windows Defender and so far I'm very pleased. On my Windows laptop the fans were running more or less all the time when we had Symantec. With Defender the computer is nearly dead silent.

When looking in Task Manager before, it seemed that Symantec used more CPU than even Visual Studio and related processes.

We had Symantec too, also switched to Windows Defender. Symantec was an awful piece of software for something that should be invisible until needed.
