Norton & Symantec security issue

I quit dealing with them years ago.  My computer picked up a virus that came by their stuff, and they wanted 90 bucks to take the virus off.  I just booted in safe mode, downloaded Spyhunter, and cleaned it myself.   I've been running Stopzilla, and Spyhunter since then with no virus problems.

I guess I don't have one. I've heard nothing bad though. When the person I'm fixing the computer for doesn't want to pay $30/year or a paid product is not really the answer, I tend to use AVG free and keep Malware Bytes on their machine. I instruct them to run the scans once in a while and update them and also pop in every once in a while and run Ccleaner (or if they can do it, even better.)
