This link contradicts yours but it seems the first Norton
Anti-Virus dates to 1991.

Peter Norton Computing was acquired by Symantec
in 1990.
Peter Norton Computing was founded in 1986 and
produced Norton Commander but this was not an
anti-virus programme.

Remarkable. This month is the 20th anniversary of the first virus
(brain). so your artillery must therefore predate the first virus.
Or are you telling porkies?

I've used Norton/Symantec for decades and been well-rewarded with
protection.
As I noted previously, I also have backup artillery ready to fire --
if required -- but have never had to use it in over 20 years.

I don't say decades in my case but if you want an integrated package
and you aren't a professional, then Norton Internet Security offers
a good deal of support.
