I'm starting to get worried because my computer keeps notifying me that my Norton antivirus has expired. However, the warning seems off; it has some weird formatting with the word "EXPIRED" in all caps and a red color. I'm running Windows 11 and can't attach a screenshot, but I've heard of viruses posing as antivirus alerts. What should I do?

Definitely consider uninstalling Norton and switch to Windows' built-in antivirus. It's free and does a good job at keeping malware at bay without those annoying pop-ups.
It sounds like those notifications could either be from Norton itself, trying to get you to renew your subscription, or from a browser that’s displaying ads from a questionable site. I suggest uninstalling Norton if you're having doubts about it. You could also check your browser settings for notifications and remove any suspicious ones.
Before making any major changes, just remember to back up your data. You don't want to risk losing anything important while you're troubleshooting!
