Gen Digital Inc.
A maker of consumer security software, Gen Digital provides antivirus and online-privacy tools sold under the brands Norton, Avast, and LifeLock, used by households and small businesses to block malware and guard personal data. Its lineage traces to Symantec, founded in 1982, which purchased Peter Norton Computing in 1990 and launched Norton Antivirus; after buying LifeLock in 2017, NortonLifeLock merged with Avast in 2022 to form Gen Digital. One fun detail: software founder Peter Norton famously posed in his own products' packaging and advertisements.
