norton does not work

I have Norton AV installed and have the latest Apple operating system (Monterey) installed. Norton software will no longer open. Does this mean that Norton AV. will not work?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

This is probably a godsend...


Third party AntiVirus is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apples own built in security:
