'''Peter Norton Computing, Inc.''', was a software company founded by [[Peter Norton]]. The first and best known software package it produced was [[Norton Utilities]]. Another successful software package was Norton Commander, especially the [[DOS]] version. The company in this form lasted from its founding in 1982 until 1990, when it was acquired by Symantec (now [[Gen Digital]]).

The Symantec merger helped Norton Computing regain the market share it was losing to competitors, especially [[Central Point Software]]. Norton Computing's revenues tripled between June 1990 and September 1991, and by November it appeared to have regained the market lead over Central Point.
