 Maybe the thinking was 'Well they created most of the Virus problem, they can clear it up'?

I was a long-time user of ESET Antivirus until Windows 10 and the much-enhanced Defender came along. ESET was reliable, frequently updated, had a fairly low impact on performance, and a generally good reputation at the time. I haven't used it in three years or so.

A few years ago I started work on a web project that involved an interactive hex-grid display (yes, it was a game). I used jQuery 1.1 and a nice add-on library that allowed jQuery-like control of SVG. It worked very well but I had other things come along and I left it alone for a couple of years.
Now I want to start it up again but the SVG library is no longer maintained and doesn't seem to work with Jquery 3.0 which I want use as I use it in all my other web projects. Someone suggested I switch to one called "Raphael" but before I start converting my old code I want to scan the field for the best option.
Any suggestions?
Note: I have a lot of images already created in SVG so I am not looking to switch to using HTML5 canvas instead.

I used Raphael a few years ago. It worked well for what I needed, which was a "user control" for tagging and annotating images.
Other than that though I haven't used it for anything significant, nor have a used anything else to compare it to.
Unless you have some very specific needs, I wouldn't think it matters much what you use. Perhaps even just choose the library that has been around the longest, that way you probably don't have to worry about restarting a 2nd time in another few years.

Hmmm. I just found Snap.svg which is written by the same author(s) of Raphael. Supposedly it's got all of Raphael but without legacy browser baggage and new feature for modern browsers.

I already have decided upon my main framework; I was looking for an SVG library but none of those sites even mention SVG - although I might have missed one.

Okay, after 'retiring',I started doing the odd 1099 contract on the side. It has done a fairly good job of giving me enough slush to take a few trips, buy some nice things (new house!), etc. However (always have one of those, right?) I am now in a position of taking on two contracts, both of which want 8 hours a day. Both are interesting and in areas I have not done much in (one in simulation/animation and the other is e-finance).
Any thoughts or experiences about juggling two 8 hour/day contracts?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I've done all of those except butchering the hog, writing the sonnet and dying gallantly (except in a game, does that count?).
I am not, to the best of my knowledge, an insect.

Well writing a sonnet shouldn't be too difficult to tick of the list... so that only leaves dying gallantly while butchering a hog.
Personally I only ever eat meat where the butcher also died in the process. It makes me feel happy knowing there is a certain balance being preserved.

Are you kidding? Sonnets are hard!  Butchering and dying are easy compared to poetry!

I believe this is a quote from a "Lazarus Long" book by Robert Heinlein. Is this correct?
I am a big SF fan too!

Correct (an excellent book) but it's in StonyOwl's sig I copied it from.
