Norton 360 Deluxe 2023, Antivirus software for 5 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring [Key Card]

Been using Norton for years. Its lean and doesnt slow machine. Maybe not needed with built in Windows security, but I like the way it works, and I get a loot of use from the included password manager.

This review is for the Norton 360 Deluxe 2022 Internet Security Suite. Ive been using Norton products for many years on computers and Android smartphones. Ive always been very happy with all the Norton products that I have used. Ive never run into a virus or malware issue using their products. I also have not seen any machine slowdown or high resource utilization, although reviews do say it uses more resources than several of the other competitors. Only a couple of times over the years was I not happy with the interface, but I have always been very pleased with the performance. The one thing I find annoying with Norton for the last couple of years is that they are constantly advertising their products and upgrades, which is annoying. The one thing I do not recommend doing is installing their web browser extensions. Every professional review and I.T. professional I have talked to agrees that the adding the web browser extension reduces security. This is because the web browser makers are able to updated and patch their browser quicker than Internet security software makers can. All the publication reviews that I have read put Norton in first, second, or third place. The Microsoft Windows Defender software that comes built in with Windows 10 is also highly rated, but every review I saw still ranked Norton above it.

Ive used Norton for a decade. However over the last year their marketing has become intrusive, annoying and pervasive. They are trying to enlarge their corporate reach buy adding companies and services to their portfolio. In turn they are advertising those services to the point of now becoming the very type of violator that we need an antivirus program to prevent, spam. Norton now generates incessant, repetitive, annoying and intrusive spam messages meant to stimulate you to buy additional programs and services. It is at the point where I find it so annoying that if it continues I will dump them cold. Whoever in their marketing department developed this approach should be fired and replaced immediately before general consensus tanks their stock.

Bottom line, I like the Symantec/Norton malware protection I get from this product. I have been using it for a couple of decades now (in its various forms). When Norton decided to go to the subscription model, I was not amused, but as written in the FAQs, one can buy a new license here for much less than the automated renewal, but it comes with a minor cost: You have to install the new license, at least on one computer. Here is what I did: 1) Waited to get a good deal on this SW around the Black Friday time frame (to be installed at the end of the year). 2) Waited until 45 days before the old license was set to expire then went online to discontinue the automated subscription (I messed up last year and paid full price). 3) Waited until the day the old subscription expired. 4) Uninstalled Norton 365 on my main machine. 5) Rebooted. 6) Installed the latest North 365 (per the instructions) and used the new Key when prompted. 7) Went into MyNorton to assign the new Key to my other machines. 7a) Had to uninstall and reinstall the code on my smartphone in order to apply the new Key to it. This was the only minor issue I had. This renewed subscription is now running on all my computers and my one phone as expected!!! At the reduced cost! Piece of cake.

I had Norton before but dropped it for the new Antiviruses after Norton did not seem to be keeping with the new computer infections. I then saw the reverse when the new antiviruses began to not protect my computer and,on top of that, were charging extra for every single upgrade out there while Norton got better and offered all the upgrades and same new features for a single price. Well, back to oldie but goodie and cheaper too.

This is a good product I have used for over a decade. A renewal installation can sometimes be a bit challenging. See google for helps. The subscription clock resets on the day you install it, so any remaining days on the old subscription are lost. I usually buy and hold when the price is good and then wait until my old subscription has 1 day left; and then I install.

I was going to order it from a retail store, when I read the comments a few people felt the Norton came from a third party and had problems installing. This was from Norton worked great and tech support helped me get it installed. If you are on auto renew it will be quite a bit higher cost in a year. So find out how to turn off your auto renew. I still haven’t done it yet, they auto renew 3 months before expiration is what I heard/read?

Easy to install. Never had a problem with this software. Would buy again. Very good protection. On 5 of my products.

They auto-renewed my license from last year for over a sawbuck so I canceled and bought this for 1/6 the price. The interface is a little different but similar enough to last years.

Great software for the price!
