Norton 360 Premium 2023, Antivirus software for 10 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring [Key card]

Last time I used Norton Utilities, Peter Norton was still around and Symantec had just bought out Peter. At the time I felt it was a unwanted drag on system resources, of course the resources on a 386 or 486 were pretty scarce compared to whet weve had in the last 10 years. This version seems not to be pesky in that way. Ive not noticed any particular hit in performance on my AMD 3700X or my decade-old Stony Bridge and Ivy Bridge i7s. There are annoyances with the constant promotion of their Chrome extensions (of which I am mostly dubious), their VPN, and a variety of other parts of the product. Ive avoided most of these mostly out of distrust. And I already have a VPN. It did an excellent job of doing a complete scan, including my NAS (which I was happy to see). I am going to hope that I can avoid paying the full monte for another year, having put purchase of another package in my calendar for 11 months after installation. I am happier with this than I was with BitDefender or Eset similar packages. But I still think I ought to get at least the freeware version of Malwarebytes. Belt and suspenders, you see.<G>

I get this annually for myself and family. Ive used Norton/Symantec products for two decades. Never been dissatisfied.

On the first computer, Android phone & Android Tablet, it was easy to install after removing my Expired versions of older Norton Security. They do NOT make it clear you should Uninstall any older Norton Security apps. For some reason, it was much more difficult to remove Norton Security and Norton Scan with the built Uninstall buttons that came with those older versions. Had to get latest version of NRnR to Remove from the 1st & 2nd PC. Not a quick or smooth process. New Install on other devices was done using the Add a Device email invitation process for all devices after the 1st PC. Found out the next day, that even though the software is on all 6 of our devices, only 4 successfully registered on our new Norton 360 subscription. Waited on the phone for 24 minutes on one call then gave up. Waited 15 minutes for a live chat, then got someone who didnt understand what I was clearly saying in English. Then got transferred to another Tech support Chat with a waiting line of 5-9 minutes. 35 minutes for nothing. Gave up on that too. If you want Norton Tech support, you have to be willing to wait online or on the phone for more than a few minutes. The software does work well but hoping I have no other Tech support needs. Do not expect to talk quickly to Tech support person in the US.

So the key features from this package that stand out to me are: protection for 10 devices, an included VPN, basic Lifelock coverage, a password manager, and 75GB of cloud back-up. So yeah, you get a lot to say the least. The only thing I found mildly irritating is that it had to be shipped. Previously, you could have a digital code sent, and its still an option if you want it linked with Amazon. I also recommend that each year, you disable your Norton subscription, and then just buy another code here. Youll save money that way, but you have to remember to do that extra IT administration one day a year.

Like the protection but really DISLIKE the constant manipulation to try to get you to purchase additions to the program! I paid a high price for the program and if I want additional features I dont need your reoccurring ads within the program Ive already paid for!!! Probably will NOT purchase again.

Does it work for stopping viruses? Probably. But Norton has become a virus! The problem is that several times a week I have to close ads on my desktop from Norton. They use scare tactics about other data breaches to try to upsell your subscription. I turned off the option for adds from them and they still pester me.

This was a tremendous value - you get so many more services from Norton in this version than previous years, including Lifelock monitoring and protection. Our family uses so many devices now, this covers all of em with a couple to spare just in case we add another tablet or phone. Like the service I get and the ability to tune up my PC. Also love the VPN protection on mobile devices because it protects us so much better when we use public wifi at hotels or airport. Just great. Im okay with auto-renewal feature, by the way, because Norton has been really good about notifying ahead of time so that I have time to shop for a better price (as I did this time around)! Easy install. Whats not to like?

Turn off Auto renew! Had a charge for $114 on my Credit card, bought for $24.99

I needed at least 6 licenses. Norton does not give long term users any discounts. They offered a 5 license version for at least 3x this price. I have 4 more licenses left and now I can add to other devices that I usually didnt protect because I was a few short. Installation -- easy -- just uninstall the older version, (keep settings), install the new version and up and running. Also, they have greatly improved adding to other machines. You go to your account and simply click on the machine, enter the licence, and when that machine comes on, it will automatically update. So, I could update all the machines without having to boot them at that time, and could just wait until they came on line. I also used a barcode scanner to enter the license so double easy. I sure dont like entering in 25 char keys. (Barcode scanners are really cheap now). Of course the other way is to type once into NOTEPAD, and copy/paste into the license field -- but I wanted to use my barcode scanner for fun. Be sure to remember to disable the auto renewal at least 2 months before the time. I was waiting and suddenly saw a charge about 1.2 month before the expiration! But that was ok, Norton reversed the charges without issue! No question asked and I told them it was a price issue and suggested they meet these competitive prices at least for long term customers! MY experience with Cust Service with Norton has always been great and they have always been helpful especially when I had one of those not-bad viruses hit and with some minor issues. (I allowed them to take over the machine and that got it done fastest, PLUS I learned a few tricks when they did their cleaning)

Switched from McAfee. Both Norton and McAfee are good. However, Norton is a nuisance in daily trying to sell upgrades and add ons by making you believe that the program you just purchased is inadaquate. This action is a P.I.A.
