Norton = Excellence
Norton is the very best internet security & you cannot go wrong purchasing Norton from Amazon. I always get the Norton 360 for 10 devices & everyone always asks me "Why do I get the one with 10 Devices for?" & I tell them that I would rather HAVE something & not need it over NOT having something & needing it. With all the electronics that are in our homes & on our persons these days and how expensive it all is & then with the information that is on these electronic devices, I want the very best in protection & that's why I buy Norton & nothing else ever. Great price & on time delivery. Thank youVer másVer menos

Good Product; Failed to Warn of Upcoming Renewal Charge
The pros are: The product works great. Easy to use and keeps you informed of issues.The cons are: 1. Upon purchase, whether from Amazon or directly from Norton, they require you to enter a renewal payment credit card or PayPal account to activate the installation and so they can charge you for your renewal at the end of the subscription period. In my case, the renewal date was 6-14-23. Today, 5-10-23, they charged my credit card , but they never sent the promised email notification ahead of time saying when or how much would be charged. The only way I knew this had occurred was today they sent me an email saying my subscription had been renewed and my card had been charged for $140. Fortunately, they do have a 60 day period after a direct purchase from them during which you can request a full refund, which I did promptly today. We'll see how long it takes before the refund arrives. (**UPDATE**: The refund was credited to my credit card on the same day I requested it, so they did a great job of honoring their agreement on that.) Now I'll start searching for a better price on this good Norton product to install after my current subscription expires.2. You are constantly offered ways to add services to your subscription for an additional charge. The first few times are ok, but to do it all the time is not.The moral to the story is they didn't do what they advertised that they would do regarding providing a notice before charging your credit card to renew your subscription. But, you can stop the automatic renewal process on their website. They say that when you do this, they won't provide telephone support for your subscription after you stop the renewal process. I don't know if that's true or not, but just in case, I had planned to wait until just before my renewal date to stop the automatic renewal. However, they charged me without advance notice a full 34 days before the renewal date. So, you need to pay attention to the renewal date and stop the automatic renewal process at least 40 days or so before renewal date so you won't have to worry about getting charged without advance notice.Ver másVer menos

Find something else. Norton is bloated, inefficient, adware, and nearly impossible to uninstall
I have been a Norton (Symantec) user for about 10 years. As of 2023, I have had enough. I strongly recommend you find something else now.== ADWARE WITH PROTECTIONNorton does protect. However, it has become bloated and inefficient. It insists on doing additional scans only to try and sell you upgrades to fix "problems." I am sure less tech-savvy people fall for the urgent recommendations and the tricky subscription sign-ups for additional products. The incessant pop-ups are almost always unnecessary and often lead to these upsell attempts.== PUTS YOU AT RISK OF COMPLETELY DISABLING YOUR COMPUTEROne of the "fixes" it now offers is to update drivers. Unless you are careful, applying their updates could cause huge problems with your computer. You should really only be doing this through your computer manufacturer's update methods (website or software app).== THE OUTRAGEOUS UNINSTALL EXPERIENCEUninstalling Norton is ridiculous!! Using the normal Windows uninstaller fails to complete so you are directed to download and use the "Norton Removal and Reinstall" tool. Running that, it only has a button for "Remove and Reinstall" but if you click on the "Advanced" button, it displays a grave warning that you shouldn't just uninstall and then, finally, a "Remove Button." (see photo)But wait!! You think it's gone, but it might not be. After rebooting one of my computers, an urgent Norton window popped up telling you to reinstall Norton! I had to run their removal tool two more times to get rid of it, not before searching the web to find lots of people needing more help getting it off their system.UPDATE: After over a week, one of our other computers started popping up a window insisting we reinstall Norton with NO CANCEL BUTTON. You have to end the process (very technical) to get it to go away.UPDATE #2: I was at my father's house for the holidays and he also wanted to move to a different antivirus product. I tried to uninstall Norton, ran into the same problems, and I had to contact Norton support to get it removed!!! They had to connect to his laptop to do it remotely!!! If you ignore what I've said and install it anyway, I hope you like it because you'll never remove it on your own. Choose another option.This uninstall experience cemented my decision to switch to something else. It's basically malware.== MY SWITCHMy Netgear router has a network protection service that includes their well-reviewed Bitdefender antivirus software, a Norton competitor. I decided to try it out on one computer. It's so much more peaceful. I does need initial tweaking in terms of what protection I do and don't want which is expected. Of course, it has some premium offerings (e.g., VPN), but it isn't aggressive and tricky like Norton. The software itself is priced competitively.== Regarding VPNsDon't use the Norton VPN or any antivirus software's VPN. You'll get much better performance from a separate VPN service for the same or cheaper. I use Windscribe but there are other good ones out there (NordVPN, SurfShark, ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access), Check reviews.

Canceling Auto-Renewal Is Now Easy
July seems to be when Norton is a steal at Amazon. I don't have 10 devices, but I can share the registration code with someone who is not in my household. Once you enter the code during the registration process, your year starts, even if you don't load the other licenses onto other devices for weeks or months later.This also means that if you buy several copies of the software (say, a great sale price), you can just stockpile those licenses for several years until you need them. (Personally, I wouldn't buy more than several years worth, as a lot changes in software, and there may be dramatic upgrades that you'd want, such as new cybersecurity protections not yet developed.)1- The Big Thing: Yes, you have to use a credit or debit card, or PayPayl, to register your Norton product. (For Shame, Norton.) I don't think it's much protection to use PayPal to keep your private info from Norton, as both PayPal and Norton would seem to be prime targets for data hackers.2 - Canceling Auto-Renewal: As Soon as I Finished Registration, I went into the options of my account (you will have to create one if you don't have one already), and I canceled auto-renewal. I didn't have to call anyone (maybe Norton paid attention to the reviews here), but I did have to go through a 3-click process to cancel, as Norton tried to "pressure" me to keep the auto renewal. (Shame, Norton.) You just keep clicking that you don't want it, and you're done in 10 seconds.3 - Ease of setting up: The set-up link requires you to first read the Terms of Service, but then didn't take me to the right page for entering the registration code. I went round about through various web pages, but I think logging in, if you have an account, might have been the better way to start. When I did, I finally got the text box to enter the code. (Be sure to have cookies enabled for the set up, but I did not have to disable Adblock Plus or Ghostery, another blocking app.)4 - Downloading: I already had Norton on my laptop. I did not have to do anything to the old version, including uninstalling it. Norton asks you to download the new version, and installation was very quick and problem-free. With my cable ISP, it took just a couple of minutes.5 - If this is your first time using Norton, plan a good 30 minutes to go through every option to customize your Norton product as to how you want Norton to function. It's tedious, but after that, new installs retain your settings.6 - The most important option -- automatic update: I've been a user of Norton for decades. I've never had a virus, malware, attack, or other problem. But I also play it smart and careful when I'm online, and it's critical to keep Norton updated as cyberattacks happen round the clock. This is the only app/software that I allow to automatically update itself, which happens whenever I go online. (I do not leave my computer connected to the Internet 24/7, for security.)The update happens behind the scenes, so to speak, is quick, and never interferes with the function of my browser. I also have Norton automatically scan my computer for viruses, malware, etc. Let Norton do its job. I hope all of that helps you.
