### "Invasive Anti Virus"

January 21, 2022

3.0

Effective defense against external threats, for basic users with little experience dealing with security issues this and MacAfee are good options but if you don't want your computer 'gummed up' with anti virus backups and restore saves etc.. then another option may be for you.

Pros

It does what it says, if you give it all the permissions that it requires it will protect you from outside threats.

Cons

It links into every part of your computer, the longer you use it the slower your CPU response becomes, eventually slowing your computer to the point where you may as well have a virus.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

It came as a free install on a new PC, I ran with it for a few years but then had to get another PC as my 'new' one had slowed to a snails pace. Upon advice from an IT pro I moved away from Norton & MacAfee and went with AVG. Performance on my 'new new' Pc is still good a few years on.

### "Norton is one of the best."

April 11, 2022

5.0

With the full version, Norton is totally awesome.

Pros

I love the way it keeps up with new threats.

Cons

The only downside to Norton is its cost. Yes, they have a free version. But to get the full effect, you have to buy the full version.

### "Use Norton AntiVirus to Safely Use your Computer"

June 23, 2022

5.0

Our overall experience with Norton AntiVirus has been positive. It seems to work well at preventing viruses from getting onto our computers and alerts us to any suspicious activities.

Pros

Knowing that we have a dependable antivirus software puts our minds at ease so we can do our jobs without having to worry if we are going to get a virus.

Cons

If you need to uninstall the software, it can be quite challenging to remove it completely.

### "Excellent antivirus with first line defense against malwares"

February 28, 2022

5.0

This antivirus has been protecting our business intelligence as well as our data for more than 3 years. We really feel confident that our PCs are safe along with the data. I have not heard of any malware attack Since I joined. Norton AntiVirus can be installed for better data security for anyone (both personal and corporate).

Pros

Norton AntiVirus is easy to use. I like the following features most- a. Brand image. b. Easy to install and update. c. Automatic scanning feature for downloading and USB storage devices. d. Trusted security against malwares. e. Better and prompt customer service.

Cons

I do not see anything as improvement areas for Norton AntiVirus as I am a happy user till now.

### "Norton is excellent at keeping your computer and devices protected."

February 21, 2022

5.0

I love Norton 360. It's a comprehensive protection suite that has everything I need to keep my computer, devices and data safe. The antivirus protection is excellent, and I haven't had any problems with it. I highly recommend Norton 360 to anyone looking for a good antivirus solution.

Pros

I have been using Norton 360 for a while now, and I am very happy with it. It provides complete protection against computer viruses and other malware. I really appreciate the device security features like VPN and password management, which are really handy when I need to access sensitive information. It is all in one simple solution, which makes it easy to use.

Cons

The renewal price is rather expensive, but you need to protect your computer and devices from viruses.

### "Norton is the best software to protect my laptop"

February 7, 2022

5.0

I like how overall it runs smoothly on my laptop and runs scans quickly.

Pros

I have tried many different antivirus software and was frustrated with how many of them were running on my laptop especially slowing it down or interrupting my work. I like how Norton has always been super quick at running scans while finishing my daily work.

Cons

Nothing really wrong but sometimes can be hard to figure some things out on the software.

### "I've stuck with Norton for 5+ years because I find it easy to use and secure."

December 13, 2018

5.0

I've had it for about 7 years now. I started with a different version, but as they improved their service they upgraded their security software and gave it different names. I liked that for a while I didn't have to upgrade and was just able to put in the new key code to extend my subscription. But even when I had issues with an install, their customer service helped me through it. There products are available at a lot of stores, and I've been able to basically get it for free for these past few years by using my Amazon slow shipping credits.

Pros

I love their Vault where they store your passwords. It allows me to sync it to other computers I use, too, if I let them store it in the cloud. Each year when I renew I generally don't have to install new software--I just provide the new product key code and I'm all set to go for another 365 days. Also, their Customer Support is great. I'm not too tech savvy, so I've let them take care of things by taking over my computer, and they're fast and efficient.

Cons

Their tool bar is not compliant with all the different browsers and all their different editions. Sometimes I upgrade a browser and lose the Norton tool bar. Other times I upgrade and it comes back. There's not place that I've found where I can find of list of which ones I can or can't use.

### "Norton AntiVirus Review"

January 12, 2022

2.0

Overall I have a bad experience with Norton AntiVirus, as it way too intrusive. The pop-ups happen too often and it really makes the experience unpleasant. I would prefer an Anti Virus that quietly runs in the background. Also, I don't use most of the extra features provided by Norton AntiVirus as they do not seem that useful.

Pros

Viruses are identified extremely fast and immediately quarantined. There are a plethora of extra security that you could enable too.

Cons

It is way too intrusive. There are so many pop-ups just from visiting safe sites, and also pop-ups just for accessing your webcam. I think this is way too annoying and unnecessary. Also, there is no way to disable this feature.

### "Great Antivirus Protection, choose from multiple plans"

June 10, 2022

5.0

Choose plan most useful to you. With more expensive you can connect additional devices and also get encryption, reimbursement, professional help, etc. If you want to add one more device better to upgrade to Deluxe.

Pros

Norton Offers 4 plans. With each you get protection against malware, spyware, viruses, etc. I used Norton on and off many times over the years (Other times I either had another version, included or not, or let it lapse). Can recommend that during their times I never had any issues whatsoever. Never got to expirience their more advanced perks, since no viruses ever got in!

Cons

No issues at all, my only concern was solely that you get introductory price only for the first year.

### "Great anti-virus software"

March 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

This software keeps itself up to date very effectively. It's saved my computer a number of times from being infected by new viruses. I like not having to worry about updating it.

Cons

The only downside is having to reboot my computer when the software itself needs updating. I understand the reason but I have an older computer that takes awhile to reboot, so it does slow me down a bit. Not a big deal, though.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

I tested Macafee briefly on another computer but didn't really like it. Norton was familiar and effective.

### "We used it for years, but it became too heavy "

May 19, 2021

3.0

We used it for many years at our agency, because we got a good subsidized pricing for nonprofit, education and government. But when those discounts began to fade away, and it wasn't quite doing the job anymore, and became too expensive, pervasive and problematic, so are moving on soon.

Pros

It's a name that we could trust, as Norton has been in the antivirus business for many years, so we felt good about using it.

Cons

The software seems heavy and pervasive. While it needs to be pervasive to protect the system, it shouldn't always be in your face. As resource heavy as it is, and at such a cost, it should preform better than it does. When we stopped getting the government discount, we began looking at alternatives.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

Originally, we chose Norton because it was once the biggest name in antivirus, one of the first to provide a business solution that met our needs, and a trusted name. Also there fewer alternatives at the time. Once we got used to using Norton products, we stuck with them for many years.

With Norton Antivirus, I am confident my files and data is safe. It gives me the peace of mind to focus on other business matters as against worrying about malwares, and viruses.

Pros

There's no feature I least like about Norton Antivirus software

### "Norton Antivirus preview by iGot Holdings LLC"

June 25, 2022

5.0

It is a great antivirus software that I constantly use as a go to, when security risks and other cyber threats are an issue, and I can confidently say it's one of the best antivirus softwares on the market.

Pros

It is a brand that has been around for years and has stood the tests of time with constantly innovative security options that are top of the line in the antivirus realm that I can feel very confident in and recommend others can use very well too.

Cons

There are not many technical flaws of the software but the pricing could be better and the actual mapping of the visuals can be more intuitive.

### "Reliable tool. The real deal. "

February 24, 2022

5.0

Nice experience, not too difficult or complicated to operate. You will definitely feel (and be) safe with this app.

Pros

It basically does what it should and it does it correctly. Well built and designed. You can rest assured it will protect your device. Frequent updates for the newest malware.

Cons

Many other competitors include features and side apps, but with Norton you only get the one thing. You have to buy each app or feature separately.

January 24, 2022

I have worked as a computer technician for more than 2 years and I have distributed and installed many devices with Norton Antivirus. It was very easy to install and it doesn't slow down the PC. But the price is a little too much if we compared it with other Antivirus software.

Pros

Simple and user-friendly interface Use fewer computer resources Immediate response to threats Best Value cross-platform support

Cons

Lack of updates Not best as Bitdefender, Kaspersky eyc

### "Mostly personal, but also professional, my go-to antivirus program."

March 16, 2019

5.0

In 2009 we had a large ice storm in my area. Power was out for days, the internet was out for weeks. I didn't realize my anti-virus had expired, I believe I was using McAffee at the time, and when the internet finally came back on I got a virus and lost all of my family pictures and journal entries. It was a painful experience. Thankfully, I installed Norton soon after and I have not had a single recurrence, even though my browsing habits can be a bit risky at times.

Pros

Easy-To-Use software with a lot of features, I have never had a computer infection while running Norton on my computer, either personal or work. Not only does Norton stop threats at the "door" of my computer, it also helps educate users on what are the safe habits of internet usage.

Cons

Not sure what to put here, because I don't really have any. I guess the Norton toolbar it installs on my browser can be a bit annoying.

### "Powerful antivirus with some not so good surprises"

March 10, 2022

5.0

I used it mainly as antivirus, the firewall control and antimalware wasn't really something we took to much attention. As antivirus, it has done the work, kept our organization virus free during our license.

Pros

Still a powerful, full fledged antivirus software, with firewall and some antimalware included. This function is done well, and while you be aware of updating your av database everything would be ok.

Cons

What I really do not liked AT ALL, was the inclusion of a cryptocurrency mining software, because I really believe that that creates a HUGE conflict of interest. And some people in my team got troubles to disable the miner after it was enabled. That is simple not acceptable.

### "Best Security Software"

September 5, 2018

4.0

My overall experience with Norton Security has been excellent. My desktop works great. When I surf online and I go to a particular location where there is trouble. Norton automatically notifies me that there is danger approaching. I need to exit that site and I do. Norton can identify a threat before it will ever get to your pc. It cleans up before it messes up your device. I feel so secure. This anti virus protection allows me to enjoy the internet without all the hassle. Anytime I purchase a new pc or laptop, I make sure I download Norton before I start surfing the net. Norton Security Anti virus protection software gives me a peace of mine.

Pros

This security software keeps me from having to worry about surfing on the internet or using my important information when I shop online. I know I am protected everywhere I go on the internet. It protects me from spyware, viruses, malware and online threats. Norton does routine cleaning so my laptop and my desktop runs smooth without any issues.

Cons

The cost should be a little more reasonable. Despite the free 30 day trial, many customers will choose to use the many choses of free anti virus protection software online. I myself get a package deal when I pay for Comcast/Xfinity services. It comes free because I chose Comcast as my internet provider.

### "The best security suite out there!"

January 8, 2020

5.0

Norton Security makes web browsing much safer and has the added benefit or not hogging RAM or CPU like way back in the past.

Pros

Setup was seamless, fast and not intrusive like in the past products. The interface is simple to use, navigate and set up if necessary. Otherwise Norton has pretty much put it on autopilot. It also does not tie up CPU resources as well.

Cons

The My Norton portal is not an easy thing to go around and navigate. It usually takes me several mouse clicks to get to where I need to get. It is also difficult to confirm if you have deactivated a license seat so it can be installed and licensed to a different machine.
