June 16, 2025

5.0

My overall experience is pretty good, i mean it did it's job and protected and secure my computer data.

Pros

My favorite thing about Norton Antivirus is that I know my data is protected andc secure and i don't have to worry!

Cons

The only con i have about Norton is the fact that it's so expensive but for the quality, i guess i can't complain.

### "A reliable antivirus software"

June 10, 2025

5.0

Norton has been my go to antivirus program for years, going back as far as my childhood when my father worked in IT and installed it on our home computers.

Pros

Norton works well at detecting potential threats and is easy to install. There is also a web extension for Google Chrome which is an added layer of security.

Cons

The cost may be prohibitive for some users. Occasionally it can take an extended period of time to scan for viruses as well.

### "" A EXCELÊNCIA DOS PRODUTOS NORTON ANTIVIRUS ""

October 16, 2024

4.0

A empresa presta um bom suporte para seus clientes,só precisa melhorar na questão de idioma ,que no meu caso que moro no Brasil, o atendente que falou comigo ,por causa de outro produto que eu havia comprado,falou em castelhano e não foi muito satisfatório,pois não entendi quase nada do que ele falou comigo,pois tenho mais facilidade com a minha lingua,que é o português. Espero que a empresa Norton, reflita em tudo que eu relatei nesse texto,em questão as ativações de seus produtos.Vou contar agora como foi minha experiência com o Norton Antivirus é excelente,como eu disse antes,tenho instalado na minha máquina desde 2012,ele atendeu todas as minhas expectativas e em todos os anos venho renovando a lisença dele ,acompanhando todas suas evoluções qu ele vem tendo através de suas atualizações. Tornando as ativações dos seus produtos Norton, como padrão de ativação ,exatamente como é para ativar o norton antivirus,que com certeza nunca mais seus consumidores teram algum problema ,como eu tive ao adquirir outro produto da empresa norton, que não fosse o antivirus deles.

Pros

Bom meus amigos já uso esse produto desde 2012,quando adquiri minha primeira máquina,de lá pra cá não troquei mais de antiviris,por se tratar de um produto completo de fácil manuseio.

Cons

Vou contar agora como foi minha experiência com este protuto,bom com eu disse antes tenho o antivirus norton instalado na minha máquina ,então recebi uma oferta se eu queria testar por algum período o programa (Norton Utilities Ultimate)então aceitei e usei até completar o período de teste,gostei muito,então resolvi renovar a licença por mais 2 anos dentro de um site que eu compro a nova lisença do antivirus. Porém acabei comprando uma licença,de uma versão mais antiga do que eu havia testado,por isso não consegui ativar esse produto, pois segundo o suporte do norton essa lisença só ativaria a versão antiga desse produto. Estou dizendo isso porque,embora fosse um produto da mesma empresa,a forma de ativação é diferente. Agora vou dizer qual é essa diferença de ativação, entre os produtos Norton. Bom a diferença é que a renovação da lisença do antivirus norton é fácil e rápido basta achar onde colocar o novo código de licença no site do próprio produto e pronto. Porém na caso do (Norton Utilities Ultimate) a licença é automática ou seja é só criar uma conta no site do norton através do link que recebe ao adquirir o produto e pronto já está ativado.Só tém que tomar cuidado para não comprar uma versão antiga desse produto ,pois você poderá ter o mesmo problema que eu tive. Gostaria que a Norton mudasse a maneira de ativação do seus produtos,como por exemplo tornado como padrão de ativação ,exatamente como é para ativar o norton antivirus,que com certeza nunca mais seus consumidores teram algum problema ,como eu tive ao adquirir outro produto da empresa norton, que não fosse o antivirus deles.

### "Have confidence Online "

June 4, 2025

5.0

It has made being on line so much safer. I don’t worry as much about being hacked and getting viruses. I get notifications when a site might not be safe. It puts my mind at ease

Pros

I love how safe I feel, with the parental controls. Best ones we’ve found. I don’t worry as much who my kids are talking to.

Cons

It blocks some video appointments on my phone, with my Dr but other than that haven’t found anything.

### "Norton Antivirus"

January 9, 2026

5.0

I had a great experience with the virus software and I plan on to keep using it throughout my computer works and such.

Pros

The antivirus worked really well and was able to detect infections I had on my laptop and it was able to remove them!

Cons

The least likely thing I didnt like about the antivirus is the fact that it took up too much memory and was slow at times.

July 27, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Norton AntiVirus is very positive. Cheap subscription and can be used with all devices.

Pros

Having an easy interface and the Malware protection are the two biggest positives about Norton AntiVirus.

Cons

High CPU usage is the thing I like least about the product. During scans Norton AntiVirus is very resource heavy

### "Great antivirus software with annoying pop-ups."

January 3, 2025

5.0

Overall quite happy with it for my team, not as resource-intensive as it used to be, however the pop-ups are an annoyance.

Pros

Great at protecting my computer from malware and viruses.

Cons

Pop-ups happen too often, too many advertisements for other services considering it's a paid program.

February 10, 2025

4.0

I've been a Norton subscriber for years and it's always been good, but lately I've been getting messages on my screen daily to buy more extensions.

Pros

It has a powerful anti-malware engine, a wide range of internet security tools, an intuitive online dashboard and good support service, all at a better price than most competitors.

Cons

It presents a flaw in the issue of risk of breach of privacy, uninstallation is complex.

### "Fine for what it is, but partially made redundant by more modern and less bloated options"

August 6, 2024

3.0

My overall experience with Norton Anti-virus is that, whilst it was fine for detecting most viruses, it has not made up for it with the huge amount of resource it requires and the lack of features compared to other options out there. I was happy with the support however but did not use for longer than a year.

Pros

I liked the ease of use for the Norton Anti-virus software, as well as the after-sales support when it comes to help with installing in multiple environments or a network of many machines, ensuring they are all secure whilst remaining a consistent connection.

Cons

I do not like that Norton requires a lot more resource compared to other anti-virus softwares out there, it is also a bit dated, and there are other options which are cheaper and offer more features compared to Norton Anti-virus.

Not great because the reason I got it was to get rid of a virus I already had, and it was unable to.

### "Quality Product"

July 8, 2024

5.0

Overall I was highly pleased with Norton AntiVirus Products I have used over the years. They have been easy to install and upgrade or update yearly. They always worked seamlessly and updated constantly to catch any possible virus. I have never had an issue and it did catch a couple of viruses and stopped them from infecting my computer.

Pros

It did not slow my computer down when it was running. It ran in the background, so I never could tell when it was running, ie: it didn't interrupt me or interfere with anything I was doing. I never had a virus come thru when I was using it. It updated automatically without my help or me knowing. It worked seamlessly.

Cons

If I had a concern, it was for most of the above reasons above. It worked so quietly I didn't know it was working. Occasionally I would get nervous that it stopped working, and I would open it up just to check and make sure.

### "Norton the best ! It always has saved me!! "

May 31, 2024

5.0

My overall experience allows me an easy install , reasonable price , great value. Easy to link to my necessary software. I have never had any problem. A+++ for me.

Pros

I believe Norton Antivirus is the best because it gives me real time information. It's value compared to cost of the software is outstanding. I believe if I did not have the threat alerts I would have had viruses on my computer. In the end it is an exceptional service, software and value!!

Cons

I can't really say I don't like anything to be honest! I would not switch. It protects my business and my clients and vendors too much.

Pros

Performs its main function thoroughly. User interface is clean. Trusted and established company. I pretend I am doctor seus and try to rhyme everything i can when i mention norton.

Cons

Extremely persistent with the pop ups and emails when i was ready to try a different program. Expensive, most antivirus programs perform on a similar level at a much lower price. This is ultimately what made me decide i needed to try something different.
