### "Norton Antivirus Software: Not Worth The Money"

December 29, 2021

4.0

I feel this sofware overall is ok. Previously I have been underwhelmed, with the performance of this product. When tested it gave a low percentage of viruses detected, however recent experience with this software have imporved my feelings towards this Norton Antivirus. It gave a high percentage (around 98% or 99%) which is competative with any of the other Antivirus sofware.

Pros

This software provides adequete protection from viruses and hackers. I had previously had a good experience with norton products, and this one seems "okay". Nothing special.

Cons

I often get called out to customers premises and turns out they have a computer full of viruses because Norton's didn't pick it up. The customer then without fail will say "But I had virus pretection. They sold it to me when I bought the computer."

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

It was sold to me with the computer and was already installed.

### "Norton Antivirus review"

August 3, 2021

5.0

Pros

Everything with Norton Antivirus is excellent and it has help me in protecting both of my work computer and home computer. It only need to be set one time, and just leave it. It will handle all of the threat that are found, and remove the threat automatically without my intervention.

Cons

They should revise again on their marketing strategies. Too many of spam pop-up and email that they have sent to upgrading the software to the next tier. It has becoming annoying and unnecessary to sending constant marketing pop-up.

### "Antivirus that actually Works!!!"

June 23, 2022

5.0

Norton is the best in the market when it comes to defend your PC, it defends, protects and keeps the walls guarded with vast database, with good team to keep working behind finding threatening worms for your PC.

Pros

Norton has a clean interface, most expressing notification for each threat level, Most frequent updating database for trojan horses of epic Troy, easy and handheld operations for manual scanning for spy's and the worms, strong Starwars Shield with kirks quick response according to threat level, storage and ways to get back the affected crews of your PC!!!

Cons

Antivirus database sometimes gets confused about the data extensions and obviously, in this sinsekai, types of the data extensions are raising like an avalance.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

Capterra shows me the reviews from other users and immediately i had to go for the kill!!

### "Norton Antivirus review"

August 24, 2021

4.0

Pros

Norton AntiVirus delivers advanced virus protection, ransomware and other computer threats I have probably not heard of. Additionally, it gives real-time security for websites you browse and files you download in addition to the software currently on your device.

Cons

The software consumes a large number of resources and significantly slows down my machine. Also, I'm not too fond of the continuous up-sell efforts Norton sent to my email and that are popping up on the software, every-time i am opening the software.

### "Best antivirus software so far! "

April 1, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love that this software really does protect my computers and devices from viruses and anything that tries to attack my devices. It immediately eliminates them if they do get through but most the time there is no way it will let them through.

Cons

Of course the price can always be better on these kind of softwares but viruses can cause you way more of a hassle and you’d end up losing more money so the fact that I don’t ever have to worry about these kinds of things is worth the money!

### "Better old than new?"

October 26, 2021

4.0

Its popularity was one of the reasons I learned about this antivirus, it has protected me against malware, ransomware and cyber attacks. The price is among the market average; I trust it a lot and have been renewing the license for some time now. On the other hand, I think there are other alternatives that I may have to try because I think the market has become very competitive and more attractive options are emerging.

Pros

I have been using this brand of antivirus for a long time and it is one of the best I have tried; it offers antivirus scanning and online protection, it also detects websites with intrusive content. The effectiveness of its alerts is another plus, it also checks and disinfects all downloaded files. It is very powerful, intuitive and its administration is the simplest thing.

Cons

So far I have not had any problems with Norton; all the features I have tried have been good and the fact that I have it on my computer makes me feel safe.

### "Norton Antivirus Usage Review"

July 27, 2022

3.0

I've been using Norton AntiVirus for years and I can't imagine using anything else. It's the best antivirus on the market and it's so easy to use. I love that it doesn't slow down my computer like other antiviruses do. - Zaman

Pros

I work in IT and I can tell you from experience that Norton AntiVirus is a great antivirus. It's not too intrusive, runs in the background, and doesn't hog your system resources. I've been using it for years and never had a single issue. Great antivirus! - Zaman

Cons

I downloaded the latest Norton AntiVirus software to my computer and the first thing I noticed is that it was super simple to install. The installation took literally one click and didn't overwhelm me with a bunch of options I didn't understand. It runs really smoothly, so it's not slowing down my computer at all. I just hope that the ransomware protection would become more effective in the latest update. - Zaman

### "A powerful antivirus that protects my computer at all times."

July 23, 2018

5.0

Since I am using Norton on my mobile device and on my personal computer, I can see that it is faster and more protected. I feel more tranquility and security when downloading files because I am confident that the files are reviewed very thoroughly by Norton before downloading them, minimizing the risk to almost zero of infecting my devices with a virus. I really recommend it extensively, after trying some trial versions I stayed with Norton because I gave myself the greatest amount of confidence and the price of the basic package is not as high as others.

Pros

It has a support for all kinds of devices either PC, tablets and smartphones. To provide extra protection on the Internet, Norton goes a step further because it can be added to the Facebook to detect unsafe site links. It also makes a diagnosis prior to downloads to avoid websites that have a bad reputation. Something interesting that they have added is the possibility of creating a community of users who provide information about possible new threats and thus keep our devices more protected always.

Cons

It is a very robust program, the only negative point is that only the premiun version gives 25gb of space in the cloud to upload files, the other plans do not have this option but the price-quality ratio is spectacular. Meets my expectations and much more.

### "A robust solution to all antivirus needs"

July 22, 2019

5.0

Norton Security has been working perfectly for our organization and there have been no glitches so far. We especially acknowledge that Norton has delivered a great product that can be used on all our systems and devices, and has no compatibility issues.

Pros

Norton Security is a great software option for those who require ongoing antivirus solutions, one that is available on several platforms. The protection from viruses and malware is commendable, and the software does it all without any substantial impact on the system performance. I have seen anti-virus software that slows down the performance of the computer during a scan is going on, but Norton is way ahead of these minute details that bother me especially during crunch hours. I love that there is quite a bit of space available online for back-ups as well.

Cons

Well, it is definitely better than my previous anti-virus which used to hinder the progress of my work due to constant system slow-downs. Norton Security is great, however, it does little to block pop-ups on the web browser. Also, it is on the pricey side, though large organizations might be alright with that.

### "Norton is one of the most popular malware protection programs"

July 5, 2018

4.0

I used norton on my personal pc for years and, i had a very good experience since I never had problems with infection by computer viruses

Pros

Norton protects your computer from malicious code without slowing down or hindering its operations, with low consumption of resources. It has a friendly and easy to use interface. It also has the useful tools of Norton System Works (such as WinDoctor, DiskDoctor, SpeedDisk, GoBack, Ghost, etc.). It makes analysis faster and less frequent, intelligent technology identifies and analyzes only files at risk and recognizes applications that should not block or analyze.

Cons

Little or almost no compatibility with the Windows XP firewall. Confusing customer service via phone or online chat. Poor performance against spyware and other threats and regular blocking of incoming scripts. The first scan of the computer is very slow and the uninstallation process is somewhat difficult.

### "Norton Security Review"

June 17, 2020

5.0

The main benefit of Norton Security is protection. In this day and age of identity theft, hacking, phishing, etc. I have always wanted to feel secure. I have used other companies before this and did not like what was offered. For the price and efficiency of this software i would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to keep themselves safe while online!

Pros

Simply put I love Norton Security. I have used it for as long as I can remember and feel less vulnerable with it. I am not overly paranoid about hacking and malware, but feel that with this software running I am protected to a high degree. I am quickly flagged via a message on my laptop if there is an issue that needs to be reviewed or addressed. I keep this running in the background 24/7.

Cons

I don't think there is anything negative I can say about this in my tenure of use. The price is very fair and in the package I purchased I can load on other devices my family uses as well to protect them.

### "So far, so good!"

October 15, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with Norton Security has been positive. It's definitely more expensive than some other security software but, in my opinion, you get what you pay for. They stay up to date with as many current threats as possible. My machines have been well protected and I've never had an issue. Knock on wood!

Pros

What I like most about Norton Security is that most things can be automated so that you can set them up to protect your machine, daily, and then forget about it. It will run in the background at regular intervals while you're getting things done and generally doesn't interrupt anything, unless your computer needs a restart for a particular patch or update.

Cons

What I like least about this software is there are often popups or alerts trying to get me to upgrade or purchase add-ons. I'd like the option to upgrade, perhaps, at a future point. But I don't want to get a popup every single time I power up my computer or open my browser.

### "Norton Security"

December 3, 2019

5.0

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this security software. Originally, I used to use Kaspersky, long time ago and I switched to Norton and have been using and renewing Norton ever since. I use it on my mobile devices as well.

Pros

Norton Security is my primary security software on all devices including mobile devices. I like the fact that I can buy one multi-device license and use it on all of my devices. Norton security is also very good at preventing malicious software/apps from installing on my devices. The history of intrusions is very detailed and I like the flexibility to be able to restore some false positive files. I like Norton community watch which enhances threat detections. I also like the family report emails I get.

Cons

I don't like the fact that sometimes Norton security uses too much cpu and disk. When my PC is idle, Norton security run idle tasks, but I was not able to figure out what tasks it runs and disable them. Also when using the built-in cleaner tool, Norton security starts cleaning right way without showing what items it detected or identified to clean/remove from my PC. Customizing the rules are somewhat complex although Norton security for the most part automatically sets up rules for apps I install.

### "Keeps Things Running, Nice Optional Features"

March 17, 2019

5.0

Have had only one minor virus issue, so it seems to be doing its job. Advertising and auto-renewal are tedious.

Pros

In the 9+ years that I have used this product, I've only had one minor virus issue which I was able to fix. I haven't had any other virus issues that I am aware of while using this product. I like some of the optional web search and safety features. Pricing is reasonable and covers up to 5 devices.

Cons

The software uses my Norton dashboard to advertise their identity protection services and other additional services that I do not need. You can turn this off in settings but it seems a bit cheesy to be advertised to on a software I purchased. Then again that is becoming the norm these days. Also their auto-renewal program is a but pushy and your price will go up each year if you allow auto-renewal rather than going to the site and getting the best deal on the year's subscription.

### "Norton Antivirus is the Best Defense Against Online Threats"

March 30, 2022

5.0

Norton Antivirus has also protected me from internet wire fraud as it prevented me from filling in my personal detail on an unsuspected site demanding my personal account detail.

Pros

I almost lost most of my files on the first Windows desktop computer in my office but I could save some important documents due to the complete scan run on it with Norton Antivirus by our IT guy. I have always been getting warnings and notifications about some harmful websites I visit. This is especially helpful as I might not know all the websites that are potentially harmful. I also allow the antivirus to run any flash drive inserted in any of my personal computers before opening any file.

Cons

I feel that the upgrade system can be made more automatic and seamless than the constant advertising reminders on the available updates of the product. There should also be an extension of the service of the antivirus beyond the expiry date.

### "Very easy to use for basic protection malware"

July 18, 2018

4.0

protection every day, any time for a reasonable price

Pros

If you don't have much knowledge about how to use an antivirus or dont know another brand, or you are using it for your personal laptop or any device: this is the software for you. Its very simple to setup and install also has very clean design and the specifications are clear. You can supervise the status of the security of you device on the principal panel, how much you are protected, how long was your last analisis and backup security, or if the sofware needs any update, the days left on your license and how it is your computer efficiency

Cons

Something that has been a problem with this software is that it uses a higher percentage of RAM, hence it slows the computer. Even it sometimes slows down the start up. If you have an actively life on internet and always dowloading things I recommend other strong program.

### "My Norton antivirus review"

June 30, 2022

5.0

It has been very helpful in preventing ransomware attacks on my files and stores them in the Cloud. I can easily retrieve them for use whenever I want. Also, it takes up lesser space for installation when compared to some other Antivirus softwares. That being said, Norton Antivirus for me remains the best I have used as it gives me value for money spent

Pros

I like mostly that it regularly and consistently updates its malware directory, which makes it identify more recent malwares. It's features are user friendly which makes it very adaptable for use in my office

Cons

The desktop app is a bit old fashioned and not stylish. Also, would love if the scanning speed i improved upon so as to effectively detect all malwares.

### "Best way to keep your PC protected and backed up"

April 9, 2020

5.0

I have experienced peace of mind with Norton. I know my computer is safe from malware and viruses. Also the reminders I receive to back up my files really helps. Norton got me out of a tight spot when my computer got a virus. It was about to snuff it out before it ever became an issue.

Pros

What I like most about Norton is the ease of use. When you open the app of your PC it gives you 4 option- Security, Internet security, Backup and performance. All are displayed largely and clear. You can click on any of the option and it will give you a small selection of items to chose from. Honestly, its hard to get lost. Everything is laid out so well. The option to create a back up has saved me many times, from deleted a file or recovering years of book-keeping. I love the auto scans it preforms to keep my PC safe, clean and fast.

Cons

The one thing I don't like about Norton is the build in ads that pop up on you notification screen unexpectedly. They are always offering products and reminders which get annoying. Also, the first time I tried to log in to my account it was a hassle. I had all the right info but I had to enter the same info 3x before I was taken to the page I was looking for.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

I had heard many great things about norton and knew I could trust it.

### "An excellent malware detection security product for the rest of us"

August 24, 2022

5.0

Overall, I like the product but I find that I have to fine-tune the settings to prevent it from being overbearing.

Pros

It's a very mature product with a lot of great features. It's support team is really excellent in addressing potential problems.

Cons

It can be overkill sometimes. Besides the main security features, it adds a lot of other ones that are not really needed by most people.

Reason for choosing Norton AntiVirus

I have a long history with the product and it serves my PC security needs.
