Norton 360 Premium, Antivirus software for 10 Devices with Auto-Renewal – Includes Advanced AI Scam Protection, VPN, Dark Web Monitoring & PC Cloud Backup [Key Card]

Bottom line, I like the Symantec/Norton malware protection I get from this product. I have been using it for a couple of decades now (in its various forms). When Norton decided to go to the "subscription" model, I was not amused, but as written in the FAQs, one can buy a new license here for much less than the automated renewal, but it comes with a minor cost: You have to install the new license, at least on one computer.Here is what I did:1) Waited to get a good deal on this SW around the Black Friday time frame (to be installed at the end of the year).2) Waited until 45 days before the old license was set to expire then went online to discontinue the automated subscription (I messed up last year and paid full price).3) Waited until the day the old subscription expired.4) Uninstalled Norton 365 on my main machine.5) Rebooted.6) Installed the latest North 365 (per the instructions) and used the new Key when prompted.7) Went into MyNorton to assign the new Key to my other machines.7a) Had to uninstall and reinstall the code on my smartphone in order to apply the new Key to it. This was the only minor issue I had.This renewed subscription is now running on all my computers and my one phone as expected!!! At the reduced cost! Piece of cake.

There are many brands of antivirus/security programs on the market but none have been around as long as Norton’s. I have use them all and I still run two more security programs at least once a month to be sure nothing is on my devices. The only one I keep running 24/7 is Norton’s 360 Premium. Also now own by LifeLock which is a top notch service. If you subscribe to LikeLock you get Norton’s for free. Otherwise this subscription is the best on the market covering ten devices including smart phones and pads. Outstanding for desktops and laptops. Does not huge memory or slow your computer. Runs lightning fast in computers with the newest chips. Protects you on the browser, too. Can be a password manager on your laptop. Runs in the background but encourage full scans at least once a month (I do weekly). Tech support is great. The first time you create an account at their website which allows you to easily download the program to any device and keeps track of which devices you are using. Also gives you reports on overall security. Easy to install and even uninstall if the need arises. The program is updated several times a day. If you leave your device running, will do automatically. Lots of notifications but not ads! The cost of this subscription is the lowest anywhere and is a bargain. This is my number one security program for over 20 years and I have tried them all or still use a few of them as a double check especially for malware and other unusual program flaws which can put you at risk. Avoid all software programs made in Russia or China. Just US made programs. This program is all you need to protect your devices and data. Do backup your data monthly. Can use a cloud service but I still backup to a hard drive monthly.

Seems to be pretty good. Have stuck with Norton for many years. It does come with a lot of pop ups wanting to sell you extra services, but I just ignore those. The protection is easy to understand. Just be sure you cancel the renewal or you will be shocked at the price!

Great price, 1/4 price of auto renew.

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.

Fast shipping. Product was as described and works as it should. Good Person to do business with in the future.

I have used Norton 360 for many years and find it easy to use and comprehensive in protecting my laptop and desktop. I like the fact that they also provide iCloud storage for my system backup. They also provide protection for my iPhone, iPad but I think these options are fairly new and have room to grow and get more robust.
