Norton 360 Deluxe 2023, Antivirus software for 5 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring [Key Card]

Ive been a Norton user for a long time, going back to Norton Utilities in the 1990s. Their product is excellent, but the new automatic renewal program is a scam. Two months before the renewal date I went into my Norton Account to turn off the automatic renewal, which I did. Two days later I went back to my Norton Account to verify that automatic renewal had been turned off. It was not. I turned it off again. On recheck it still was not turned off. I let it go, knowing that the credit card on file had been replaced with a new card and number. Sure enough, a month before the renewal date Symantec had tried and failed to charge my account. Every day since then I have received emails and pop-ups imploring me to update the credit card info so they could process the automatic renewal. Fat chance. My renewal date comes up in two weeks, and I fully expect to receive a fantastic renewal offer. Too late. I just now placed an order on Amazon for Bitdefender Total Defender which I will install as Norton expires. A very long relationship is about to end. Goodbye Norton by Symantec.

It is terrible that you can not use a product you paid for without providing them a credit card for future renewals at about 3 times the cost I piad. Product is great, but the credit card requirement is unacceptable.

Advantage - I like that Norton 360 Deluxe comes with a VPN built-in and the plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook and Firefox. Disadvantage - I am disappointed that they did not include a taskbar icon or start menu icon (both for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10) to activate / deactivate the Norton VPN; instead, you have to open MyNorton window to access the VPN. As a former senior computer hardware engineer who has also worked on multiple software projects over the years, this was an oversight that can easily be solved for Norton 360 Deluxe customers.

easy to install, good price

This is the best price for protection om your PC. I hate Macafee, Staples wanted 150 bucks just for 1 year software. Got it here 1st year free. Installed myself. but noticed something not right. You can call their customer support. and they will fix it correctly with no problems. I recommend calling them to help you set this up. The renewal is something like 100 or a little more after 1st year. Well worth the price. Staples tried to get me to get a 150 tech plan for 1 year and decided not to do. Works with up to 5 devices. Having your own virtual private network for 1 year would cost that alone. Highly recommend. But just wished noticed for that many devices. Have vpn on TV. Really only needed for device my main Pc. So make sure you pick right one. I made a mistake. Could of got for one device half this price.

What is not to like. It is easy to install, it snags malware when you happen across it, has added features over the years and it is easy to manage. Since malware is part of our day to day journey on the web, it is important to have a product that does the job before you make a mistake.... I have built every computer I have owned since approximately 1992, and Nortons has been my first line of defense for as long as I can remember. Note, I use others, like Malwarebytes etc. But my first line of defense is Nortons 360 antivirus.... Note I have no relationship with Norton other than I am a user of their software.

I keep an old XP machine around to run backups on my other computers. So when my renewal came up in July, I called tech support to make sure this product would still work on Windows XP because the information on their web site was confusing. I was told that XP was still supported with this product. When I asked how much longer, they wouldnt tell me. Now, less than two months after buying the product, I get an email from Norton saying that support for XP will be ended in early 2021. I can understand not updating the software, but they wont even supply updates to the virus definitions, even though Ive paid for a year of service.

Not to much trouble installing on the first computer, but the second one never could get it to download. Never have a problem with the CD disc. But they save money by making you download it. And couldnt care less after they have your money. With all the unresolved problems with norton anymore Im switching to a different company.

I do not know enough about Pros and Cons of various Security Suite programs but Norton products are always rated well and I feel confident it is doing a good job. I know it has stopped me a couple of times from visiting undesirable web pages. My biggest grip is how intrusive the notifications on pushing other Norton services as add-ons has become. I thought the 360 line was supposed to be all inclusive but Im constantly getting notifications to upgrade to other product add-ons such as a privacy monitor, etc that of course cost extra money. Makes me wonder if the 360 is really all that inclusive of a protection security suite as once stated. Makes me consider investigating product alternatives. The good news is that if you disable the auto renew function, you can purchase a product key online much cheaper than paying the product renewal costs but this too gets tiresome to do every year.

Ive been using this product for years, and so far it seems to be working to keep my computer safe...... hopefully!! It is cheaper than buying it directly from Norton.
