Norton 360 Premium 2023, Antivirus software for 10 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring [Key card]

I have been using Norton for over 20 years without issue. They continue to innovate and bring new features to their products, many times without cost increase. They have been reliable and for the most part have required little user interaction to work. Sure, there are all kinds of settings you can tweak but I find that for me it works pretty much right out of the box (so to speak). I run the scans at regular intervals and follow other prompts when directed but beyond that it just runs in the background. I use the password manager feature and safe web browser extensions regularly as well as Life Lock. I also use the android version on my phone and tablet because I just know it works. As good as the product has been though I do have a minor complaint. I could do without many of the notifications I get on my computer. These are not product related notifications. Many are company notifications or notifications with an attempt to upsell me to a product I do not need or want. You have a right to send an email if I agreed and signed up for it however sending unsolicited notifications just because I purchased your software can drive away customers and is not a good company practice. Luckily, the number of notifications to this point has been small yet still enough to warrant this response. On the note of shady business practices is a larger complaint that I have with this company and that is with their autorenewal service. By purchasing and installing the software you agree to an autorenewal policy. That really shouldnt be a big deal but here is where it gets shady. First, they want to charge your credit card over a month in advance of your renewal date. Of course, they notify you of the impending charge but 6 weeks before it is due, seriously. Another big thing with autorenewal is the cost. If you dont cancel it, they will charge you MSRP (that is suggested retail price not actual retail price) which at this time was around $106. $106 for an item selling for $20 to $30. Of course, as soon as you cancel autorenewal they hit you with an offer to renew at the much lower price. How about you stick what you would like to charge and just charge me what it is currently selling for at the time and do it one week before the due date not 6 weeks. Again, I really like the product and its features I could just do without yet another company trying to take advantage. I run your software to try and keep from being ripped off not just to allow you to do it. I now relinquish the soapbox.

After installing the product, the internet stopped responding quickly. The connection is hanging while Norton is doing something. When I turned it off, the internet begins connecting. I had expected that the antivirus/VPN/malware protector would run silently without interfering with the performance of your computer. It does not seemed to be the case because by the time it connects to VPN-Internet-Wi-Fi [I personally do not know the sequence of how it is getting connected] you should be ready to give birth. Also, live updates connected to Wi-Fi on the phone too. Thus, if you are not connected to Wi-Fi, you are not getting updates. I loved Norton before. Now, I have serious doubts about the performance & quality. It might improve with updates, but not it is a struggle based upon my experience.

Platform For Display: Key Card [12 Month, with Auto-Renewal]Edition: 10 Device When I installed the CODE for this item, it popped up that it could NOT BE DOWN LOADED. It gave me a PHONE NUMBER to call. When the person answered he said he was NORTON SECURITY AND I HAD A Virus!! Since it was a NORTON PRODUCT I TRUSTED him. He got access to my computer and was searching ALL MY ACCOUNTS! Luckily I had a GUT FEELING this was a SCAM, so I shut my computer off and proceeded to buy a new computer and change ALL MY ACCOUNTS and PASSWORDS. Do NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE. I am reporting it to Amazon Fraud Dept. and see if I can my money refunded.

I try to stick with Norton for one distinctive function...backups. I am ensured that I have a good backup if needed. However, It is very annoying that Norton will try and force you into auto renewal.

Ive used Norton in some form or another for over 15 years. It seems to get more and more complicated to activate a new subscription every year. This year was the worst yet. Youd think you could just provide the new product key and it would be applied to your existing devices. That would be too easy. What a f*****g pain in the butt. Thankfully I was finally able to add my 2 computers and 5 android devices (I had to remove every device then add them back one at a time ... WTF ???). Norton used to provide internet security - thats what I buy it for. Not all this other crap that I never use. Too many ads. Too many pop ups. Too many gyrations to unsubscribe from the mandatory auto-renewal. Too much aggravation. No more. Im done.

Ive been using Norton as my anti-virus and internet intrusion protection for a long as I can remember. This year again I bought a new copy of Norton from Amazon instead of renewing directly through Norton. It was a little less expensive. The installation on a Windows 10 PC and a Macbook Air laptop went as smoothly as possible. Some people have reported activation problems when they download the program from Amazon. I did not download from Amazon; I ordered the version where Amazon sends you the Norton retail package (which really is just a folder with the product key inside) so I cant address considerations with the version downloaded from Amazon. For me Norton is still the leader and a safe way to go.

It slows down your computer so that was a huge negative for me. Although I LOVE the Norton vault to store my passwords and love the VPN function and LOVE THAT my pc has auto cloud backup based on my set schedule, I just dont find enough value because of the slower performance, thats my tipping point. I cant/wont use software/program that is going to slow me down as much as Norton has in recent years. I think I will stick to the free AVG download for future.. The price for 5 users on Norton is NOT BAD AT ALL but I am not wiling to sacrifice performance for that.

Turn off Auto renew! Had a charge for $114 on my Credit card, bought for $24.99

always used norton 360 does what it says

Norton is a good product and a good value when purchased from Amazon. However, you still have to put in a payment option, even though you have already paid Amazon. I know you can turn off auto renew, but still you should not have to put in a credit card, when you have already paid.
