Norton 360 21.0 - 3 Computers, 1 Year (PC) 2014

Although still bloated and resource hungry software, Norton runs unobtrusively in the background and it will do on any modern PC or laptop given the processing power and memory they now possess. It's easily the best commercial protection available, provides first class protection and has never once let me down.

In addition to AV, Firewall and ID Protection, Norton 360 also offer a Tuneup suite that runs a few basic PC optimization tasks (clear browsing history, delete temporary files, etc.) and a Backup facility. The Backup facility can either backup files between your own disk drives or back up in Norton's cloud storage. You get 2GB of free cloud storage and you can buy an annual subscription for further cloud storage (up to 50GB for �89.99) should you require it. The Backup suite is let down by the fact that you have to exclude files and folders instead of include them if you elect not to backup the complete contents of a drive. Cloud backup is not cheap compared with other providers and the 2GB of free storage is much less than that offered by competitors (it's also worth remembering that you get 5GB of free storage with Amazon Cloud Drive (not to be confused with Amazon Cloud Player)). If you don't need the Tuneup or Backup suites, I'd suggest buying the less expensive Norton Internet Security 21.0 that doesn't include them.

It's worth shopping around. At the time of writing, the download copy of ...Norton 360 21.0 is cheaper and it's exactly the same as this with the only difference being that you have to download and install it instead of installing it from a disc and it's delivered in the time it takes to download it. **Beware of auto-renewing your subscription online with Norton - you could be charged well in excess of the cost of buying a copy from Amazon. Norton quite often employ the widespread tactic of 'rewarding' their existing customers by charging them over the odds when it comes to renewing** Read more ›

To say the same as other reviewers would not be very productive, but I do need to reiterate a few points that I have found over the 8 or 9 years I have used Norton for. 1. yes Norton is a little hungry on memory, but not as much as it use to be and it has run on every machine I have had without problem. 2. To renew with Norton is a definite no no. As another reviewer has said, it will cost you twice as much to renew the license via the Symantec renewal procedure as it does to purchase a completely new version from Amazon, why it is so much cheaper to purchase new I will never understand, but that's how it is, all you need to do is input the new license code and its up to date, that is as long as it is the same version ie 360 and you have updated your old version first. 3. Yes Norton is probably on of the best AV/Firewalls on the market, and will keep you safe plus it also provides you with an online backup service that also safely stores all your log on passwords and it will automatically fill them in for you when you go to a website when you use the "Password Vault", believe me I would be lost without it. Set up your online account, if you are a new user and everything is straight forward after that, there is online help at the click of a button, it will auto check for any faults that might arise in the program to make sure all is as it should be. A very good bit of software, but remember it can only be as good as the user lets it be, when you click "yes" to download and ignore any warnings that Norton gives then the problem is yours because you have bypassed any protection. To finish all I can say is that Norton is updated online, if you have problems and need to re install, that is done online via "My Account" so you can take the label off the box use the disc as a coaster and put one of your favourite DVDs in the box. They also look quite nice all lined up on a shelf, useless but nice. I highly recommend this product.

I haven't change to any other Antivirus software since I started to use Norton 360. I trust this software only!

I have been using this for over five years and never had a problem or a virus - it's an excellent product. I'm always surprised to see all the negative comments about Norton generally, as I have not found this slow, intrusive or anything else. It does things quietly in the background - keeps you safe and up to date and has an excellent tuning section which scans the registry if you want to do this and it is surprising how much rubbish it cleans out when you have installed or uninstalled software.

Before using this I had lots of problems on my computer - I have been problem free for five years, and have even used this on a tiny 8gb netbook with 900mhz celeron processor and it is absolutely fine.

So if your mouse suddenly starts shooting around for some reason (a common issue) try running the registry scan and the problem will be solved - it will be some piece of junk that got left behind after installing or uninstalling software.

Highly recommended.

By far the most effective malware protecting- and maintenanceprogram. and that comes with almost unaffected computer-resources - speed and response-time is unaltered while Norton 360 is running tasks. :-D

have used norton anti virus on my computer for many years now and although it seems like norton aint for everyone i have been nothing but delighted with the product

I am absolutely fuming!

I have been a longtime user of Norton, and recently it was that time of year again where I was asked to renew my subscription.

No problem right? Wrong. 1 year renewal using their digital upgrade system was over �60. Disgusting price for the same software that cost me �25 the year before.

I looked around on Amazon and found the disc version was almost �35 cheaper... I thought the digital world was making products like this cheaper?!

So after a delightful call to their customer service, I simply decided to look at other anti-virus software.

I purchased AVG instead, and what a difference. 1 year and 3x uses - �20. After 1 month of use, the software itself is easier to use and works a treat.

I strongly recommend you don't put your hard earned cash into the pockets of this money hungry company! Absolute ripoff.
