Norton 360 5 User Review
User Submitted Norton 360 5 User Reviews

Fianlly...
I have been a Norton user for years and have on occassion swithched to other providers. But when I read the reviews on N360, I had to try it and I have been impressed. Its memory usage is significantly less than prior versions and other providers and requires little or no attention from the user. I especially like the identity protection although I get frustrated when I log into a site that I have previously logged into and saved my information and it asks me again if I want to save the login information. I am not sure how effective the spam filter is as I just recently changed e-mail providers and am not getting any spam. The utilities are great, especially the disk cleanup.

Norton 360
I opted for this program instead of renewing with the Antivirus program due to some of the options offered with 360. The biggest problem I believe Norton needs to address is with the back-up issue that is built in, there should be a way to disable this option without having a "red X" displayed on your desktop> I belive Norton put programed it in this fashoin to sell back-up space on their website, which I feel stinks! The other option is to buy and endless supply of RW DVDs or twice as many RW CDs to back up on. Surprized that Norton pulled this shabby gimick.

Norton 360 Install nightmare
As my current Norton 360 subscription was expiring, I clicked on the link to upgrade (thinking this would be a quick solution...) The installation failed, and directed me to the web site where I printed instructions on how to proceed on a second attempt. It failed a second time. Now however my computer was without virus protection as it deleted the old version in the install. I went to Norton's Tech Support Chat and was told that I was number 55 in queue. Thirty five minutes later (now 11p.m. the technician stepped in and took control of my computer--failed again--twice. (these are long installs with restarts...) I asked him for a refund and he immediately transferred me to a second tech. He played in the registry and deleted all sorts of Symantic files and folders. His two attempts failed. I asked him for a refund, and he transferred me to the original technician. He tried once more then offered to download Norton Internet Security 2009. When asked if this were a price comprable product--he said that he would give me a two year version (The $79 I paid for the Norton 360 was far more than a 2-year IS2009 would have cost). The cheaper version wouldn't load either! He refunded my money and we ended our call at 2:30 a.m. (after a series of "this will just take 2 (or 15, or 30) minutes..." At the end I was worse off than when I started. My computer was without virus protection so I unplugged from the internet. I'll NEVER purchase another Symantec product!

DO NOT BUY! Worst Norton product ever!
I have been an avid Norton Symantec user for over 13 years. This is the worst product EVER. It slows your system down so much that I had to disable most of the features, which an average user will not know how to do.
My biggest complaint is that once the "virus update" expires.. it renders the entire software useless. I couldn't even go in and make simple changes to the settings, nothing to do with the virus update feature. PLUS A pop-up comes up everyday twice a day begging me to buy another year subscription. That is false. What they are really asking is that I buy the software again. Once a year is up .. you might as well throw it in the trash OR give it to someone else OR wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy.
I am not happy with it at all! I will never buy any anti-virus or internet security software from this company again. I have heard of complaints that it will crash your system the day it expires.
Uninstalling any Norton products are difficult and you should find a good article on the internet on how to do this. NOTE: You must uninstall any anti-virus software if you are installing a different brand.
