  Norton 360 5.0 Premier Version install flaw

  The products works.There are problems installing on a computer with a previous Norton version already installed. Norton makes installlation appear easy in their instructions, however, they don't tell you that you need to uninstall the previous version before installing the new version. So you follow the installation instruction provided in the box and it doesn't install. Then you call the Customer Service number in India and they tell you that you have to uninstall the earlier version before you can install the new version. To do that you must download Norton Uninstall, perform the uninstall and then you can install the new version. It took at least 45 minutes to do this.It is a flaw that could be avoided if the instructions were written properly and included the uninstall program with the new version. Once installed Norton 360 works fine.Hey Norton- fix the installation issue!!! 4/5 Ron-zoni "ron-zoni" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  I'm shocked Symantec has made a product this good.

  I tend to choose my antivirus on an annual basis and always mid year. This allows for a good combination of sale price to product life cycle ratio and there are plenty of reviews to check out. I decided to go with Norton 360 V5.0 Based on the reviews at PCMag.com. It rated the highest in almost every category. My personal experiences are that it installs quickly, uses very low resources and so far has done a terrific job. I get the best AV suite every year because my wife likes to face book and isn't very careful about the links she clicks on when she is searching for stuff. The less time momma spends being angry about her PC performance and the less time I have to spend fixing her computer the better. The program will run processes in the background based on available resources and will pop up a small non-intrusive message letting you know it is running those processes in the back ground. This is one of the most simple but nicest features I have seen an av company use their common... 5/5 jojo monkey boy "manard" (columbus, ohio United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Norton 360 v6.0

  I've been using this product for three years now, buying the newest release annually. It has replaced BitDefender on my PC, which had allowed a virus in and was unable to remove, even with their customer support. The Norton has run quietly and unnoticed in the background; doing what it is supposed to do. I'd buy it again, and Amazon's price is much better than I've found anyplace else. 5/5 D.

  Windows XP Killer !!!!

  I have used Norton for years and years but as soon as I upgraded to 360 Premium Edition my problems began. If you are runnig an older Operating System like Windows XP then downloading this product is the worst thing you can do. I immediately started having issues with error messages regarding missing DLLs from my long time (previously error free) programs like Corel Video Studio and even Microsoft Word. The problems expanded over the next few days and now my PC is unusable - although I can boot it up in Safe Mode so I can offload my important documents and spreadsheets. I had to buy a new HP Desktop (from Amazon - great price) but I am not going Norton 360. On a positive note I have to say that previous editions of Norton have saved me from numerous attacks and I am one of the few PCers among my colleagues who has never been hacked (thanks to Norton) but the combination of Windows XP and Norton 360 Version 6 Premier has been a real disaster for me. Don't be the next victim... 1/5 D. SIMON (New England) - See all my reviews, March 30, 2012

  Terrible product!

  I had been a loyal Norton customer for over 12 years. In the past I would have recommended their products. Not so with Norton 360 V2 or anything else. This product comes with a backup feature which allows you to put your files on a disk or online. I backed up my files using DVDs. When I tried to access the backup files, they would not open. Of course for security reasons, they were in some form of a Norton protected format. Nothing but Norton will open them and even the Norton program would not work! I exchanged numerous emails/chats with Norton tech support for over four (4) months, with no fix for the problem! I tried phone support, but it was far too costly and was as worthless as their chat and email services. From exchanging the numerous emails/chats, it was obvious to me that the tech support persons were just sending prewritten answers. They were not even reading most of my emails and sent many repeat 'solutions' that I had already told them did not work.

  The product seems good and I've been using Norton products for multiple years. Make sure to buy the new product each year for around 40-50 dollars. Make sure to set your account to No Automatic Renewal. The online renewal and automatic renewal sells the same package for around 80 dollars. When confronted with the price difference, customer support says it's important to buy direct online from Symantec to avoid the pirated versions, or versions that only have one good activation key left.

  Everything you need to care for your PC

  There protections of every kind you can think of and some they simply think of for you, with backup and optimize "defrag" and adjustments for every function. I would not want to run my PC without it. The only negative is they could make it cheaper, but when you take into account it installs on 3 PCs it weight out. everything you do is protected and backup can be turned off or set to any destination. It even can connect to the network if you want to get the latest protections before they officially come out for virtually any threat.

  Install problems corrupting drivers/registry

  My laptop was working great but my Norton antivirus subscription had expired so I purchased Norton 360 Premiere. After installing 360 my laptop refused to connect to the internet either wirelessly or via ethernet. I called Symantec support and they walked me through uninstalling 360. After uninstalling 360 the laptop would still not work. Symantec said it was a FiOS problem. I called Verizon and they walked me through some diagnostic tests (which they said Symantec should have done) and they concluded my registry and drivers were corrupted by the 360 software. Not their problem. Called back Symantec and their seemingly incompetent (would start to tell me to do one thing and then change their mind and have me do something different) support person had me delete all "norton" folders from my registry and restart. Still no access to internet. Symantec Says call verizon. Verizon now says that what Symantec did does not fix the registry and Verizon suggested I pay somebody like... 1/5 Janice E.

  Fast, Convenient & Best of All...Works where others Failed

  I've tried several anti-virus suites in the past year including McAffee and ZoneAlarm plus a few others...after getting a nasty computer virus that wrecked my hard-drive with one of the "other" well known products, I switched to this for a 30 day free trial then purchase at the end of the trial period. The purchase was easy, the transition seamless and the product by far the best I've used. Not only did it recognize the virus the others missed but it runs clean and fast in the background.Very easy to install, this has all the features I can really use without the junk I don't need. I can install on up to 3 computers...perfect for home office, laptop etc use and it comes with free online backup storage with more available for purchase should you need it.Automatic update feature is seamless and doesn't impact performance to any notable level. Comes equipped with the PC security suite, identity protection, automatic backup and PC tuneup in this premier edition... 5/5 javajunki "javajunki" - See all my reviews, April 23, 2009

  Less cluttered interface and fairly faster than 2011

  Norton woke-up in 2009/10 making the interface user-friendly and its signature updates running in the background making the software less resource-hogging. It's continuing the same trend this year (NIS2012) with a little less cluttered interface - meaning most features automated for the novice user, but you have to dig in deep to make advanced changes. It works well with Windows7 as well as Win XP if you care (I don't have Vista - so cannot comment about that).1. Installation: As in the recent versions of NIS, installation was a snap. It took under 2 minutes, but needed a restart. If you have existing license for NIS, download the update from support -> check for new version menu item from within NIS. You can update the license number from the disk later when your license is about to expire. In previous version(s), NIS overwrote existing license period if you upgraded from disk.

  NIS 2011 Was Better

  I bought this because the 1 year sub was up on 2011 and I was able to get 2012 for cheaper than sub for another year for the 2011 version.Install was easy but I don't see much of a difference in what 2012 offers than what 2011 had. There are a few things I don't like about 2012:1. It scans my system a lot slower.2. No option to totally turn off autoupdate like you could in 2011. Can turn off auto but pulse updates turn on then and gets greyed out so there is no way to have them both be off at the same time. I like to update it manually liked I did 2011 but can't now.3. No way to turn off quick scans like you could in 2011.4. Seems to load slower at start up when set to "aggresive" but 2011 started right away.5. When you click on settings or any of the options the software takes longer to respond. At first I didn't think I had clicked right and tried again but it took a few seconds to respond.

  The product seems good and I've been using Norton products for multiple years. Make sure to buy the new product each year for around 40-50 dollars. Make sure to set your account to No Automatic Renewal. The online renewal and automatic renewal sells the same package for around 80 dollars. When confronted with the price difference, customer support says it's important to buy direct online from Symantec to avoid the pirated versions, or versions that only have one good activation key left. I guess Amazon digital download doesn't meet their trustworthiness. 4/5 mark twain - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Everything you need to care for your PC

  There protections of every kind you can think of and some they simply think of for you, with backup and optimize "defrag" and adjustments for every function. I would not want to run my PC without it. The only negative is they could make it cheaper, but when you take into account it installs on 3 PCs it weight out. everything you do is protected and backup can be turned off or set to any destination. It even can connect to the network if you want to get the latest protections before they officially come out for virtually any threat. Hey you spend good money on your PC so why not take care of it right and protect it with Norton 360 (6.0 3 PCs). I could go on annd on but really you need this more than you know, and a trusted name in Norton helps. 5/5 Robert St Arnault - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  NORTON 360 V6

  I have had Norton 360 on all my computers for a few years now and have always felt safe and secure.The other night the computer was acting WEIRD so i ran some scans but Norton picked up nothing.I then ran Malewarebytes Anti malware and it picked a TROJAN>AGENT infection.It said restart to remove but it was still there.I called norton premium support for $89 and they worked on my computer for about 8 hours over the course of a couple of days.They claimed virus was gone but the computer was still acting strange.They also REMOVED my malewarebytes program claiming a conflict between the two programs.I reloaded it and scanned and sure enough the virus was still there but this time it removed it but the damage was already done to the registry and i had to wipe everything clean cause system restore would not work.They speak very bad English and i think i wasted my money on the premium support{they are located in India].I will continue to use the Norton software because i still think it is... 3/5 john m - See all my reviews This review is from: Norton 360 v.6 1User/3PC [Download] (Software Download) I have had Norton 360 on all my computers for a few years now and have always felt safe and secure.The other night the computer was acting WEIRD so i ran some scans but Norton picked up nothing.I then ran Malewarebytes Anti malware and it picked a TROJAN>AGENT infection.It said restart to remove but it was still there.I called norton premium support for $89 and they worked on my computer for about 8 hours over the course of a couple of days.They claimed virus was gone but the computer was still acting strange.They also REMOVED my malewarebytes program claiming a conflict between the two programs.I reloaded it and scanned and sure enough the virus was still there but this time it removed it but the damage was already done to the registry and i had to wipe everything clean cause system restore would not work.They speak very bad English and i think i wasted my money on the premium support{they are located in India].I will continue to use the Norton software because i still think it is...

  4-star product, 1-star support, tricky and expensive upgrade

  After running Norton 360 v4 for nearly a year across two Windows 7 PCs, I have been very satisfied with its performance and stability. I was looking forward to upgrading to v5, and extending my subscription.Functionally, Norton 360 v5 is very similar to v4 with a few additions:- improved SONAR protection (blocked 100% of virus/malware threats in Dennis Technology test)- updated Download Insight for even greater protection / scan of downloaded files- refined user interfaceFrom an effectiveness and performance perspective, I don't think you can get better than Norton 360 v5. It scans transparently in the background, with notification updates that show from the taskbar, without interrupting your work. Unlike other anti-virus software I'd used in the past, I didn't notice significant impact on my work when it's installed and running. When you download a file, the new Insight product will not only scan, but will let you know how many others have... 4/5 Paul Christensen "gadget geek" (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews, March 26, 2011

  Simple, Speedy, and Stalwart Security

  Norton 360 5.0 improves on version 4.0 by making it even faster, better looking, and taking up even less resources while retaining the same effectiveness. Installation is exceptionally fast and within a minute or two, Norton 360 is up and running. The interface could use some work, but overall, it is pretty nice. Important tasks are immediately in your face by hovering over four LARGE blocks. Scans are much faster than Microsoft Security Essentials, Panda, and McAfee. The add-ons are decent. Parental Controls are mediocre. It has a few nice tools that make online shopping easier and safer.Norton 360 contains many performance improvement tools such as Registry Cleanup, File Cleanup, and Disk Optimizer. Some are available by default in Windows though I have found Norton's to be more comprehensive and faster. Norton 360 is also very light on resources. It feels like it isn't even there!

  Norton 360 ends computer problems forever.

  Does Norton 360 live up to the hype? For me it does. I bought my first version of Norton 360 3 years ago. I had been using Zone Alarm, Zone Alarm is freeware and donations are accepted but not mandatory. Zone Alarm did not cut it for me. I kept getting emails from them about all these wonderful premium versions that I could buy. They pestered and pestered. With Zone Alarm it seems that it totally took over my computer. Also, my computer was getting slower and slower and no matter what solution I would try, eventually, my computer would slow down again very soon.About three years ago, a friend mentioned Norton 360 to me and I had recalled that a lot of techies did not care for Norton products and they had gotten a pretty bad rap from the tech community. I decided to give 360 a try. I visited one of my local electronics big box stores and picked up a CD ROM version of Norton 360. At the time I had a desktop from HP and a laptop from Toshiba. The CD ROM allows you to protect... 5/5 John J. Barlow "Hifijohnny" (Lansing, Michigan) - See all my reviews, April 4, 2011

  Excellent program but.....

  I have found the newer versions (2011-2012) of Norton Internet Security to be both highly effective at protecting my PC and absent of the cumbersome background programs that effected system performance. I am a fan and will continue to use it. The only change that is bad is that now when you add a new version it does not just add 365 days to whatever days you have remaining on your current protection so you just lose out on those days. That is not the way it has been in the past so wait until your current version is expiring to install the new code and activate it so you don't lose the last 50 days of your current protection like I did. 3/5 R.

  Much more reasonable through Amazon

  I've always trusted and used Norton Internet Security programs on my computers. The last few years I just had Symantic load the new program automatically each year. But, this year when they told me my virus protection would be expiring in 30 days, and then informed me that they just wanted to let me know my credit card would automatically be charged the 59.99 to renew. I thought to myself that was awfully expensive especially being that this year had been hard on my family financially, so I started looking around. Lo and behold I found the same virus protection software through Amazon for less than half the price. Thanks Amazon you've done it again! 5/5 thomas l mcdermott - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Still the best

  I have used Norton for years, in its various personas (anti-virus, Internet security, and 360). Generally I buy whatever is available for a good price on Black Friday. This year is was the Internet Security, but only for one computer. So I had to substitute the freebee, McAfee, on my second and third computers. I wish I had not. Should have just paid for the extra support.So for me, at least, Norton has always worked. I have never had a virus get through. The anti spam works, and my computers don't crash. McAfee, on the other hand, has not worked well and will be replaced. I highly recommend any Norton product, keeping in mind that smaller older computers should use the simplest product available (anti-virus), instead of the top product (360), so that the software doesn't make your computer lag much. 5/5 Victoria H.
