  Norton 360 5.0 1-User/3PCs [Old Version]

  Software (Symantec)

  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

  This is the current edition

  When you receive this software you will notice on the top right corner of the box it will say March 1, 2011 and then underneath that it will say version 5.0. Perhaps this is referencing the red rectangular box above it that reads in White Letters PC Mag.com Editors Choice. Regardless, this is misleading, since on the front of the box it says Norton 360 v6 and this is the packaging for v6 2012 release. On the side of the box it will say copyright 2012, and the owners manual in .pdf will say copyright 2011. However this is the most current version 6.01 and I verified this with Norton. If you are not accostomed to using bundled software like this, you will be in for a very high tech experience. Not to be discouraged, you learn as you go, with a 500+ Page Manual in .pdf on the dvd and a much shorter quick start guide. I have just received this, and I am learning.

  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

  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.
