Norton is the ONLY Antivirus Program for me

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: For many years, I have been using Norton at home and at work. I have had other antivirus programs that were installed on computers that I purchased but have always replaced them with Norton.

Norton's coverage of my network is extremely thorough. It is extremely easy to install and more reliable than you would ever expect.

Cons:

I personally have never had any issues with Norton, so I do not see any cons at all.

5.0 last month New

Comments: Overall quite happy with it for my team, not as resource-intensive as it used to be, however the pop-ups are an annoyance.

Pros:

Great at protecting my computer from malware and viruses.

Pop-ups happen too often, too many advertisements for other services considering it's a paid program.

Fine for what it is, but partially made redundant by more modern and less bloated options

3.0 6 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Norton Anti-virus is that, whilst it was fine for detecting most viruses, it has not made up for it with the huge amount of resource it requires and the lack of features compared to other options out there. I was happy with the support however but did not use for longer than a year.

Pros:

I liked the ease of use for the Norton Anti-virus software, as well as the after-sales support when it comes to help with installing in multiple environments or a network of many machines, ensuring they are all secure whilst remaining a consistent connection.

Cons:

I do not like that Norton requires a lot more resource compared to other anti-virus softwares out there, it is also a bit dated, and there are other options which are cheaper and offer more features compared to Norton Anti-virus.

Norton Review

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Optimal success rate in detecting malicious files: Norton covers every potential attack source with thorough checks, real-time protection, and ransomware prevention. Scroll directly below to see the full test results.
Its additional features provide the highest levels of online protection: it includes 50GB of cloud storage, an advanced parental control tool, and a no-logs VPN tool. Click here to read my review of each feature.
Its installation steps are easy, and it provides dedicated applications for Windows, Android, Mac and iOS systems: its applications for computers are more comprehensive than its applications for mobile devices, yet all of them offer the highest levels of protection. See a full comparison of all the apps.
Friendly and highly efficient customer service staff working 24/7: can be contacted via live text or phone (email support is not available). Find out how easy it is to communicate with the customer service team.
Its price is a bit high: Norton 360 Deluxe's ​​subscription plan is worth the extra price for its advanced features, though even the cheapest subscription plan is fine. Scroll right below to see exactly what each package has to offer.

Pros:

Perhaps the most important aspect of any antivirus program is its ability to detect viruses. Norton Antivirus has very good virus detection rates, users who have Norton are generally pleased with its ability to detect and prevent viruses, and the software seems to be improving in this regard over time.

Cons:

A downside to Norton Antivirus is that a subscription fee must be paid to use the service. Many computers come with a free trial of Norton that lasts for 30 days or so, after which the user has to pay to continue the service. As there are many free antivirus programs with similar detection rates as Norton, the cost leads many users to look for free alternatives.

Best Economical Antivirus For Protecting Your Gadgets

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, my experience with the product is extremely good.

Pros:

Its real-time monitoring, secure browsing and 360-degree protection is the best part.

Cons:

VPN services are no longer available in our country, so it is a big minus for any anti-malware product, Removal of viruses sometimes tricky. Infact, the antivirus also blocked the installation of some third-party software's.
