    I noticed that Norton charged me for a subscription although we have not used in years. I called the 877-297-5265 number and waited 32 MINUTES AND NO ONE ANSWERED. Then I called the 800-745-6034 and I am 10 minutes now and still no answer. If you download NORTON just be PREPARED TO NOT BE ABLE TO DISCONTINUE.

    I have had nothing but issue with their so called support (chat or phone) regardless of the issue (none of which I have received any help with). They know nothing and do nothing beyond their script (non answers). They will find any excuse to hang up and disconnect on you, but yet they will deny that as well. Nothing is ever their fault. They have no accountability at all. I had one level 2 person tell me unless they (Symantec) get a court order they can't be fired (his words) and it shows on how they treat their customers (you know us who pay for a service).

    Rather telling when a manager, supervisor or whoever more or less laugh in your face and do nothing. Any complaint is quickly ignored. Has one person tell me (with their obsession to do remote access, don't fall for this) that they can fix my issue by "looking for files" files that don't exist on my pc at all, really? Guess the dinosaur and alien who I "found" can fix anything as well? Rather ridiculous what they claim and how they fail to do anything. I'm sure there may be an exception or 2 but 95% at least you're basically talking to yourself.

    Updated on 05/23/2018: I am now being denied any help and or support. Get told "I'm not allowed to contact" them (Norton/Symantec). I paid for a service but being denied help for paid service. They don't seem to have any accountability at all and make any excuse to do nothing. Nothing is ever their fault. These same "techs" (oxymoron) who can't or won't answer a simple question have an obsession with remote access (only a fool would allow that) to fix something they know nothing about. They only seem to know what's on their script. Oh and if you say "so" or "fix" or any other word they don't like at the moment it's "profanity" and an excuse used to refuse their help, really??? Should there not be actual "support" when you contact "Norton support"??? Seems they're just paid seat warmers. Rather disgraceful how they treat their users/customers.

    I really do hate Norton. Their product is good. Their business model is crooked and intentionally deceptive and penny pinching when it comes to the customer. Even though their current price for the equivalent product is 49.99, Norton automatically charged my credit card $129.99 for a renewal. When I called them to complain, they promised a refund and 10 days later, no refund. Since I am reading here that people are not receiving their refunds 30 days down the line, I'm sure I can expect to continue to be disappointed.

    Also, they sold me the new product for $49 but did not add the extra 22 days still left on my old subscription. So they rip you off for a month of coverage also. When I told them over and over I don't want anything beyond the $49 coverage, they attempted to upsell me many times along the way as I was handed off to salespeople. This is a disgusting company with a disgusting business model now based on milking every penny from the customer. If anybody is interested in a class action suit, I am in. I really do hate Norton. Their product is good. Their business model is crooked and intentionally deceptive and penny pinching when it comes to the customer.

    I have been using Norton Security for a long, long time. I also previously used it years ago when it was called Norton Antivirus (when viruses were just called viruses, before the dawn of malware). I even used Norton Utilities way back in the days of DOS in the late 80s and 90s (when viruses only existed on programs you downloaded from dial-up bulletin boards). I do not recall ever having a serious virus infection while running Norton Security or Norton Antivirus. I have used Norton Security to successfully remove viruses off infected computers which did not have anti-virus software on them.

    I oversee many Windows PCs for myself, my family members and friends. I currently run or manage over 15 Windows PCs. Some of the PCs I work with are a little older, and will not run most of the current modern anti-virus offerings. Norton Security is an exception. Once installed, Norton Security is not very invasive to the overall PC operation. This allows Norton to work very well on older PCs, even on those with Pentium 4 CPUs.

    One thing that should be mentioned regarding running Norton (or any antivirus program) is: you need to run the "virus signature updates" before you start doing your main work on that day. This is because: when an antivirus program does its updates, it may slow down your PC some, especially if it is older, or has a low power CPU. The same thing is true for running a virus scan on your PC. You should run your scans when you are not otherwise taxing the computer. Again, this logic applies to all antivirus software.

    When I use any Windows computer, I always monitor my CPU usage and RAM allocation. This is how I continuously verify that my computer is running well, and that I do not have too many processes running. I can positively confirm, from years and years of experience, that I know Norton does not adversely impact the CPU usage of older machines that do not have a lot of processing power. I always run Windows Task Manager or some other sort of CPU usage monitor, like Process Explorer, etc.

    I have used Norton Mobile Security for 15 months, but the last month has been problematic. In the latest release, they push very hard to get you to buy additional Norton products. The latest is the warning that your network has been compromised (in big red letters), and that you should try their VPN. (I was using a Hotspot Shield VPN so this option was not necessary.) I spent 2 days changing logins and security settings on my modem, to no avail. Finally, on their user forum yesterday, they admitted that this was the result of their overzealous software, and that the next release would correct this. I am switching to someone else (Bitdefender on my PC has been very good - if a bit intrusive).

    Updated on 03/31/2018: Norton responded, "We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience caused to you due to the potentially incorrect alerts from WiFi Security. We have released an update we believe should resolve this issue. Please update your app to the latest version 4.1.0.4063". My response: "...potentially incorrect alerts..."?? To quote the warning box, "An attacker is attempting to decrypt this network and may view and alter your communications." Does this sound like a "potential" threat?? It clearly says that my network is under attack. Yes, I have not seen this message since I updated the app, but I still lost time and had a lot of grief all because Norton wanted me to buy their VPN product."

    Norton was using an email address that is inactive and we didn't know existed to bill us automatically for over 12 years. When we realized we had been charged over a $1,000, we contacted them about this fraud or scam. So far they are unwilling to refund these charges. They will not give me the email address they were using to supposedly "notify" us, so obviously we got no notices for renewal. They will not provide the "supposed" computer that was being covered on renewal. They want me to log-in to an account that I am unaware of and cancel the auto renewal! I feel someone has hacked us over a security product and Norton is responsible for this fraud!

    I have asked repeatedly for account information which they have not provided. I have asked for complete refund, which we have not received. I have asked for a supervisor or someone in management to call us to explain all this, and no one has called. I am posting very negative review here for Norton products and their lack of professionalism. They have deceived and taken advantage of two senior citizens. Any suggestions for anyone to post critical remarks about their behavior? I don't know what an "order number" is for this because we didn't know it existed until this week.

    Updated on 04/26/2018: After over 2 months of trying to get Norton to refund our monies, they are still stalling and refusing to do the correct thing. How can you charge repeatedly for a product that was not being used, nor did we even know we were being charged for which were going to an inactive account, and Norton KNEW they were not being delivered or in service. Wrong and shameful. This is not a good business practice and this continued for over 12 years. There are extenuating circumstances here and Norton knows this but refuses to do the professional thing and fix this problem.

    First they will overcharge you if buy direct and then take your credit card details to catch up with you again 12 month later by overcharging you again by renewing your software without your knowledge. But then after you complain about that, your email address will be permanently blocked from entering your Norton account in order to purchase another and cheaper Norton antivirus program. This is very stupid behaviour from a big company like this one, as it helped me to move on to search for an alternative product which is not only better but also cheaper.

    I called and explained an issue that I had with Symantec taking a political position with other entities. The agent told me that Symantec was receiving a lot of feedback. I was told that when I received 'Norton Security Deluxe' by mail, I should call back with the Product Key and a return/refund would be processed. In the meantime I downloaded Kaspersky (previously, I had used Norton for 20+ years). When I called back with Product Key, which was verified by agent, I was told that the refund could not be issued.

    Symantec gave me incorrect information (which was recorded and noted on my Case #) and then backed down and didn't follow through with their promise to refund. There is clearly poor corporate leadership at Symantec, with regard to: 1. Customer Product Support - (inconsistent, unreliable), 2. The company's primary mission of providing excellent products and services to their customers - (leveraging the political agendas of a few corporate individuals onto their customer base is inappropriate and must be boycotted). I am not a member of the NRA. I have been a satisfied Norton/Symantec customer.

    Bought one year of coverage for multiple devices. After a Windows upgrade, had to bring in a computer tech to fix my work computer since Norton was interfering with my Office programs. (He recommended using a different virus program). At that point, I had already purchased "Core" for my home computer. Could not install, hours on customer service, not working, then finally asked to return it. Got refund. Then Norton terminated entire subscription at that point, including the year we had previously paid for, only 3 months into it. Now vulnerable to viruses on home computer. Called customer service. They denied we ever had a subscription outside of Core.

    Meanwhile I got other virus coverage since Norton left us hanging. Then I dug through e-mails for proof of subscription, found it, called customer service AGAIN and requested a refund for 3/4 of subscription. They agree to reinstate it, but no refund ("past 60 days"). Already found replacement virus protection, so we didn't want Norton reinstated. The supervisor then said he would take my refund request to the "escalation committee" (which was really a way to end the phone call and do nothing more). Horrible experience. We gave them multiple chances to make it right and they didn't. So much of my time wasted.

    Norton Antivirus is the best I've found. Their customer service is far above other systems I've tried. When I've had an issue, which I've had three in the past 11 years, their technical support team has either walked me through the process to fix the issue or with my permission, accessed my computer and clear the issue in a minimal amount of time. They're the "Top Dog" in my book. I use their service on all devices. None better!

    I have had a few issues but I have always been able to get the help I need from customer service. Always patient never condescending.

I also think they are a good value. Easy to see if I need to run a check. User friendly in my opinion.

I can manually run the update, and the status changes to "Up to date", but the updates are not occurring automatically.

    Within a week or so of running a manual update, my status will again be Not Protected.

At one point in the chat he told me that the live update issue was caused by my internet provider. I told him my internet provider was Spectrum (Charter) and I did not have any other problems with my internet. However, he assured me that my computer is safe from viruses.

    I did share with him that a tech from Dell computers (the company I purchased the computer from and have a paid subscription for tech assistance) did recently remove a virus and a ton of malware off of my computer when I contacted them with a problem I was having with Adobe. At that time, the Dell tech discovered the Norton was not up to date, which I saw for myself as the tech was doing remote assistance. When I told the Norton tech about this, he told me that Norton doesn't guarantee no viruses, just that they will help me remove any viruses free of charge.

There was NO other choice, (It's 60 miles to Walmart.) -- It doesn't matter, we have no way of activating the product. I WILL go back to Walmart and GET MY MONEY BACK. This is crap. I will buy a different product. I will NEVER buy Norton again. The only reason I bought it was I had Norton 20+ years ago and it worked. This is how companies change, now it's time for me to change -- products.

    I've used the Norton Security when it was packaged with a computer I bought or it was a free trial. It was download, click and install. Set it to automatic all update and scan periodically. No customer service interaction. Nothing too out of the ordinary, same as other options. It was easy to use and seemed to do a decent job of protecting me. However, the free version would be nice. I refuse to pay for anti-virus when there are Avast and AVG and Malwarebytes available for free. Norton is a respected name, so I'd definitely use if free.

    I had it installed by someone else. The Norton program really seems to make my computer run slow and shut down a bit, so I chose to use a different brand and had it out in my computer by somebody else. I like it much better than Norton and glad I switched. I don't like Norton personally. I can't use something that slows my computer down whatsoever and I don't recommend it. But if it didn't slow my computer down I believe it would have given me the protection I needed.

    I like that Norton is easy to use and offers functionality across operating systems and mobile device. It also offers various software depending on the consumers' needs. It's easy to install too. I like the dashboard for the program so it's easy to choose what you want to do and you can see how scans are progressing. However, the price for the software is a little high when you compare with other software providers. But I see Norton as a trusted anti-virus software program and have used it before.

    Norton Security has a professional layout and the software is very easy to use. The products does not have too many popups and can run seamlessly in the background. When the product was purchased, an email link was sent where it can be downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes. No further authentication was required like product key or logging in. Also, the link can also be forwarded for installation in other devices with the same procedure. However, it slows down computer (not too much though) and 50-80 dollars for anti-virus software can be deemed steep especially when there are free alternatives.

    Norton Antivirus is the best company when it comes to antivirus software. They are a good reliable company and they help protect your computer. It was already installed on my laptop so I was able to use a trial of it but I liked it so much that I bought it after the trial period expired. I like them a lot and I like it the way it is. I recommend it to everyone to protect your computer.

    Norton Security is easy to use and download. It is readily available for anyone to get and install. It is easily done by going to their site and agreeing to the terms and clicking a few buttons. It is made so that any person can do it. Norton does an OK job at keeping my computer safe and it is cheap if not free. But it is somewhat of a flaky program since it give me false alarms. It is slightly overrated and is just super popular among normal people who aren't very fluent with computers.

    When I first got my Norton antivirus software I really did enjoy it. I downloaded the software from the website. Then it automatically installed itself on my computer. Once it was installed, it automatically downloaded all of the necessary updates and ran a full virus scan on my computer. I hardly had to do anything and it was simple to use. Also, it regularly scanned my computer and kept itself updated and I never felt at risk when I first started using it. But I noticed that as my annual "subscription" to Norton Security was coming to an end, my computer was starting to act up. This seemed to be much more than a coincidence and very fishy. It honestly seemed like a way for them to get me to renew my subscription. I didn't cave in though, I am now using Avast.

    I like the fact that Norton Security is a name brand, it gets good reviews, it updates to keep current and can handle the toughest viruses. It is also worry free for the most part. But Norton as well as other antivirus software can be intrusive. It can slow the computer down some and if you cancel they will constantly bug you. It is not foolproof so there is that odd chance of it not working properly. Antivirus can also block things you may not need blocked. But Norton is easy to use. You just need to install it through a disk or online and it will take you step by step to set it up properly. It takes a little bit of time to register it and adjust it to fit your needs. I did not encounter any problems I could not figure out myself but it is good to know that customer service have your back if you need assistance.

    Norton Antivirus is easy to use with a clear interface and helpful website. Doing a scan is easy and there are options for quick scans as well as deeper scans which require more time. In the past I have found Norton to be a bit too slow and makes the computer sluggish. I would appreciate options to install a full package and perhaps a more basic version if the computer is slowed down by the software as long as it is still able to scan and protect my data. Other than that, the Norton Antivirus is easy to install and I did not need customer support as the process was quite self-explanatory. Once installed it is able to do an immediate scan.

    It is easy to use, my family bought a disk set and just installed it into our computers. Naturally, it takes a couple minutes to load but it is a quick click set up and we didn't even need to call customer service. It's slightly pricey but worth it. Also, the software has a tendency to pop up quite often for notifications of updates or when my subscription is ending. But it is guaranteed to protect your computers and catches even the tiniest viruses. When there is a safety issue when browsing the web, the software will provide a warning and describe the types of risks your computer is at.

    When I was in college my father purchased Norton Antivirus for my laptop. The first version was very slow. There were too many pop ups due to home use. But whenever I upgraded to the newer version it speed up a bit. Installing the program was easy. First you download the Norton remove and reinstall tool. Next you go to the download window and read through the license agreement that comes up. Then you will click agree. Next click on remove and reinstall, continue or remove, and finally restart your computer. Norton is somewhat obsolete though as compared to other antivirus systems and a lot slower than some other systems I have tried. Otherwise, would recommend Norton to others.

    Norton Antivirus includes deep scan for viruses, trojans, and malware. Also includes a firewall and recycling bin cleaning. However, it can be a bit intrusive on your system, and difficult to uninstall if you wish to do so. I think this might be troublesome for less savvy users. Also it can be a bit pricey. Nevertheless, it is simple to install, but it can be time-consuming. I typically update the software annually. I have no need to contact customer service and I find it very easy to use.

Its great graphics keep getting better but in a security software a lot of times it's unnecessary. I don't like the amount of resources it uses at times.

    Buy it, download and install. Not too difficult, a bit slow to load but alright. But not quite as advertised, supposed to be lightning fast etc, but not my experience at all. It slows down my computer and too much advertising comes with it with no way to stop the ads from coming. Also when I used the backup it takes forever to load what is saved back into the computer and customer service says it is my fault, pretty poor. Overall it is ok, but I do not use anymore, too ponderous and costs more than it is worth.

    Norton Security was pretty straightforward with the instructions but you have to remember to allow the changes to happen or otherwise you risk the chance of not having the software downloaded. Corrupted installations are also a risk that you can run into while downloading. I'm not too savvy on the technical lingo, but I enjoy the pop-up block features as well as scanning suspicious material before downloading and these are top features I tend to look for when I'm looking for antivirus software. Norton is rather popular as well. However, some websites need to marked as safe or they will not be shown and the user has to keep in mind to make sure that their websites aren't blocked as well.

    The installation was a bit tedious, the entire process. I have to download and go through all the steps. It took too much time, I had to wait for it all to happen before I could do anything else on my computer. But it protects my computer, it cleans up my drive and ensures that I am safe. It also alerts me when I need to do a run through again to make sure it's ready. But I have to manually clean up the Trojans, etc. I wish it was more independent. I'd like to not have to worry about what's going on in the background.

I don't really have to think about it that much and it gives me reminders when I need them. It’s very easy to use and I like that it keeps my computer virus free and doesn't have annoying updates all the time that I have to stop what I am doing. It also lets me choose a time for updates, so it is very convenient. But I would change the software so it could be more personalized and have it do updates or sweeps at more personalized times. Or I wish it could do these things while I was not actively using my computer, so it did not interrupt whatever I was trying to do at the moment.

It's quick to give options on how to fix or ways to come to some sort of solution to the issue your device is having at the time.
