    All results can be found on these two websites that have done some extensive testing of Norton 360. I have to say I am very impressed with the version of Norton Security, there are plenty of deals out there, so do your research, but it seems Norton is back with a awesome antivirus.

    The classic Norton lol. I remember when I used to use this back on my old Laptops from 200X. Over the years I have moved from Norton to Avira to Webroot to Panda to Avast To Microsoft Security Essentials and Finally the Antivirus I run today which is ESET/Nod 32. I also run a combination with Malwarebytes alongside it.

    Hello Brian,
    Norton is the nuts, kept me safe for 8 years. I'm now on Kaspersky because new subscribers get it for 24 squids but existing subs get to enjoy a bill for just shy of 90 squids.
    I have no probs in paying for things but I do object being mugged. At least Dick Terpin wore a mask.

    Have had Norton for about 15 years now. I never had a single problem. I just bought the Norton 360 Premium on Amazon as it is quite cheaper then direct from Norton This is my first year that I will have to enter a credit card number. As most I don't like the idea of automatic renewal, but they say you can turn it off. Just a little hard to get to it in your account. In the past I never had to uninstall my older or expired Norton as the new install did all the work. Do you now have to uninstall your older Norton before you install new Norton 360. I've heard some have had problems. Also can you use norton with Malwarebytes? I have always had both. Thanks Britec09 for all your videos.

    I have an annual paid subscription to Norton 360. I, as you like, the features of Norton 360. However I am very frustrated at being unable to "Permanently" disable the auto scan function which uses up to 20% of my CPU's resources during each auto scan. Here's a link that I sent to the Norton support community: forums/how-permanently-disable-auto-scan "
    The link is self explanatory. Do you know of any work around that I could use to stop the maddening auto scan "feature". Thanks

    Norton is actually one of the best antiviruses on the market. The only problem with it is it's reputation. People couldn't stop hating on Norton, because it was bad back 10 years ago and because of its misleading practices, but times have changed. You know people learn from their mistakes and seems like Symantec has done much about its improvement unlike other vendors.

      A few years back, I had Norton active. Then bought a physical 12 month Norton 360 box from shelf in a store as it was sold very cheap. My norton was auto renewed which I had forgotten to cancel (my own fault). I called Norton and got a refund from the auto renewal and then added the code from the one I bought from the shelf in a store much cheaper. No issue to get refunded. That was at least my experience that time I wanted a refund. I agree that the auto renewal should be switched off by default rather than on. Just like all the spy stuff data collection in Windows 10 should be off by deafult rather than on. My experience with Norton over at least 2 decades has been awesome. Even back on my windows XP, or Vista machines. Yes it did slow down my Vista a bit at times, but I rather be safer than maybe 2 seconds faster and infected. On my current machines I can't even notice any Norton slow down. Other programs like NZXT CAM that I need for my liquid cooler, or Corsair uitiliy for my mechanical RGB keyboard etc hogs way more resources than Norton does.

I called the company and after a lengthy conversation of their UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE I now have to uninstall it. It is ridiculous that I paid for the 1 year of it by ordering the install disc and waiting 3+ weeks to get it. I only wanted it so when I take my laptop somewhere I have protection. It came with McAfee and I should of just left it the way it was. I hated Norton from years ago because it just sucked but after seeing this vid thought they got better and gave them a shot!!!! But as usual for that company, THEY SUCK!!!

    The problem is with antivirus in Windows and third party ones especially it sticks it self at root, forever scanning the whole of the PC at all times, making it a really bad experience, computer wise. I use Windows 10 for gaming and I don't run any of the third party antivirus, as a lot of them have gotten on the band wagon of selling advertising. No antivirus is any good anyway, it's one of those taboos. You the user is the best antivirus keep your data safe.
