Norton Security (For 5 Devices) with Norton Utilities (For 3 PCs) Bundle

I really like Norton 360 and have been using it for years. However, each time I buy a new package in the store, and put in the new code to extend the subscription, they always give me ONE YEAR of coverage exactly. This is done IN SPITE OF the fact that I have a month or two remaining on my subscription.This can be corrected by contacting them, which takes time and should not be required. They should AUTOMATICALLY extend the subscription by ADDING ONE YEAR to your current subscription, NOT just setting the new subscription at one year.This almost seems like a scam to me. Symantec should rise above this and fix it so it works right, without having to call them. Meanwhile, if you buy this product, note the number of days left on your subscription BEFORE installing it. Then contact symantec (norton) and insist on them giving back that number of days.Otherwise, I really like the product. I feel very comfortable with it, and they don't make a lot of changes to the user interface, so it's not a big learning curve going from last year's version to this year's. (Microsoft, you might want to pay attention here).Just remember: never install more than one antivirus product, or they will fight each other to the death!

I was tired of trying different products that did different things and often competed with each other when I asked my sis-in-law what products she recommended to protect her computers, manage backups and secure her identity. She has worked with computers for decades and proudly holds the title of Family Geek to this day. She gifted me with my first license for Norton 360 about 2008 and I have resubscribed ever since.The most important stuff that Norton 360 does is rarely noticeable. Every once in awhile, while surfing, I will get a heads up about a website known for malicious activity or told that a file I tried to download is corrupt. N360 runs regular scans to check for viruses and infections or to let me know when it is time to take some additional action to tune up for performance. My favorite and most used feature is the Identity Safe, which does exactly what Norton says: "remembers, secures, and automatically enters your usernames and passwords for you, so they can't be lost or stolen."One trick that I learned (that at least one other person here has shared) is do not set up your account to automatically renew. I have a Google alert set up to let me know when Amazon and other retailers have it on sale. I have easily saved as much as 75% compared to what Norton would have charged me to auto-renew. You can even buy a couple at a time because the key codes stack.After years of concerns about our home PCs getting hacked, infected or whatever, it has been great to really not think of it much at all.

I have used Norton 360 for years . This year thought I would add it to I Pad and I Phone as well as my Windows PC's so I upgraded to the Multi Device unit. Alas, I found two things. First having bought from Amazon and installed they shorted me the rest of my old subscription (some 19 days). However I called and they added those back saying in future if I change from one product to another to call them first and they will see to the adjustment. Or I can wait until last day or expiration and do it then. As for IOS products like I Phone and I Pad they apparently have their own security built in so this is not needed. The features Norton adds were not very useful for me. Do not have android device but if I did apparently this is useful on those devices. As for Kindle this does not work with that. I do not know if Kindle like Apple has built in protection, hope so. Next year I will go back to the three device product as I likely will not need the five devices since not useful for Apple or Kindle.

I've used Norton many years ago to protect my PCs, however, it became notoriuos as a system hog. It took up way too much of a PCs RAM and resources, causing PCs to run very slow and sluggish. Last year I read reviews about the new version, and all of them stated that Norton is no longer such a system hog. I can attest that this IS, in fact, true. I purchased the 2013 and 2014 versions and I don't even notice that it's running in the background. One of my laptops has 8gb RAM and a quad-core, i7 processor, so it probably wouldn't get very bogged down either way. However, I do have some older PCs and laptops with only 4gb RAM, and dual-core processors, and it still works very smoothly on those machines. It does not affect or slow down my web surfing, streaming, downloading, etc. Well, it probably slows things down a little, but I don't notice it at all.It also does not constantly show me pop-ups of the same things over and over like McAffee does. For example, with McAffee, if I mark an update or download as safe, and tell it to allow & remember my settings and not ask me again for future updates, it still asks me. It got kind of annoying. I have not noticed this with Norton at all. I do get an occasional pop up stating Norton found some tracking cookies and asks if I want to remove them, which I do, and it removes them quickly. Once complete, it closes out and stays quiet.So...overall, I truly am very impressed with how much Norton has improved the performance of it's software, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
