Avg. Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0
Norton has been very, very good to me I wrote a very witty review that you would have, I'm sure, enjoyed immensely, but Amazon.com lost it in transit to the next page. I said something about it not handling spyware and having to dial down the firewall protection to make the start-up work faster. That was about it, except I remember saying the latter was probably my computer's problem for not having enough RAM or ROM or GIGS or whatever. I suppose you can tell that technology is rapidly passing me by.
If it installs GREAT, if not, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT I gave this a one star rating because there is NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. After 2 hours on hold with the 800 toll free line and my NORTON 360 STILL, after 1 HOUR and 25 MINUTES, STILL trying to connect to THEIR interactive on line customer support center, I am giving up. Oh, and I have high speed DSL and a new computer running Vista, so my compter is NOT the problem. I will eventually get this software running, but next year, I WILL NOT RENEW. I will look for another product. I had read other reviews... more info
Very happy with this product At the begining I was hesitant to get this product, but now that I have it installed, is very useful and it gets my pc protected.
Stay clear!!! For some unexplained reason important add-ons such as parental controls & anti-spam have to be installed via a seperate download after the main install. This has failed on 2 out 3 computers. Watch out for renewal - these guys are highway robbers - they charged my card $75 while the the online price is $60 without my request or approval 3 weeks before the subscription expired. Called them & as expected it was a waste of time. Now I will dispute it with my CC company.
