1.0 out of 5 stars Install problems corrupting drivers/registry, May 20, 2009

By

My laptop was working great but my Norton antivirus subscription had expired so I purchased Norton 360 Premiere. After installing 360 my laptop refused to connect to the internet either wirelessly or via ethernet. I called Symantec support and they walked me through uninstalling 360. After uninstalling 360 the laptop would still not work. Symantec said it was a FiOS problem. I called Verizon and they walked me through some diagnostic tests (which they said Symantec should have done) and they concluded my registry and drivers were corrupted by the 360 software. Not their problem. Called back Symantec and their seemingly incompetent (would start to tell me to do one thing and then change their mind and have me do something different) support person had me delete all "norton" folders from my registry and restart. Still no access to internet. Symantec Says call verizon. Verizon now says that what Symantec did does not fix the registry and Verizon suggested I pay somebody like the "geek squad" to repair it. This may be a great product if it ever works but so far the problems it has caused and the poor support I have received from Symantec make me regret the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Around the world in 360 degrees times3.0, October 8, 2009

This review is from: Norton 360 Premier Edition 3.0 1User/3Pc [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

Norton 360 version 3.0 is simply put everything you need to keep your computer save, up to date, and running smoothly. You get Norton Antivirus, On-line Backup, Botnet Protection, Norton Safe Web(tm), Network Protection, Automated Backup & Restore, Norton(tm) Insight, Antispyware, Norton(tm) Identity Safe, Firewall Protection, PC Tuneup, Norton(tm) Browser Protection, and Norton(tm) Pulse Updates.
Once you set the way that you want it to run, it does everything automatically. The help screens really help explain what every item in the program does and how they work. You can plan on spending about an hour setting it all up and after that you forget about it for one year.

So far this is the best Norton product I have seen. I have been a Norton user since they were writing software for DOS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Convenient & Best of All...Works where others Failed, April 23, 2009

I've tried several anti-virus suites in the past year including McAffee and ZoneAlarm plus a few others...after getting a nasty computer virus that wrecked my hard-drive with one of the "other" well known products, I switched to this for a 30 day free trial then purchase at the end of the trial period. The purchase was easy, the transition seamless and the product by far the best I've used. Not only did it recognize the virus the others missed but it runs clean and fast in the background.

Very easy to install, this has all the features I can really use without the junk I don't need. I can install on up to 3 computers...perfect for home office, laptop etc use and it comes with free online backup storage with more available for purchase should you need it.

Automatic update feature is seamless and doesn't impact performance to any notable level. Comes equipped with the PC security suite, identity protection, automatic backup and PC tuneup in this premier edition. One user for up to three computers. Another excellent features is the availability of live help - which I've not had to use so cannot comment on how good/bad it is but it's available should you require it. There is a free 30 day trial available which I used prior to buying since I wanted to know how sluggish this was likely to make my computer...happily the answer was "barely noticeable". Updates, back-ups and the rest are stunningly quick and, after having lost work since I have a tendency to delay the back-ups...having an automatic and nearly seamless feature that does it for me is perfect. Deciding what to backup is just a matter of clicking which files or folders which are then sent to a secure - free - area on your account. Prices for additional storage are a bit higher but you have the option or selecting your own storage device, other secure online account or a combination of all of the above. It's simple to schedule or to set on automatic.

Zero conflicts with other software or system performance - nothing to complain about in that area whatsoever. Everything is intuitive, easy to use and designed for convenience. To me, the real value is the fact this was the only product out of three different ones that was able to correct the virus that wrecked havoc on my hard drive. Plain and simple, works well without the fuss or hassle. It is worth the extra price in my opinion.
