Very Satisfied

Strengths: Easy to install and maintain

Weakness: Haven't found any

I have installed this product on six computers, Vista and Windows 7 without a problem. Have tested a variety of anti-virus software, including other Norton Products. This is great for the members of the family or coworkers who do not need to see constant annoying "update" and "I caught something" messages. It does what it is designed to do well.

Norton 360 is much improved over recent Norton AV...

Strengths: Broad malware coverage with minimal user interaction.

Weakness: Not able to change default settings for some important features (e.g. excluding files/folders from scan).

Easy to install and economical for 2-3 PCs. Good PC tuning included. Somewhat difficult to navigate and find settings for changing defaults. Less obtrusive than previous products for most malware protection.

Does what it should.

Strengths: Very user friendly. Have not experienced any adverse effects on PC performance - it does slow down a bit when running LiveUpdate, but that is it.

Weakness: After installing it on a Vista based PC, had to reinstall it twice. Was it Vista

Had it on an XP PC before the latter died (5 yo, heavily used laptop) - worked great, did not slow down PC (Unlike McAfee total protection which I uninstalled after a months use). After switching to Vista, had to reinstall it twice in the first month - whether due to Vista, or Norton, I have no clue. However, ever since (4 months) it has been running smoothly.

Not Good

Strengths: Unable to determine

Weakness: 1. Support, 2. Program settings and control

Very very poor support. Will not work through proxy server. Well at least not my proxy. Symantec solution is to keep reinstalling until you give up and throw the disk away. Or run Live updates manually, which defeats the purpose of purchasing a product like this. Will also slow down most 1.2g and above machines. Put it on a 1.2g or less, and you may as well make it a brick. Stay away from this...

360 Swirl Down

Strengths: It must do something because everything slows down.

Weakness: See above.

I usually expect Norton's products to get better as you add the updates. You know, rush to market, etc. But so far this is a lumbering dinosaur. If you are a deep thinker, this is perfect. Expect plenty of think time between downloads.

Norton 360 - nice idea but doesn't deliver

Like others before me have said, this product looks good but is not as "automatic" as it's protrayed. So far, I have not had any of their "automated" scans happen without human intervention. Even their automatic backup isn't automatic. When I called support (on two tech support tickets) they put me through the usual steps. After about 5 emails when none of their suggestions worked, they started...

Nothing but problems !!!

Strengths: 24/7 tech support

Weakness: Norton policy of paid support for manual virus removal.

Nothing but problems !! My computer recently was infected by Trojan Vundo and Norton 360 could not remove it automatically. When I contacted Norton they told me that I would have to pay $ 99.95 for them to help me manually remove the virus and this was only good for 60 days I think, After 60 days I would have to pay again. Well, I did find another virus protection company that would help me...

Horrible protection & support.

Strengths: The program disc makes a fine coaster for your beverages or Frisbee for your children.

Weakness: All support comes from an Indian office with BAD English skills. They LIE on the rebates, not fulfilling them! CAN'T contact TECH SUPPORT with issues.

advertised 360 with $40 rebates. I mailed them Certified Mail (they signed for it & it proved they got it). Yet after re-mailing 3 times, faxing 2 times I was told, "yes we got it, but the rebate is expired now, so sorry. Thank you for purchasing Norton!" To make matters worse, Norton does NOT operate well with ANY other security programs (spy/adware seekers). My computer then got infected with...

Steer Clear - This Will Wreck Your Computer!

Strengths: none

Weakness: resource hog will make small problems into large ones bad technical support disables network adapters

Since I make my living off of my computer as a writer, I thought I would upgrade my protection and as I've been a fan of other Norton Products (now Symantec) I thought 360 sounded like a great deal. I have a computer with an 80 gig hard drive, 512ram and 1.5 GhZ. Not a hoss daddy computer but a decent one none the less and it was working just fine prior to the installation. I downloaded the...

Don't Waste Your Time or Your Money

Strengths: Pretty Box

Weakness: It Doesn't Work

I've been using Norton 360 for over a year for two features, anti-virus protection, and an online back up service. Both of these failed. My wife's laptop with Norton 360 installed and up to date virus definitions got infected with a virus in December. The virus took over Norton and disabled it. I reinstalled Norton, updated the virus definitions, and tried to root out the virus. Norton didn't...
