I have been using Norton software products for more than a decade and heavily rely on it to not only maintain the security of all my PCs, laptops, phones, etc. but to also keep my operating systems in tip top performance. In all of the time I have owned their software, I have NEVER got any viruses or malware on my computers, at least not that I’m aware of :\, as the Norton software is constantly fighting that battle in the background while I’m on the computer and/or while it’s in idle. The software has, however, caught viruses and malware that has tried to breach my computers, including trojan horse style viruses. The software can inform you in real time when there is another source trying to breach your system or if a download appears suspicious. One of the best features of the Norton Utilities that I have always recommended to anyone with a computer or laptop is ensuring the registry and drivers are all up to date. Typically, when I work on someone’s computer that they say is running slow or having issues, it always seems to be because they haven’t been updating the software and drivers. Norton Utilities takes the work out of this by checking it periodically in the background and you can schedule it to perform the checks when you’re not using your computer. I have tried other products in the past and bottom line is they just don’t compare to everything you will get with Norton Utilities Ultimate and it’s well worth every penny to protect those expensive devices and keep them running great.

In our tech-based world, keep data secure is a top priority. While I am usually using a Mac with Microsoft Defender (through M365 Enterprise), I thought I would see what else is out there. The Norton 360 software is fairly straightforward and easy to use -- that is, once you've gotten through all the installation requirements and quite a few bugs. I'm running a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Norton installation did not go as easily as I would expect. Norton offers the same coverage as many other device protection packages - device security, dark web monitoring, a not-as-good-as-Apple's password management module, cloud backup, and VPN services. While the Norton software itself is pretty easy to use, I was disappointed in the effect the software had on performance on my MacBook. Not only did it slow things down, more lockups and jammed up rainbow "thinking" circles happened than ever before once this software was installed. I was unable to get the "Quick Scan" to successfully complete without the software locking up. Overall, I think - at least for Mac users - there are other options that may be better suited. I only have one license so I wasn't able to install it on my Windows 11 Pro machine; I expect performance to be much better with Windows. So, all in all, I give Norton 360 3 stars - it's good, but not great (at least for my use case). I would be willing to try this on a PC to see if I had the same issues, but for my Mac - it's a no.

Great product at reasonable price. Easy set-up and can disable the auto renewal on line so can get a price deal at non-Norton site.

easy to install. keeping my computer safe. I have used Norton on all my computers.

Cant really say anything bad about this product as its helped protect my dear Gaming PC.
