Norton - 360 Platinum (20 Device) Antivirus Internet Security + Scam Protection + VPN + Dark Web Monitoring (1 Year Subscription) - Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS, Windows [Digital]

Keeps my PC and other devices protected. Thank you!

Verdict: This package from Norton offers all the features one could want for protection against viruses, and for maximum data protection and privacy. Oh, and more thing... it’s for 20 devices! Installation. After downloading the software, installation was straightforward on three computers that did not have any antivirus software. Installation on another computer that already had antivirus software from another company took an extra step; I had to remove the other software before I could complete the installation. Once installation started, it was done in just a few minutes. Once installed, all features were available immediately. Overall, installation was a breeze. Features. Among the best features, this Norton package offers real-time threat protection, secure VPN, dark web monitoring, 100GB of secure cloud backup, and a password manager. There are other fantastic features, but these are the ones I was excited about, and the ones I use most. We plan to use the VPN service every time we are on public wifi, and when traveling. Of note, the VPN does not have all countries to choose from. The dark web monitoring already has alerted me of seven instances of past information exposure on the dark web from companies I used at some point in the past. Lastly, I am using the cloud backup to keep a backup of some important documents. Things I like: - Abundant and excellent features that every computer should have - Licenses for 20 devices! - Very easy installation Things I don’t like: - One country I wanted to use as the origin of my VPN was not available. I used another country nearby and I was still able to do what I needed to do. Overall, this package provides significant value by packaging a bundle of excellent features for 20 devices. I highly recommend this Norton package to maximize the protection of your computer, your data, and your privacy.

The Norton 360 Platinum 2022 consist of basic protection while being in Internet via desktop, notebook or mobile devices. Its installation is simple as soon as download and providing the product key, then the normal account setting if already it is created. The VPN allow to select what region or use the default as it automatically select depending from where connecting the internet. In this aspect, comes to notice that in iOS devices, as selecting the region it shows what city which in Windows doesn’t include such details. The Dark Web Monitoring seems to works without knowing its detail. For instance my email that was part list hacked from online services I use, Norton had detected my information and notify me. That is a bit scare to be, but Norton only offer as awareness and for action to take Norton request to pay extra to remove from the dark web. In this aspect I feel sort of being cornered with personal information compromised and Norton offering service but with extra charge, and not having how it is guarantee is removed totally doesn’t make feel secure. Another observation on using on mobile phone. Not sure if it has to do using with iOS, but constantly the connectivity change from WiFI to cellular data as soon as stop using the phone. It only switch back to WiFI while opening any application. Aside of aforementioned details at high level, it works appropriately from non expert but regular user.

Summary: Great protection for PC, Mac and more. It is more useful on desktop platforms than mobile in my opinion but many will find some utility. Lots of cloud backup and extra bonuses. I used the Platinum version which has 20 licenses. Pros: Good interface Peace of mind Lots of extras LOTS of licenses Cons: Some settings buried in menus Battery drain on mobile Back up slow Installation: Downloading from the website is easy. So is activation by simply entering your key. Once installed you will need to restart the computer and setup basic features such as scan frequency, back up folders, VPN, password manager and more. Not all features are required to be set up. Use: It's always hard to say how effective the software is since I am not trying to actively download any threats but no complaints in security from my point. If you are a crypto miner, as with most security software you will need to use exemptions to prevent the software from blocking and placing your program in quarantine. This is somewhat cumbersome since you have to dig through a few menus to get there. Cloud backup is useful for important folders but I found it slow to backup. But, it adds Peace of mind. The interface UI is pleasant and relatively easy to get around. All major items have their own menu screen for further tinkering. Mobile: I really like the features I. The android and iOS app security scanning is more prevalent in Android since iOS does not allow such scans but both versions allow for VPN/ secure wifi features. The app will detect if you are in an insecure network and automatically switch you to a VPN. Keep in mind I noticed lower battery life when on a VPN since I am guessing it keeps the app awake to keep the connection present. I also noticed increased location use on Android installations. Mac: I also installed the app on my Mac Mini with great results. The software has come a long way over the years and mostly mirrors the PC version with its interface. No complaints here. Setup has a few more steps since Mac OS requires password inputs or touch ID to change OS settings.

I have purchased Norton 360 Platinum Antivirus Internet Security for years, and I'm very satisfied. I think it offers a range of important services, including VPN and dark web monitoring, and provides a complete report that is easy to understand. The graphics are nicely presented and clear. This is the first time I purchased the software from Best Buy, however, not directly from Norton online, and my savings were substantial. Also, some services were removed from the single Norton subscription over the years and are now sold separately, creating ongoing ads to buy more and leading to concerns that Norton 360 Platinum is incomplete. I'm thinking security is reliable, but computer updates and management, such as driver updates, may be lacking, but I'm no expert. I'm a repeating customer, and so far Norton has met my needs.
