Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have relied on Norton antivirus for over a decade and, during that time, none of my computers have ever been compromised by any viruses or malware. Unfortunately, I subscribed to Norton after one of my computers had already been infected with a Trojan virus so I had to learn the hard way that investing in a good antivirus program was a necessity. Fortunately for users, Norton is consistently tracking and fighting malware giving users peace of mind they no longer have to worry about hackers wrecking their high priced systems and leaving us with more time for gaming, business, social media, etc. Considering all the bad actors in the world today that are continually attempting to hack into every aspect of our lives from our personal computers, bank accounts, credit cards, log in information, etc. I personally would never risk not making a minor investment in the protection Norton software offers. Norton LifeLock 360, which is included with the Norton 360 Deluxe software, not only protects your devices with antivirus software, it also assists users to track your personal information including emails, phone numbers, addresses, SSNs, credit cards, etc. on the dark web or in the event any of the information you allow Norton to track and notifies you if there is an alert where you may have to change your password, report fraud, close an account, etc. Some other useful features are password management, cloud back up storage, a secure virtual private network (VPN), parental controls, etc. that go even further to protect users from being a victim of a cybercrime. After a quick install and entering my personal information, I allowed Norton to monitor, I had the software run an online check on the dark web for anything that may have been exposed and I was honestly shocked to find out how much was already compromised and available for others to see. It also informed me of data breaches that had already occurred with some companies and recommended I change my passwords on those websites. It’s honestly kind of scary how easily someone can access your information. The software also allows you to enter several different phone numbers, emails, etc. so you’re able to also track your family’s information as well to protect them without having to purchase more software for another account. Running a smart scan cleared my laptop of viruses, my network of any vulnerabilities, and any files that may be damaging to my device to ensure it runs as intended. It can run a deeper clean as well and I personally would recommend investing in their Norton Ultimate software which I also use to go the extra step in keeping your computer cleaned and running up to speed. I have tried other similar products from other companies in the past and, in my opinion, they just don’t compare to everything you will get with Norton software. It’s well worth the minor investment to protect not only your expensive devices but also your personal information which may be exposed for hackers to steal.

So I’ll start by saying that I’m an “older millennial”. I grew up in the 90s, and started using a computer and the internet in high school. I feel like Viruses were “the biggest danger” on the internet at the time. It was basically mandatory to have an antivirus software installed to keep your computer running properly. Now a days most computer software has its own built in safeguards to keep your computer running properly and protect you from malicious people and software. My main computer is a Mac, and Apple is known for having some of the best / most secure software. I however opted to go ahead and use Norton 360 with life lock on my MacBook pro, not because I’m worried about computer viruses but because I wanted an extra safe guard against trackers, data leaks. The biggest threat now a days I feel like are web trackers, data miners. So many websites and apps are constantly tracking your every move on the internet. They then turn and sell your data and info to others. And who knows what else. Anywho, Norton 360 has put together a nice suite to run on Mac OS and has made it pretty much fool proof for installing. I really appreciate having the built in VPN for browsing the internet on my Mac. There is also an antivirus, file cleaner, privacy monitor, identity theft monitor, anti tracker, fire wall and file cleaner. Everything is neatly organized and easy to use. The antivirus can be toggled on and off or be used to scan files before you run them. The VPN can also be toggled on and off and location can be set and changed. I wish you could pick a state when selecting the USA (for navigating through states that have banned certain websites.) I think the service I will appreciate the most from this suite is Life lock. There is so many data leaks, identity theft and trackers happening right now that this will give me additional peace of mind for staying safe on the internet. I think it’s definitely worth having, and Norton has made it incredibly easy to get this running on Mac OS. This is the perfect all in on internet defender. It doesn’t bog down my computer and runs smoothly. You might not think you need this but I promise you it is worth every penny.

I have used this suite of Norton tools for 5 days now and I am very pleased with the results so far. Norton 360 Deluxe and LifeLock Select was very easy to install and setup. I haven't had any problems using this on any of my devices. I have it installed on 5 different devices; 1 Windows Desktop, 2 Windows Laptops, and 2 Android Cell Phones. Most importantly, I didn't experience any performance degradation and it didn't cause additional battery drain on my devices. I will break down my review in detail below: 1) Installation and Setup: I first had to setup an account on my.norton.com, then activate the Key Code that was emailed to me. There are links to download each application for Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone. They all installed quickly without errors. 2) Norton 360 Deluxe (Antivirus and Internet Security): Norton 360 automatically runs a "Smart Scan" upon installation and will also schedule one to be run weekly, which can be changed. Over the past 5 days, it hasn't flagged any false positives as a virus or malware and all of my devices have continued to run perfectly fine. Norton 360 also includes Cloud Backup, File Cleanup, Startup Manager, SafeCam (protects the Webcam and Microphone from unauthorized use). However, the File Cleanup and Startup Manager require an additional purchase of Norton Utilities Ultimate. If you don't purchase this, a notice will constantly display on the Norton 360 main panel. This is one of my complaints, because it doesn't go away even when you turn off promotional advertisements. 3) Norton VPN: This is where Norton 360 Deluxe first shines for me. It has a feature that will automatically turn the VPN on, when it detects you are connected to an unsecured or risky network. For example, it has automatically turned the VPN on when I was at a hotel or restaurant that didn't have a secure network. But, in my home, it detected that it was secure, so it didn't turn the VPN on. In addition, you can specify what networks you want to trust or not. I travel a lot and connect to a lot of different hotels, restaurants, and businesses so this is a great feature for me. 4) Identity Protection and LifeLock: This is a huge bonus for me too. I really like having the LifeLock Select with Dark Web monitoring, Privacy Monitor, and Identity Theft Insurance. These features are worth the total cost just by itself. I was the victim of Identity Theft several years ago and will never be without this again. Identity Theft Insurance, Dark Web monitoring, and Privacy monitoring are 3 distinctly different features. With Identity Theft Insurance, LifeLock will assist in recovery and reimburse you for expenses to recover losses due to Identity Theft. Dark Web monitoring alerts you when your personal information and/or financial records have been found on the Dark Web. This includes name, address, phone numbers, credit card numbers, etc. Lastly, Privacy monitoring notifies you when a Data Broker has and may be selling, your personal information. There are several hundred Data Brokers that LifeLock looks at for your information on their website. However, most of these have to be manually removed by you, which requires a lot of time. My big complaint was that I couldn't enter all of my personal financial information from my Desktop PC and that it had to be done via my phone App. In addition, LifeLock and Identity Protect only covers 1 individual, not 5. Summary: I really like Norton 360 Deluxe with LifeLock Select. This meets all of my expectations without sacrificing performance or requiring a difficult setup process. When it comes time to renew, I will certainly consider this again and would highly recommend this to anyone. At $49.99 for 5 devices or $10.00/device, I feel this is an excellent value. However, for a family you may need additional licenses of LifeLock and Identity Protection for other members of your family.

As a long time Norton user, I’m pretty familiar with their software and services. This 360 Deluxe with LifeLock Select version is an upgrade from my current subscription of Norton 360 Premium, as LifeLock Select adds comprehensive identity theft protection like credit monitoring and recovery and restoration services with reimbursement coverage up to $25K for stolen funds and an additional $25K for personal expenses on top of their standard max coverage of $1 million for lawyer and expert fees, if needed. The digital version of the software can be downloaded from the internet, installed, and activated in just a few minutes. You can protect a range of devices from computers, laptops, and tablets to mobile phones. While this package doesn’t protect as many devices as my previous plan, 5 versus 10, I wasn’t using a majority of my activations anyway. There is slightly more cloud backup storage in this plan at 100 GB whereas my other subscription had just 75 GB, however, since both subscriptions are active with a 3-month overlap, I currently have 175GB of cloud backup until my original subscription expires, and then I’ll have to move all my devices over to the new plan. In our household, we are primarily concerned about online safety and scam protection for the eldest member of the household, a nonagenarian who uses the internet on a daily basis. We worry they could mistakenly click on links in scam emails or dubious pop-up ads and want to ensure they are not vulnerable to password breaches and all the other ways bad actors might target susceptible folks. Private browsing helps with this as it protects them from trackers and can block ads automatically. A new feature with this plan is AI-powered scam protection where Genie, Norton’s AI assistant, helps detect and block suspicious messages or webpages using AI analysis, and we’ve noticed fewer random pop-ups while web browsing as a result. There’s also scam reimbursement up to $10k if you do fall victim to one. The VPN is easy to turn on with a simple toggle in the software’s control panel as are other features like Safecam, which blocks unauthorized accesses to your webcam and microphone, and privacy monitor, a service that looks for your information from various data brokers and helps you remove your data. Just note that signing up for LifeLock requires entering a SSN, and you can only enroll one person from your household with this plan. For the credit monitoring, you can choose 1 of the 3 major credit bureaus to track an individual’s credit report for alerts and fraud detection. You’ll also be notified of attempted address changes that could redirect mail and packages. Norton’s bundled password manager is a huge help for managing the myriad of online accounts by generating and storing unique and complex passwords for each site, synced across your devices via a browser extension or mobile app. This makes it easy to use long random passwords that we don’t have to remember. Then accessing your password vault is protected by your master password, biometric login, or two-factor authentication. If there is an information breach, we’re shielded from farther reaching impacts since these unique passwords can’t be used anywhere else with other accounts. At its core, Norton 360 is anti-virus software, and it’ll block suspicious downloads or files from unverified sources as well as detect and quarantine any infected files on your device. With regularly scheduled automatic scans and updates, I feel secure knowing that my devices are monitored and protected. My only gripe is with the constant upsell from device performance scans, which always finds “problems” slowing down my computer, but remedying them costs extra.

In the past, Norton had a reputation for making bloated software that slowed down your computer and provided questionable protection. Those days appear to be long gone, as Norton's latest software is now much more efficient with minimal impact on system performance. The catch is that, in addition to antivirus features, the company is now bundling a ton of extra identity protection and online security options into its software that may simply be overkill for some users. === PROS === - Installation is very easy. You'll receive a key code that you redeem on Norton.com to activate your subscription and install the software. The installation file is surprisingly small, and the installation process is very quick. During installation, you'll be able to activate all of the included features such as LifeLock monitoring, PC cloud backup, VPN auto-connect, and password management. - Once installed, the software seems to run very quietly in the background. During regular use over the last week, I've only noticed 2 or 3 alerts from the software for warnings about malicious sites. It has recognized all of my frequently used applications as legitimate and automatically allowed Internet and webcam access where necessary. - There is no perceivable impact to system performance. I installed this on a gaming laptop and I have not noticed any slowdowns in games or dips in framerates. Task Manager reports that all Norton processes use about 200 MB of RAM collectively, so this appears to be a very lightweight and efficient application. - This version of Norton 360 Deluxe comes with a full suite of features that will appeal to less tech-savvy users or those who desire comprehensive identify protection. In addition to real-time threat/virus protection, you get a VPN (with surprisingly fast speeds), automatic backups with 100 GB of cloud storage (you can choose to back up any folder on your system), a password manager, and identity theft protection through LifeLock. The software makes it very easy to control all of these features in one place, which is great for those family members who just one a one-stop solution for online security. === CONS === - When activating your subscription, pay attention to the option to enable automatic renewals. It might seem like a good option, but it will basically lock you into the full retail price when your first year is up. You'll almost certainly be able to find a cheaper price than what the automatic renewal offers before your first year ends. - In the Norton software, the company often tries to upsell you to more of their products (such as "Norton Utilities Ultimate") by offering free trials. Some of these upsell ads appear prominently on the main screen of the software. It's unfortunate that Norton shows these ads to paying customers. - This package has a ton of included features, but it may be too much for some users who just want simple anti-virus protection. Similarly, tech-savvy users might prefer other backup/VPN utilities the offer more advanced options. === OVERALL === For the average user, this Norton 360 Deluxe offers a compelling suite of features that provide peace of mind in this era of endless internet/security threats. The inclusion of LifeLock identity protection provides further protection of your personal information and credit history. The software program itself is very efficient with little or no impact to system performance. It may be overkill for some users, but this is an excellent option for those looking for comprehensive protection in one package.

The best stays the best. Being a user of Norton products for over 2 decades, they keep hitting it out of the park. Norton 360 with LifeLock for 5 devices keeps them riding high. The Norton 360 product is super easy to install. On a Mac, it takes you through step by step and explains everything as you go and what you are installing. The download took just minutes and I was up and running in under 10 minutes. After installation, Norton went through a few processes to make sure my Mac was running perfect. Included with this is protection for 5 devices. That makes it super versatile. In reality, this is the ultimate package to protect your computer as well as your identity and financial peace of mind. With so many viruses, malware, ransomware, hackers, and adware, Norton 360 protects you from it all. Added to that is LifeLock LifeLock can help you protect your identity, give you social security alerts, and credit alerts. For parents, there is also parental controls. You also get a password manager and a cloud backup. I have not noticed any slowdown on my computer at all! That is key to me. In the end, this is the most comprehensive coverage I have seen. If you are looking to protect your computer or device, this is one of the best options out there. Highly recommended.

As a regular user, it’s always very hard to evaluate the performance of an antivirus with so many on the market. Most of the time, whether a virus is detected or not after a scan, you are left wondering if something has been missed. In my case, I see digital threats more as a global risk that requires not just detection, but also the ability to take action. Additionally, when financial information is compromised, the possibility of recovery is crucial. For that reason, by selecting a major brand with many years of experience and all the necessary features included in the software, I am happy to recommend Norton 360 Deluxe. Installation is a process that will not take you more than 5 minutes. It could take up to 10 minutes if you are a first-time user and need to create a new Norton account. In my case, the system recognized an old account that had already expired and reactivated it with the new product key, immediately recognizing the new product activation. I commend Norton for being very respectful with your private financial information. Unlike other companies, Norton does not require you to provide credit card information for automatic renewal 365 days from today. This is a bad practice in other companies that Norton does not copy. In this case, my license covers up to 5 devices, and the installation speed was similar across all five installations done this morning: two laptops, one tablet, one phone, and one gaming tablet. While the product may look a bit different on laptops and mobile devices, activation is quick on all. For all five installations, it is enough to use the web browser, log in to your Norton account, and download the appropriate file (.exe) or app for your device. After installation, running threat detection is the most obvious next step. I like how intuitive the process is, with the interface resembling a self-explanatory dashboard. All scans on the five devices came back with no threats. The longest scan, on the laptop with the largest amount of data, took less than 3 minutes. The scan is divided into three areas: virus detection, security threat detection, and efficiency (called “smart scan” by Norton). I am happy that the first two are included in my product license. For the smart scan, I dislike that the report only lists deficiencies, and resolving them requires a more premium license. It’s important to note that the license includes the most comprehensive set of protections for your digital life. This covers not only your equipment but also your data on the web. Additionally, it’s great how scalable the product is, as some options can be activated or not depending on your personal setup and device type: 1. VPN: For instance, I love the VPN option, but I prefer manual activation for a couple of devices, while it’s fine to have it always on for my mobile device. 2. Cloud Backup: This is included, and you can protect your data by saving it in this virtual storage. 3. Password Manager: Again, a safer alternative to the options provided by some web browsers. 4. Browsing Protection: Here, Norton excels compared to previous versions and other software because navigation speed is no longer slowed down by the antivirus. 5. ID Theft Protection (Lifelock): The addition of ID theft protection and monitoring of your personal data is a game changer for me. I love that the reports can verify where my data is and where some data may have been compromised due to software hacking. The software also allows you to freeze your identity and credit accounts directly. Finally, the license includes identity restoration support and reimbursement coverage. I love that all of this comes with a very user-friendly experience. Two areas stand out: the very low impact on performance, so my daily work is not slowed down by the protection, and the self-maintenance with regular virus definition updates that run behind the scenes. You cannot be completely risk-free, and for that reason, I absolutely love the solution provided by Norton to limit my risks to zero and to cover potential identity risks in this digital world. Highly recommended

What's great: -Easy sign up process for LifeLock and seamless access to Norton360 Software -Powerful dark web search/monitoring -Insights that give you actionable things to fix or monitor -Easy access to services to lock your credit and identity down in one place -Doesn't slow down your device What could be better: -Allow the VPN to work on more devices -Wish it had more protection against ads and tracking I think the one thing I like best about this suite of services is the dark web monitoring. My best advice is, don't wait until you've had your identity compromised to act, be proactive about it and I can say Norton's LifeLock definitely does that. It wasn't until I set this up that I realized my information was part of a data breach (along with millions of others of course the Public Data Breach that occured in 2024), and not only did it make me aware of it, I could see what was compromised in the breach. If you think your SSN isn't out there, I'd say think again, and Norton LifeLock alerted me to that and helped me lock down my identity to prevent fraud and I feel confident if something were to happen the protection this offers will help. While it is a pain to unlock reports, it's totally worth the minor inconvenience that causes vs. the potential for fraud using your identity. As for Norton360 the software is great, unobtrusive and works quietly in the background keeping your devices (and your information) secure/protected. I used to be one of those that say Windows Defender is good enough, and while it is good and better than having nothing, having a good security software package like Norton360 is becoming essential if you do anything online. It's not just about Virus's anymore, it's about a full suite of services to protect your device, and your identity and Norton does that pretty good. There are some things I wish could be better, like the ability to use the VPN on more devices and have ad/tracking protection like other VPNs like Proton VPN do, and there are good browsers that do this. So I think that's the one area Norton could take this next level and really offer a comprehensive suite of privacy protection tools. This package offers a great value of services and as such I'd recommend it. The identity projection and monitoring is good and blended with the software it is overall pretty good.

In an age where online protection needs more than anti-virus, this product provides a full suite of protection. After yet another notification of a security breach, I felt that I needed the protection of LifeLock. The free monitoring offered by hacked businesses, simply doesn’t provide the protection needed in today’s world. I hadn’t even been notified of this recent breach, until months after the fact. This product combines comprehensive protection for the basics like viruses, phishing, spyware and more. Everything I’d expect in a standard offering. It goes a step further by including a Secure VPN and password manager. Cloud backup ensures I won’t lose any files. The addition of Lifelock features is what sets this above the rest. Dark Web monitoring, Identity alerts, Credit monitoring, and coverage for the expenses of restoring your identity. It also supports all of the typical platforms in use. For me Windows, Android and Apple were what I needed. Installation and activation couldn’t be simpler. On my older Windows 11 desktop, I didn’t see any performance hit after the installation. Following the installation, it does have multiple ads prompting the purchase of other products. This can be annoying. It’s also a renewing subscription. If you’d rather not have it renew, you need to be sure to turn that off. For a one-stop application to keep your ID and systems safe, this is a solution for me.

As someone who uses a windows laptop, a macbook, an iPhone, and an android tablet, I wanted one security solution that could protect everything without needing different apps or subscriptions. Norton works smoothly across 3 of my devices and is limited on one. On my laptops, the full suite provides real-time protection, firewall controls, and frequent scans without slowing things down too much. On my iPhone, Norton focuses more on web protection. On my android tablet, it feels more like the desktop version. The interface is clean and consistent across platforms, which makes switching between devices painless. The built-in VPN has been surprisingly good. It connects quickly, works on all four devices. Currently have another dedicated VPN service that is more robust and I am not willing to forgo due to streaming needs but the Norton VPN is a good choice as a baseline VPN. The password manager is simple but reliable, and the dark web monitoring adds peace of mind by alerting me if any of my personal info shows up in a breach. Norton 360 Deluxe has been worth it for the convenience alone. Instead of piecing together separate security tools, I get full protection on most of my devices with one subscription. Norton doesn’t slow down things too much, and does exactly what it promises. If you’re managing a mix of Windows, Apple, and android devices, this is a simple complete and user friendly option.

Norton 360 Deluxe is really good. Email came for me to download with the code. Once downloaded installation took less than a minute. Download was quick and painless, the sign in process uses Apple, Google etc to identify you, so you don’t have to jump through a ton of hoops to get signed in. Really was quick to scan my pc for viruses. Then i chose to look for files on my laptop that could be cleaned up. That process again was quick to identify and prompt me to review. I chose to remove all the clutter. The next thing I chose was to clean up the registry keys, the software did just that. Step by step as you complete the steps it takes you to the next process to get your machine up and running smoothly and cleanly. Installed on my ipad using the app from the apple store. Had it scan my ipad, then check my web settings and it added VPN to secure my connection. It is protecting my browsing experience as well to keep/prevent someone from injecting viruses, malware onto my ipad. I feel better more secure and more at ease with having this complete system on my laptop and my macbook and my ipad. Definitely a complete system. Using lifelock to cleanup my password and emails that may have been leaked on the dark web.

I picked up Norton 360 Deluxe + LifeLock Select because I wanted one go-to solution to protect multiple devices and give myself some extra security online and so far it’s done what I hoped. It was pretty easy to install, covers up to 5 devices and immediately kicked in to guard against malware, phishing, and other nasties that wander around the internet. What’s nice is that it doesn’t just guard the usual things. The package includes a VPN so browsing on public Wi-Fi doesn’t always have to feel sketchy, and there’s a password manager that helps keep things locked down without me having to remember dozens of passwords. The dark web monitoring and identity-protection features add a layer of protection I appreciate. I feel less anxious about identity theft or someone messing with my credit info, especially with how often data leaks happen nowadays. If you have kids or share devices at home, the parental controls make it easier to set ground rules and avoid accidental clicks or risks online. On top of that, having a secure cloud backup helps in case something weird happens to a device. I feel safer online, I don’t have to micromanage every little setting, and I like that I’m covered across all devices I or my family use.
