Customer Ratings & Reviews

removed other antivirus apps and made my PC way faster once installed this one. so far great service, great VPN service as well.

Love it. Got it a great price. Gives one peace of mind that ones hardware is secure from any outside threats.

The NortonLifeLock – Norton 360 for Gamers is fantastic. This service comes with licenses for up to 3 devices, easily allowing one to protect multiple computers or devices in their home, in my case I was able to use the licenses on my desktop computer, laptop, and cellphone. After making an account with Norton, installation was simple, taking less than 5 minutes to install. The NortonLifeLock – Norton 360 provides typical device security including a scan function with quick scan, full system scan, and custom scan. Provides live updates, performance evaluation, backup options. There is Norton power eraser, insight, and diagnostic report. There is Secure VPN service provided. On the computer this is available on the dashboard, on the cellphone the VPN is a separate application. With just a simple click in the Norton application the secure VPN will activate. You can easily change the region (selection by country) using a drop-down tab. This is not as extensive as some VPN services; however, there is ease of use and knowing the VPN service is provided through a reputable company goes a long way in my book. – I love that this VPN service is not limited to the computer devices but may be used on the phone also with one of the licenses. There is a cloud backup option providing up to 50GB of storage space where individual files or groups of files may be selected, and backup timing scheduled. There is also a password manager is included, managed within the Norton Website. There are also parental controls included, with the ability to install a family client to a child’s device that will monitor activity reporting back to the online portal and application. NortonLifeLock provides access to Dark Web Monitoring – This and the VPN being features specifically marketed toward gamers. The Dark Web Monitoring includes your standard bank accounts, credit cards, phone number, address, drivers license, mother’s maiden name, up to 5 e-mails… and your gamer tag. Between watching if personal information becomes compromised, and protecting your location through the VPN service, your online presence may be at ease. One of the biggest apprehensions in my mind is the fact this is for a 1-Year Subscription. Currently valued at the time of review for $89.99 for 1-Year, at first, I had reservations of the price; however, there is some justification and cost/value to be considered. First, you are accessing one of the leading standards in paid device security (I remember back 10/15 years ago, Norton use was spreading like wildfire). Since the development of free services, I had phased out using a paid service. However, in this case you are not just paying for device security. This subscription provides security, provides a 50GB cloud backup, Dark Web Monitoring, parental device watch capabilities, and most valuable for me the VPN service. I feel a standard, quality VPN will run between $5-$12 dollars per month, and even at $5/month that would be $60/year for just a VPN service. I confidently know that in one year, I will be renewing my subscription.

Would only buy on sale, dont pay full price, there will always be a sale coming.

This product gives you the peace of mind when using your expensive gaming laptop and desktops to connect to the net. I can’t stress how important it is to protect your gaming computer and how vulnerable this kind of computer to the ever growing challenge of online life. Because gaming computers are more powerful than typical ordinary computer, you may not even notice when a malware is inhabiting your device as you will not feel any sort of performance degradation. While default protection by Windows Defender is better than nothing, third party protection from reputable provider generally gives you better security and features. I installed this product on my Zephyrus gaming laptop and it works well. This product gives you the right to install it in maximum 3 devices: PC, Mac, Android, and iOS device. A typical user case scenario would be to install this in your gaming PC/ laptop, mobile phone and tablet, which makes the subscription really a good deal. Mobile phones and tablets are much more vulnerable than PCs. When using an anti virus or internet security product in your gaming PC, one thing that you should be aware of is how that product affects the performance of your PC. I do not notice any slowing down or performance degradation so I do not bother to run benchmark tests. Not only that this product protects your computer from virus, malware and internet intrusion, this product has tons of other useful features such as password manager, cloud backup (50GB) and secure VPN. As part of its secure internet solution, this product can protect you from phishings and keep your online life safe and healthy protecting you from unsafe websites. There’s also a feature to protect your online banking data and darkweb monitoring, which will give you an alert if your account or data are being compromised on the dark web. For gamers who share PC or device with their children, there’s the parental controls feature that helps you to monitor and manage the online activities of your child. All of these features are very useful if you don’t already have these services for your PC/ device. Of course when you game you may want to have as little background tasking as possible and you also want to get the best possible connection to the game server hence you don’t really want to use the secure VPN feature when gaming, unless latency is not a big issue for you. I also like the simplicity of the program, it has a simple layout where it displays all of its major features that you can access it easily. Overall, a very good offering and value from Norton.

Norton I have been using since they started selling products, the 360 for gamers is beyond fast and accurate

Would give this product a complete 5 star rating. It is excellent in every way except having to wait, scroll and select the secure internet browser. Not for one needed information quickly.

Norton has always been reliable, I am currently a member of them and will continue to use it!

Great Antivirus package that I have ever purchased. Loved the new features.

Great product. Love scanning all my computers to make sure nothing is wrong with them.

Seems like a great product. Doesn't use too much memory in the background and they've just added an Ethereum mining option, so you can mine for crypto when your computer is idle.

no problem runing on my system with lots of good features such as game optimization, back up, and lately got software updates checker which is a nice security feature to have!

I have been using Norton Security for many years to keep my computers safe, and I finally made the switch over to the "Gamer" version, and I absolutely love the extra features for people who spend more time online!

Great quality snd sounds amazing I really love this product!

You can never go wrong with Norton! Hands down the best antivirus software.

I've used this software for many years now. It is one of my favorite antivirus software. It works great on my gaming PCs and doesn't seem to slow anything down including my games.

Norton 360 Gamer's edition gives you plenty of peace of mind when it comes to using the Internet -- but not without inflicting a good bit of pain. On the upside, this modestly priced software suite (for up to three devices) pretty much covers the waterfront when it comes to security. Antivirus, check. Phishing and ransomware protection, check. Parental controls, check. Password vault, check. VPN, for extra privacy when browsing, check. It even monitors the dark web to make sure none of your most important personal information, including your gamer tag (that's the Gamer edition part) is floating around there. There are also tools for optimizing your system, making sure your firewall settings are up to snuff and even backing up key files in the cloud. (Up to 50GB with this package) That all sounds great, until you actually download Norton 360 and get down to the nitty gritty. That's when it becomes clear none of this going to happen without a lot of work on your part, and perhaps some sacrifice when comes to your daily computer routines. Installation, for example, is slow and sometimes unpleasant experience. Starting with Norton's demand that you sign up for automatic annual renewal, and fork over credit card information, before it will even load. You can turn auto-renew off once you are up and running but that left a bad taste in my mouth. Worse, my compuer kept throwing up error messages during installation, presumably because Norton 360 was messing with Window's built in security. I just dismissed them and it seemed to load fine in the end. But it was still disconcerting. In the end, installation was a slow, cumbersome process, in part because this package appears to be a collection of bits and pieces that were cobbled together over the years instead of one designed from the ground up as a unified smoothly integrated piece security software. Almost every option you choose forces you to log on to the Norton Web site again. And if you are using VPN, it forces you to repeatedly go though the maddeningly frustrating "I am not a robot" game (pick all photos that have a bus, bicycle, etc). Since if you are using VPN, it assumes you are robot, I guess. Also be aware that like many internet security packages, Norton 360 is very heavy handed in pretty much everything it does, taking over major aspects of everyday computing in the name of security. Consider the password vault, a tool that is already built into many Internet browsers. If you opt for Norton's, however, it turns off the easy, seamless password vault and replaces with one where you have to enter all your passwords again manually. Ugh. No thanks. (There is some debate about whether browser based password managers are safe so Norton provides an alternative if you are worried about that) Safe search is the same deal. You prefer Google for searching? Too bad. Norton Safe Search turns that off and replaces it with Yahoo! search (which probably paid them for the privilege. ) Who the heck wants to use Yahoo! search? Not me. Again, Norton may be safer but most browsers provide similar protection if you know how to use the settings. Pretty much every aspect of Norton 360 works like that. Many extra steps to do something that was easy and automatic before. Lots of sign-ins for everything. Lots of manual input of information. Lots of waiting around while the software finally gets around to responding. That's fine I guess, for computer users who are pretty clueless about security, or who maybe have kids doing stuff they should not be doing, and are happy to turn everything over to one piece of software. In the end, it requires a lot of work to set up and a lot of trust in the long run. In order to protect you or monitor things like credit cards, bank account and personal information like your mother's maiden name, and driver's license number, you have to provide it all to Norton. Along with all your passwords. Hence, they become the mother lode of personal information about you, so you better hope they never have a data breach. Norton 360's presence also takes a toll on PC performance. This is less of an issue than it once was since most PCs have plenty of horsepower to deal with things like anti-virus running in background. But you still will notice some slowdowns in some situations. VPN takes the biggest toll at least in terms of Internet speed. Mine dropped more than 50 percent in some cases. Not a big deal in terms of web browsing because so little data required but it might affect your streaming performance, depending on how fast your Internet speed is to begin with. Also be aware some services and web sites do not play well with VPN. My stock trading platform refused to function at all on VPN. Logging on to banks and other secure sites will likely bring up "I dont recognize you" dialogue since your real IP address is blocked. These web sites will need to send you a code every time you log on. (Two-factor identification on every logon) Yes, VPN protects your privacy but not without some pain. Fortunately, Norton provides a quick toggle to shut it down if it becomes a problem. In fact, it is always off by default and must be manually turned on each time you restart your computer. The bottom line here is that Norton 360 Gamers Edition is a capable all-in-one internet security software suite. It will do the job for those who want all that protection in one package and do not want to think about it again until the next renewal date. But experienced, tech savvy computers may find it too cumbersome and look for other solutions.

This product is great for games like defragmentation to your hard drive and could be used for mining crypto.

Picked this up Black Friday for a great price. Works pretty well without much interference with productivity.

Got this for my teens who are both gamers. So far so good a lot less freezing and pop ups. For the price and devices I can use it on definitely worth it
