Norton is a very good anti virus software
By Cheryl E on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2025
I use Norton for my anti virus software. It’s very expensive to renew. So I purchased it this way. It will sign up as your regular account, but cost 1/2 as much. It downloads pretty quickly, making it very easy to install. I would have also purchased the one with life lock. And if you want any utilities you have to purchase it separately. I’ll keep doing it this way. It has caught at least 7 viruses in my email.

Thinly veiled (barely legal) scam--pay for it on Amazon, but they demand your credit card anyway!
By GCK on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025
I bought it BUT I DID NOT INSTALL IT, because EVEN THOUGH I paid a year in advance to Amazon, NORTON DEMANDED THAT I GIVE MY CREDIT CARD! I became suspicious when I changed the "sort order" of reviews to "Most recent". That ENTIRELY CHANGED EVERYTHING. Instead of mostly great reviews, most of the reviews were 1-star, two 2-star reviews, and one 3-star. People complained not only because of finding this out ONCE TOO LATE--ALREADY USING THEIR PIN during the installation process, but also because customers' cards were hit for multiple times the price they paid from Amazon! When they saw that they wanted to immediately drop it and get their money back from Norton--NORTON WOULD NOT REFUND the money they (STOLE--in my opinion). The next thing everyone hates about it is pop-ups to sell their other products--all the time. Well guess what. There are some very good antivirus programs you can get if you are alright with pop-up ads plaguing you. But PAYING for "top-rated" software, you expect to be free of that! I've used antiviral software since about 1995, when the ONLY antiviral software available then (to my knowledge) was McAfee (back then, John McAfee) and Norton (back then it was written by Peter Norton). I used both, and used Norton for years, but somewhere around 2004, Norton became less than best, and I researched and got other software that was the leader--different ones for different years. I was not adverse to coming back to Norton, and being rated by some as #1, I bought them from Amazon. WHAT A MISTAKE! Unlike in the past (when I'd consider them again), I AM TOTALLY DONE WITH NORTON! I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! This is NOT a mistake, it is an INTENTIONAL SCAM, coated with a thin paint of legality, such that they wouldn't lose the case in court, but they did it INTENTIONALLY to TAKE MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE'S CREDIT CARDS--and multiple times the amount they paid on Amazon--IF they were too busy to realize their time was up, and they didn't stop Norton before they could buy again from Amazon. What about if money is no object? You really don't care if it costs you well over $100 next year? Fine, but do you want to put up with all the ads? Don't you want something that will just work, and leave you alone, staying out of sight unless there is something you NEED to know? Find another product. This one is grief!
