Title: After purchasing this item I was told it would not work on my device. I finally figured it out.
Review: This program has turned into a piece of crap. After purchasing and attempting download and install, I was told it would not support my PC. Do not purchase!I am not a high-tech person. I finally figured it out and got it loaded and installed. Sorry about the original evaluation. This product is good!

Title: Greedy company and a waste of money and a headache to download!
Review: Norton had always been my go-to antivirus program. I bought the download to replace McAfee that came with my computer when it expired. WHAT A PAIN it was to install. I took virtually hours and I know my way around a computer very well. The download would freeze as I waited. I had to reboot several times to get some movement. When it was finally installed (I hope) and I was prompted to check the security of this or that it would try to UP-SELL me, one aspect was for $99. Then I'm prompted to run a Utility check and THAT also was an UP-SELL. Enough of the scare tactics and wanting more money. I ordered this off Amazon and yet Norton has my credit card information?? And just TRY and find the option to stop the 'Automatic Renewal'. All said and done after the 'install' I can't say that my computer is protected. Never, ever again, Norton.

Title: Good Software - Greedy Business Practices
Review: I've had Norton Anti-Virus installed on my home computers for the past 6 years and am happy to report it does what it claims to - keeps them virus free and running well. It's easy to install and simple to operate. I especially like the option of right clicking on a newly downloaded file and using Norton from that menu to run a quick scan on just the one file. Now the "Greedy" part of my review title... Boils down to two things. 1. When your Norton plan is about to expire Norton begins showing you pop-ups telling you it's about to occur and offering to sell you a new subscription. No problem with that. What I don't like is the price they offer you from the pop-up offer is usually twice what you'd pay through most online retailers. Very insulting considering I'm already an established customer. If anything, offer me the best price to remain one! 2. What many others have stated in their reviews - Norton now forces you to input a credit card on their site so they can take a shot at auto-billing you when your just purchased subscription expires. Of course that auto-billing will be at the higher price as stated previously. They are hoping you'll forget about the auto-billing and be able to hit you for the higher cost next time around. Greedy. Also, no subscription service that's already purchased should be able to force you to enter a credit card when there's no need for any further charges. Greedy. Yes, you can find the switch within your Norton.com account to tell them not to auto-bill you when your sub expires but, as may other reviewers have noted, no customer wants to be forced to do that! Norton - read these reviews and try to find one that says "I love Norton forces me to enter a credit card so they can try to auto-bill me later at a higher price than what I'll pay through other online retailers because I'm so absent minded they're saving me from myself!" Good luck finding that review.

Title: Constant push to upgrade or buy additional products during entire period before expiration.
Review: Had no problems with use of software, but didn't care for being hounded to buy more products from Norton initiated through the anti-virus software itself.

Title: Great Product, but here is what you need to know...
Review: 1. Most of the ‘chatter’ that you hear is incorrect and made up by people that like ‘free stuff’- ie: it takes over my computer, conflicts with other programs. Etc.2. This Amazon version requires you to sign up for auto-renew to register it (that is why it is cheaper for the year subscription) but you can cancel the auto-renew right after you register your current copy. Enjoy the small cost for a great product.3. You really can’t install antivirus on an infected computer, it will cause issues installing, running , and updating any antivirus software.4. You should have your system professionally cleaned up before you install any antivirus. Norton supplies a tool to help you if your system is in a ‘bad way’ called Norton Power Eraser, NPE – which is a free download. Run it first to get most of the really bad stuff, then you can install your new Norton Antivirus5. Every company tries to upsell you to get more money and to sell you more options for their products. 99% of people are better off with just antivirus, you don’t need track eraser, VPN, firewall, backup, and many other features that is available from Norton. (sorry Norton, ie Symantec corporation) The more you install, that you don’t really need, the slower your computer will be and it will also affect your internet speed and connectivity to secure sites if you are running any VPN software.

Title: Confusing! Incoherent download instructions!
Review: I already have an active Norton 360 subscription that allows for additional devices to be added. When I attempted to add another device, specifically, an iPhone, it did not download onto the iPhone., Rather, it led to a menu that would require an additional purchase! I then attempted to purchase the Norton AntiVirus Plus 2024. It also did not download onto the iphone. ????
