Title: Easy install, don't complicate it
Review: Since my Norton was running out, I decided to give this Norton 360 for Amazon -- a try.If you're having trouble finding it on your Amazon account go to Your Account here on Amazon, look for the box that says Digital Content and Devices and click "Digital Games and software". You'll see your Norton 360 there. Start the activation by clicking it.One of the first things you'll see is a link to turn the auto-renewal off. If you do that you'll avoid a lot of the problems others have had with the other Norton 360 products with auto-renewal. If you have Norton account it will ask you to sign in, if you don't have a Norton account you can register one. Since I had one, I just signed in and it took me to Norton's website. It sent an email to me with the link to redeem the license. I clicked it and it took me to my Norton account where it showed the Norton 360 for 3 devices. There's a hard to see (at least for me) download button. You click that and it asks if you want to download it to the machine you're using. It also had the option to download it to another machine or device. I clicked download to the computer I'm using.Now comes a strange problem. Downloading with my browser gave me a non-executable file called "downloads". I let my download manager download it instead and it was the Norton 360 exe file. No idea why the browser wasn't downloading an exe version. Once downloaded, it started installing and took maybe 2 minutes. From there, your choice on this, I ran the Live Update and it did update further, taking maybe 2-3 minutes.That was it. Installed, no auto-renew and works just like my previous Norton software. I hope the above part is helpful for those that tend to complicate matters.One thing I do see as a negative with Norton and it was the same way last year is the insistence on popping open a new tab in my browser to add all their extensions to my browser. There's probably somewhere to turn that off, but that part is still just a little annoying. It only does it ever so often (once a month or so).Otherwise, this package for the cheap price seems to be perfect for anyone with 3 or less devices. I also put it on my work laptop and my wife's laptop. Those were the only 3 that we needed it on and each installation was as easy as following those directions I listed above.

Title: No Issues to Install, Great Price
Review: Had Norton for years now through Comcast (provided at no cost) but free protection ended in December 2020. Norton had provided good protection, but even the special deals to Comcast customers were not great after a grace period. Could not touch the price at the time ($20) for this Norton for Amazon software and am happy with its performance (better than what Comcast provided as I now have added VPN).Read several issues with installation, but I had none. Installed on a Windows 10 laptop and PC using Firefox internet explorer. Downloaded and opened file with no problem, old Norton removed, new Norton installed. You do need to setup a Norton account if you don't have one and the renewal charge for the next year goes through Amazon for the same price as the first year. Not sure how many years they can hold to the purchase price, but will start shopping again if needed.For now great protection at a great price!

Title: Purchased but didnt work.
Review: AVOID THIS PURCHASE!! (I see other recent reviews have the same issue!)Amazon customer service were useless. No download or software ley appeared in my digital library, kept linking to 2019 purchase, Amazon rep blamed me for the error & then told me to contact Norton since it's their product. When i refused and asked for a refund they told me they don't offer refunds on software or downloads - despite this product saying "cancel within 1 month for a full refund"The product page vanished for 48 hours and was diverting to a "whoops sorry this age cannot be found"Refund still isn't appearing in my orders page - will have to check in a few days,Ended up having to order the physical card / code and had that delivered to my house instead.

Title: Best Antivirus Software
Review: Norton is the virus protection that I trust the most. It is easy to install, and doesn't waste resources on my computer. It will check everything that comes into my computer, and will warn me if a website is unsafe. It will remember my passwords, and generate passwords that are more secure than the ones I can come up with on my own.
