Norton 360 Deluxe 2026 Ready, Antivirus software for 5 Devices with Auto-Renewal – Includes Advanced AI Scam Protection, VPN, Dark Web Monitoring & PC Cloud Backup [Download]

I've been using Norton antivirus products for many years. I do a ton of web surfing, visiting many different types of sites -- including some that use sketchy pop-ups, click-baiting, etc. -- and I've never gotten a virus. Not once. Norton has done an excellent job of keeping my electronic devices safe, which is exactly what it's supposed to do. And with their products regularly offered on Amazon at heavily discounted prices, my wallet is almost as happy as my computer. Is it perfect? Nope -- no software is. But the positives have always outweighed the negatives. I always find myself chuckling and rolling my eyes at the numerous one-star reviews that are invariably piled onto products like this. A few folks have legitimate complaints (though rarely serious enough to support their knee-jerk single star ratings), but the majority of them are unjustified rants. They usually boil down to: "I can't get this to load/work on my computer." I've never run into this problem, having downloaded it to numerous devices. I'm guessing you're doing something wrong. And if you aren't, I regularly see Norton reps monitoring the reviews and reaching out immediately to help. "Norton is forcing me to sign up for their ridiculous auto-renewal." Yes, it is annoying, and the auto-renewal prices have always been outrageous. But here's a super-secret hint, folks: you can turn off auto-renewal as soon as you finish registering the product! Just go to your Norton account and click (or double-click if necessary) the toggle switch to turn auto-renewal off. It will beg and plead with you not to...but stay strong, you will get through it. And then it's done. Problem solved. "I don't want to give them my credit card information." I'll never understand why some people think this is such a big deal. You've already given Amazon your credit card info, so clearly you have no problem with it being electronically transmitted to a soulless mega-corporation. So what, then? You think Norton is going to use it to buy a private island in the south Pacific? You're going to turn off auto-renewal (see above), so you aren't going to be charged for anything. Having to enter the number is a minor irritant at worst. If it's just a matter of principle for you, fine, then don't use their software...but giving it a one-star rating for that reason alone is laughable. "It sux" (or some equally eloquent variation thereof). Wow, super helpful feedback there. Which other antivirus software do you prefer, and why? I'm certainly open to considering other options. But I've actually tried other products, and I've usually ended up regretting it for one reason or another. Norton has yet to disappoint me in any significant way. OK, enough of my own rant. If you want good antivirus protection at a good price and have even minimal computer skills, Norton 360 fits the bill.

Great anti virus protection

I have used Norton for years and ultimately feel that when you have a subscription Norton relentlessly advertises to you. It feels like more of a scam than the scammers one wishes to block with an antivirus. I tried to cancel my subscription, but it did not go well. My experience is that Norton requires you to have a renewal credit card number in your account even if you do not wish to renew. I tried to remove the credit card number but when I tried, I was unable to "save" the change. So my card number was in the account and Norton automatically renewed my subscription when I did not wish to renew it, at a very steep price that I feel is excessive for the services provided. Please understand, I am not an attorney and cannot accuse Norton of anything unlawful. But I am a human being and I have feelings, and I feel that Norton made what I consider to be an unauthorized charge to my credit card because Norton did not allow me to remove the credit card number when I tried prior to subscription renewal time. Yes, like everybody I agreed to Norton's terms and conditions--who has time to read pages and pages of terms and conditions? So from a legal standpoint maybe Norton was within their rights. However, my perspective is that I don't want an antivirus provider who feels like a scammer. I don't want to have to stay on my toes all the time to avoid a charge to my card that I do not want. I should be able to remove my card number from the account to prevent a charge that I do not wish to authorize. Instead, I want an antivirus that I trust and that protects me from scammers, and one that does not use my subscription as a platform for continuous marketing for their other services. so just to reiterate, I am truthfully sharing my own experience and feelings as a one-time user of Norton, but I am not asserting any misconduct or wrongdoing on the part of Norton, or calling Norton any names, because I may have set myself up for my unpleasant experience with Norton by agreeing to their terms and conditions.
