Norton AntiVirus is Amazing!

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: I trust Norton as my leading antivirus solution for superior protection and peace of mind., both in my home and at work. Throughout my experience with different computers, I've consistently explored the antivirus programs that come pre-installed. However, time and again, I find myself turning to Norton as my ultimate choice. The reason for this preference lies in Norton’s exceptional protection capabilities, which not only safeguard my devices but also offer a comprehensive shield against a wide array of cyber threats, from malware to phishing attempts. Moreover, I appreciate Norton’s user-friendly interface, which makes navigating the software and accessing its various features incredibly straightforward, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. I've become accustomed to its reliable performance during scans and real-time monitoring, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my data and personal information are well-protected. The combination of these factors has solidified Norton as my go-to antivirus solution, ensuring that my devices remain secure and functioning optimally in today’s digital landscape.

Pros:

Norton delivers robust coverage for network security, offering extensive protection against a wide array of security threats, including malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. The installation process is not only straightforward but also user-friendly, designed to accommodate individuals with varying levels of technical expertise, ensuring that even the least tech-savvy users can navigate it with ease. Moreover, I have found the software to be exceptionally reliable; it consistently performs at a high level, providing me peace of mind regarding my safety both online and offline. This impressive combination of user accessibility, effective performance, and reliable security makes Norton a standout choice for those seeking to protect their network systems.

Cons:

Fine for what it is, but partially made redundant by more modern and less bloated options

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Norton Anti-virus is that, whilst it was fine for detecting most viruses, it has not made up for it with the huge amount of resource it requires and the lack of features compared to other options out there. I was happy with the support however but did not use for longer than a year.

Pros:

I liked the ease of use for the Norton Anti-virus software, as well as the after-sales support when it comes to help with installing in multiple environments or a network of many machines, ensuring they are all secure whilst remaining a consistent connection.

Cons:

I do not like that Norton requires a lot more resource compared to other anti-virus softwares out there, it is also a bit dated, and there are other options which are cheaper and offer more features compared to Norton Anti-virus.

Quality Product

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall I was highly pleased with Norton AntiVirus Products I have used over the years. They have been easy to install and upgrade or update yearly. They always worked seamlessly and updated constantly to catch any possible virus. I have never had an issue and it did catch a couple of viruses and stopped them from infecting my computer.

Pros:

It did not slow my computer down when it was running. It ran in the background, so I never could tell when it was running, ie: it didn't interrupt me or interfere with anything I was doing. I never had a virus come thru when I was using it. It updated automatically without my help or me knowing. It worked seamlessly.

Cons:

If I had a concern, it was for most of the above reasons above. It worked so quietly I didn't know it was working. Occasionally I would get nervous that it stopped working, and I would open it up just to check and make sure.

One thing that I like the most about Norton AntiVirus is knowing your computer is protected. We handle a lot of important information and feel at ease know that we're protected. We also like that it notifies you of any suspicious websites/links.

What we hate the most is if you want certain features, it always costs more money.

Get an overview of Norton Antivirus

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: With norton, we have been able to mix and match programs from the same family by combining the programs to save money instead of buying several different programs, which means that AntiVirus Corporate Edition is compatible with other Internet security programs from other editions. from the same family. The benefits obtained by using Norton are:
high protection against online fraud and pirates who are always watching our activities.
A high level of maintenance of this product
Constant offer of new versions for clients (renewal and update).
It is always updating. This is very good for protecting computers and therefore customers against persistent threats from hackers.

Pros:

Protects our computer, tablet and smartphone against viruses, malware and many other malicious virus attacks automatically. There is also a component of the Norton antivirus that protects our privacy and our online confidence. I consider this to be a very good feature. Norton antivirus is very easy to use. You don't need to be a computer expert to use this product for your protection. Regarding the integration, I can say yes, it was very easy. All you have to do is download the antivirus, install it and everything works perfectly.

Cons:

One of the weak points of Norton antivirus is that sometimes it takes a long time to open the program. uYou can be in a hurry, and it takes you a few minutes to start. That doesn't always happen, but it happens many times. Many users who are using the software report this slowness. For me, there is no difficult aspect to manage. Integrating software like Norton is not difficult, at least for me. It's going to depend on the type of Norton you use.
