 360 goes around January 6, 2009
Peter Gallant (Halesowen,UK)
Does it cover all angles - well, for the most part yes! Updates are regular and timely with the occasional reboot required. I find it doesn't trap all malware though - so spybot covers that base. Value for money - excellent Ease of install, running- good Customisable - fair - could be improved - somewtimes diificult to find out why a website or program is blocked and change the setting. Clean-ups, optimisation- fair to good - does it really clear all temp files - maybe not. Overall - good - does the job reasonably well for a good price
 Unimpressed December 27, 2008
Pete Ratcliffe (London, England)
I've used Norton AV products for the last few years and have been happy with their performance. I felt confident that my PC was protected and didn't see a noticeable degradation in performance... that was until I purchased Norton 360.
Installation was a breeze and, at first, everything seemed fine. Performance on my laptop (which is pretty well spec'd) didn't appear to change but my desktop machine (which is a few years old) took at least 10 minutes from boot-up to get to a point where it would function normally.
After a couple of months my laptop managed to get a virus followed by an adware infection. Norton didn't capture either of these even though it was fully up-to-date. Finally, after running Live Update, the laptop completely crashed with the infamous blue screen of death and every subsequent reboot resulted in the same.
I was only able to resolve this by completely disabling all the Norton services and removing the Norton programs that automatically ran on startup.
Given the high premium for this piece of software, I find it ridiculous that the software I rely on to protect my machine was the thing made it inoperable.
Following this experience, I will no longer purchase any Norton software and have advised my family and friends not too either.
Norton not quite 360 December 21, 2008

Symantec have gone a long way to improve this and added some nice features. It does not take the resources of earlier versions and works a lot more seamlessly - especially with Windows Vista. I quite liked the options for cleaning up the Registry and Disks & the AV protection is much improved. My one gripe was with the Backup which would inexplicably trash CDs and DVDs for a past-time. I stuck with it for 100 days before dropping it in favour of AVG - Sorry Symantec!
 Much improved over previous versions December 6, 2008

I bought Norton Internet Suite a few years ago. It seemed to really slow down my pc so I replaced it with AVG internet suite which was much less intrusive. However, AVG support was very poor. Based on Amazon reviews, I (apprehensively) swapped to Norton 360 about a month ago. Happy to say that this version is simply excellent so far. Glad I swapped back
 NORTON CANT FIX NORTON December 5, 2008

Norton 360 installed and worked well until red banner advised not protected. Invited to download V2. It failed to load. On line support given control and after hours of faffing, restored me to V1 but with red banner gone. Much later invited to try V2 again as Norton said snags now rectified. Again V2 fails to install. Have two attempts and hand over control each time to Norton who spend hours faffing around then disconnect and leave me with no protection at all. Promised e-mail to restore connection never arrives. Now back on V1 but with no intrusion prevention and no amount of effort will fix. There are major problems with N360 V2 which Symantec cannot fix, and now there are some with V1. All in all Norton/Symantec have gone backwards. Trying to get someone intersted just gets the standard reply inviting a sign on. A drain on the rations.
