Customer Reviews:
If I worked as slowly and as intermittently as this software, I'd be bankrupt.
You may think the title of this review reactionary, so let me explain. The name and marketing of the product would lead you to believe that the product takes care of everything for you from safety and security online to backing up all your important data, without you doing much if anything at all. This couldn't be further from the truth. From misleading messages indicating your data is safely backed up when it is not, to the most painfully slow access to the promised online storage (it's a bit like accessing High Quality video over a dialup connection!).
Steer clear and save yourself a LOT of time wasted.
Norton 360 3.0
seems ok so far, doesn't seem to slow down the machine as much as previous versions, also the ability to easily disable the programmes you never use from starting up when you switch on is a cool feature.
Norton 360 
Excellent product. 50% cheaper than Norton renewal. Easy install. Auto removal of old but maintains 'safe' data and all personal files inc passwords.
Watch out for product expiry leaving your PC exposed
As a Norton user for many years I'd assumed that they had a focus on keeping PC's secure. I was thus disgusted when I allowed my subscription to expire on a PC that I was going to rebuild with Windows 7 a few days later. As well as completely disabling the product on the relevant date, it didn't even reenable the Windows firewall - so I was left exposed.
I guess I should have read the small-print more closely, rather than assuming the product would either continue to operate without updates, or my system would be put back into a secure state.
Brilliant-Far superior to Bitdefender
I`ve used BitDefender in the past, and the latest version seemed to have got good reviews, so I downloaded the trial version. Boy am I glad I did. I lost count of the amount of times it crashed and needed me to tell it what I was doing at the time. Generally nothing more than using Firefox and Thunderbird. Hardly outrageously taxing. I I also found that without fail, at least once a night, (sometimes a lot more)the Bitdefender icon in the System tray would grey out, indicating it wasn`t working properly, so basically I wasn`t defended. I ended up having to run a full system scan every single day, and would be updating several times a day to try to prevent this. When I contacted their support, they told me I had to download these 3 programs and then run these tests. Then upload the results and email them to them. (Hardly running in the background)I duly did that, but that wasn`t enough, they always wanted more info and it got beyond my capacity on a PC, and I have several websites that I run. I told them it shouldn`t be this complicated or take this long to sort out, but they just didn`t really seem to care. The final straw was I kept getting trojans on my system that seemed completely untroubled by their much vaunted program. I decided to take a chance and try Norton 360, and boy, the difference is night and day! Nothing`s got thru. I`ve had no problems at all, and best of all, Norton used to have a deserved bad name for how processor hungry their programs were. Not anymore. This just runs quietly in the background, it updates when it senses i`m not using the pc, it hasn`t slowed browsing or other pc functions at all, and apparently it gets faster as it learns your pc usage. Nice one Symantec! Needless to say, Bitdefender`s gone and I have 360 running on all 3 pcs now(i pc, 1 laptop and 1 netbook) with no noticeable loss of performance. Save your money and your grey hairs and just get the Norton 360- Recommended :)
One month update. I have to agree with a few other reviewers on here, that it`s only negative side is the background checks that start running within minutes of the PC being left unused, and they can be a real pain when you try and start working again. Norton, please listen, and arrange for these to instantly cut short as soon as they detect keystrokes. Otherwise great 9/10
