Version: Norton 360 2.0
"Just My Opinion"
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: In 2001 I had purchased a new computer and norton antivirus came with it. Norton was updated regularly and scans were done regularly Norton did not find a single virus. But I had viruses on my computer and the viruses wipped out my operating system. I heard good reviews about Norton 360 so I gave it a try lets just say I wished I hadnt purchased Norton 360.
1. Norton 360 and past versions of Norton Antiviruses are major resource hogs.
2. I kept getting messages to back up junk all the time ( waste of time ).
3. When my licence expired Symantec automatically took the funds out of my
credit card. The credit card I had at the time of purchase has expired so they
took it upon themselfs to find a active credit card I have and took the funds out
of that. I was mad I didnt want to renew my licence but for Symantec not to
contact me about if I wanted to renew my license and get my credit card
information and take the funds out was a bit extreme. I contacted my credit -
card company they said they would refund my money and go after Symantec
for a full refund. From now on I'm going to Staples and purchase a Antivirus.
4. I had a lot of false positives with Norton during scans.
5. Not to offened anybody that really likes Norton or Norton 360 or Symantec
but I couldnt find anything I liked about Norton 360 so I left that field blank.
I just hope for the people that use Norton / Symantec products have good
luck with it and a virus or viruses dont wipe out your operating system while
using Norton / Symantec.

A security program from *ANY* company is not enough. There are many threats out there that can not be removed by even the best security programs. The biggest part of computer security is the *human* user. Use your common sense, not just your fancy looking security program! Better yet, switch to Linux, where users barely have to worry about security threats! Almost all new viruses, worms etc you hear about on the news are not "PC threats" they're "Windows threats"!!!!
