Review of Norton

Norton Antivirus is an anti-malware software package developed and distributed by Symantec Corporation in 1991 with the goal of reducing high system resource utilization.

This organized tool has 25 years of evolution under its belt and it conclusively packs-a-punch when it comes to design and optimized security!

PCMAG.com have awarded Norton PC magazine editors' choice award 37 times more than any other security corporation.

Affordability

At $3.35 pm for the standard package, which allows protection for only one device and barely offers the most up-front set of features, it’s nowhere near the most cost-effective product on the market; fortuitously they do provide a deluxe security suite which significantly improves the cost-effectiveness.

The Deluxe package costs $49.99, although, for this, you get five times the amount of protection! It offers real-time protection against existing and emerging malware for 5 devices, including Windows, Macs, Smartphones, and Tablets (Android or iOS).

This package assists at merely under $10 per device, which we think is very justifiable.

Reliability

Like we said earlier, Norton has 25 years of experience so you’d expect a reliable, vigilant and quality product. Regardless of its impactful utilities, some reports signifying towards its unfavorable response.

Norton has been known to detect entirely reliable and non-threatening software as being malicious and by doing so leaves the authentic software worthless. It’s not always better to be safe than regretful, especially not in this case.

Product Features

Depending on the suite you decide to go for, the featured kit will differ. All security suites come with the primary Virus, Spyware, Malware, and Online threat defender that help you get the best performance out of your PC, even if you opt for the cheapest, the most basic version you will still shield by the underlying fundamental issues that can cause frustrating slowdowns or crashes.

If you feel that having the standard protection isn’t satisfactory, then the next solution doesn’t offer a lot more - for an extra $10 per year, you’ll get smartphone protection, access to an online web portal and e-mail spam filtering and phishing protection for up to another four devices.

Customer Support

Norton has a top-notch support section on their website, head over to the Need Help option? The menu on the navigation bar where you will be proposed to categorical support, to get help while Downloading/Installing programs to Threat-removal.

However, if you haven’t got the time to explore the whole support website for your query, there is a live chat option as well which is a considerably favorite among users - very minimum wait time, and you don’t have to move from your seat!

If none of this interests you, or maybe you just want to reach out to an individual who can give you a precise answer, scroll down to the bottom of the site where you will find Contact Support.

However, if you want to take assistance from the online support team, getting access to Norton’s contact number is harder than it should be, you will have to fill out a rather unnecessarily-long form which could be annoying while you are in the middle of an urgent matter.

    The antivirus protection has been good (as far as I can tell), however, I absolutely HATE the up-selling! I get a pop-up every time I turn my computer on...Protect your passwords....Norton Safe Search.... No way to permanently turn these off.

    Norton safe site is great for checking malware and ensuring that a site is free from malware. I think it’s great and use it for visiting any forums in different countries.
