I've had nothing but grief since buying norton 360 online. Pop ups galore pages freeze and browser crashes along with all kinds of errors. I wonder if anyone else has had this happen to there laptop? Can anybody tell me how to fix or why this happens. I'm running a Lenovo t500

I had two problems: First One: Anybody heard of Aartemis.com, well I did it. Somehow or other it attached itself to my computer and I when I went on line it took over as my search engine. I tried, and others tried to remove it. So each time I went on line Aartemis took over, to get onto Google, I HAD to go on with Aarmetis to get on line and then change over. It wasn't even showing on my settings as a search engine. 2nd one. Anybody heard of Spy Alert, again I did. Don't be fooled by pop ups that state you are being watched. If you go there, they attach their selves to your computer. And then you continually get popups from them suggesting other sites to visit. Well in the end I got so frustrated with it all, and got in touch with Norton Security. Yep they removed for me. No charge. Thank you Norton.

I'm a web site administrator with thousands of active users. I installed Norton 360 to see how my clients' browsers may have been behaving when it was installed (I had always used AVG before). Over 2 or 3 weeks, my email ground to a halt, and everything seemed slower - booting up and shutting down the PC, launching my SFTP client included. Unfortunately I never found out *why* this product slowed down my machine, but once I had removed it, everything was behaving normally again, with no delays. It's a shame, because this product did apparenently save me from a hidden threat in an EXE that I nearly downloaded from a reputable site... you just never know do you?

I have happily purchased Norton 360 for a couple of years and am very happy with the product. This morning I found I had a problem with Norton 360, I called customer services and although I had to wait a while to speak to someone, when my call was answered the person I spoke to went out of their way to help me. By the end of the call they had completely corrected the fault and as a gesture of good will gave me an extra month cover free. I cant thank them enough for their help.I Would recommend Norton to everyone.

OK heres the story...

I went to visit my dad who had a dell notebook with this antivirus and he couldnt connect to his wireless network.

I spent about 3 hours updating drivers and so forth and then a message popped up saying that i needed to renew the norton subscription...

This gave me an idea, i uninstalled the program and like magic... i could connect to my dads network

They disabled the wireless card until the subscription was renewed making you think you had a virus and therefore going through with it.

Evil little trick they played to get more money, switched to kaspersky as they are much better

I WOULD RECOMMEND AVOIDING THEM AT ALL COST

I left Norton as they did not give a good renewal price. I went with BitDefender 2010 - BIG MISTAKE. I tried the free download, then nothing worked on the PC not just mine but 3 others. Found a good price for N360 and purchased. Brill back to good speed on computers all round. Norton is perfect if you have more than one PC OR SHARE WITH A FRIEND. As you get a licence for 3 users. Only bad thing is their auto renewal, they were asking £59 but got it on there shop website for £44 STRANGE. Before you buy any AV do your homework and try thier free trial BUT STAY AWAY FROM BitDefender, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the norton 360 dissapointed me on my brothers computer, its not out of date yet many harmful web links pop up, thats the main downside, also every 30 seconds or so it sometimes comes in a little box about threats being blocked, which may cause annoyance over time, but on my EI system 4115c laptop it fares better, little bro accidenly logged onto a site with 5 threats and i have had no problems apart from my laptop is a bit slow in the morning, dont know if 360's responsible, but apart from that it does many things well and is easy to use.

I used to use Norton as it was pre-installed on a pre-built PC i used to have.
This product only proves itself when it is asked to do the job it is designed to do....detect and isolate viruses. Which I'm sorry to say it fails at terribly.
At one point i received a virus from somewhere and it bricked my PC. After many calls to Norton support i got told that they could direct me how to remove the virus but I'd have to pay for the service. The clue is in the name "Anti-Virus" meaning prevention of viruses.
Does not work, support is terrible and on top of that it is a resource hog that slowed down my mid-range PC to a crawl.
Suffice to say once i got the PC virus free i moved to Avast which is totally free, easy to use and guess what...It does what it is designed to do!

i used norton's for years! i only wish i saw sites like this one years ago!! In hindsight i see just how bad Norton's really is:(
Heavy and bad updates jamming even crashin computers.. shame on them after bein so big.

This is a difficult piece of software to use.

But today after renewal I had to contact support. This is outsources and is dreadful. I spent 2 hours getting the wrong information on their on line chat. You would be advised to go and buy somewhere else.

Slow, cumbersome and very expensive.

Bought this utter piece of C*** along with my Windows Vista Intel Pentium desktop PC from a PC Worlds store when the salesman said there is an offer for this at half price(£29!!!).

Within a couple of weeks of using this junk my PC slowed down dramatically. Not only did it not detect the viruses but you can't uninstall it because I tried but the Internet Security system still remains in my programs list wasting space!

I would definitely NOT recommend this product to anyone even if it was free and came with £100 as the frustration will soon mount up and cost you more in the long run.


Finally, I would like to thank the viruses very much for infecting my PC (lol yes I am thanking viruses) otherwise I would not have discovered how bad this "antivirus" is.

This antivirus is not good even if it was for free.After 3 weeks I installed Kaspersky which found 27 Trojans.Norton is just waste of time and space on your computer.Would not recommend at all.

Do NOT even think about buying this antivirus software. It will slow down your system so much you will not be able to work (even on a dual processor). You will be forever rebooting your computer and wasting valuable time.

I had this software installed on 3 pcs at work and had to take it off all 3 because my employees were unable to work with it installed.

The design team should be shot for releasing such a poor and problematic software onto the market.

I felt that I was protected with internet browsing until Norton let an older trojan onto my computer that infected every internet program, even my 3G wireless adapter. I spent 3 hours with the so called analysts who repeatedly asked the same questions. Finally they concluded that I needed to pay them additional money to help me remove the trojan even though it was not new and recognized by other anti-virus software. I found the fix on the internet without their help.
I would have liked to have known that they do not stand behind their product before purchasing. Never again.
