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.
