Norton 360 Premium 2023, Antivirus software for 10 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring [Key card]

July seems to be when Norton is a steal at Amazon. I dont have 10 devices, but I can share the registration code with someone who is not in my household. Once you enter the code during the registration process, your year starts, even if you dont load the other licenses onto other devices for weeks or months later. This also means that if you buy several copies of the software (say, a great sale price), you can just stockpile those licenses for several years until you need them. (Personally, I wouldnt buy more than several years worth, as a lot changes in software, and there may be dramatic upgrades that youd want, such as new cybersecurity protections not yet developed.) 1- The Big Thing: Yes, you have to use a credit or debit card, or PayPayl, to register your Norton product. (For Shame, Norton.) I dont think its much protection to use PayPal to keep your private info from Norton, as both PayPal and Norton would seem to be prime targets for data hackers. 2 - Canceling Auto-Renewal: As Soon as I Finished Registration, I went into the options of my account (you will have to create one if you dont have one already), and I canceled auto-renewal. I didnt have to call anyone (maybe Norton paid attention to the reviews here), but I did have to go through a 3-click process to cancel, as Norton tried to pressure me to keep the auto renewal. (Shame, Norton.) You just keep clicking that you dont want it, and youre done in 10 seconds. 3 - Ease of setting up: The set-up link requires you to first read the Terms of Service, but then didnt take me to the right page for entering the registration code. I went round about through various web pages, but I think logging in, if you have an account, might have been the better way to start. When I did, I finally got the text box to enter the code. (Be sure to have cookies enabled for the set up, but I did not have to disable Adblock Plus or Ghostery, another blocking app.) 4 - Downloading: I already had Norton on my laptop. I did not have to do anything to the old version, including uninstalling it. Norton asks you to download the new version, and installation was very quick and problem-free. With my cable ISP, it took just a couple of minutes. 5 - If this is your first time using Norton, plan a good 30 minutes to go through every option to customize your Norton product as to how you want Norton to function. Its tedious, but after that, new installs retain your settings. 6 - The most important option -- automatic update: Ive been a user of Norton for decades. Ive never had a virus, malware, attack, or other problem. But I also play it smart and careful when Im online, and its critical to keep Norton updated as cyberattacks happen round the clock. This is the only app/software that I allow to automatically update itself, which happens whenever I go online. (I do not leave my computer connected to the Internet 24/7, for security.) The update happens behind the scenes, so to speak, is quick, and never interferes with the function of my browser. I also have Norton automatically scan my computer for viruses, malware, etc. Let Norton do its job. I hope all of that helps you.

Now, when you try to renew your current version of Norton 360 with the latest Key Code by entering it in the Norton App, the Key Code is marked as not supported. You either have to logon to Norton and enter the Key Code and then download and reinstall (on 10 devices if you have a license for 10) or contact Support by chat and they will merge the new Key Code into the exiting Norton 360 Active Key Code to active all the associated devices. This is a REAL PAIN. I spent several hours trying to get this all worked out. I have been using Norton for more then a decade, but now considering other options.

So the key features from this package that stand out to me are: protection for 10 devices, an included VPN, basic Lifelock coverage, a password manager, and 75GB of cloud back-up. So yeah, you get a lot to say the least. The only thing I found mildly irritating is that it had to be shipped. Previously, you could have a digital code sent, and its still an option if you want it linked with Amazon. I also recommend that each year, you disable your Norton subscription, and then just buy another code here. Youll save money that way, but you have to remember to do that extra IT administration one day a year.

Good Anti-Virus, Good Value for 10 machines. Online download simple, relatively quick after figuring that you need to find Manage my Subscriptions

Always use this Norton Product without any problem. Im doing this review very late and am actually getting ready to get the next version. Buy through Amazon to avoid all of the hullabaloo of being put on Nortons list and paying 3x the price each year. It is a great product though.

Best price around.

Long term user of Norton products and this is the best Ive used. This is the first time Ive purchased Norton 360 Premium for 10 devices from Amazon. For reasons unknown to me, this is not available from the Norton web sites at the price I paid. What is available, is Norton 360 Deluxe for only 5 devices at a higher price than the cost of Amazons product. I needed coverage for six devices. If I purchased it through Norton itself, I would have had to pay more than twice the amount for Nortons 360 Deluxe which would have been a substantially increase. I leave the research of the price points up to you. The program is easily installed and works as advertised. The VPN works as stated, so if you dont want to be tracked by questionable folks out there, this is a must to have. I highly recommend this Norton product!

Norton is a good product and a good value when purchased from Amazon. However, you still have to put in a payment option, even though you have already paid Amazon. I know you can turn off auto renew, but still you should not have to put in a credit card, when you have already paid.

Dislike auto renewal and Nortons attempt s at getting you to upgrade. Product itself is great

I have been using Norton for years as it offers a decent set of anti virus apps. However, the annual renewal process has always been very annoying in one way or the other. Their current scheme goes like this: - To purchase Norton 360 online you must have auto-renewal set to on. - More than one month before your license expired, they auto renew for a much higher price than if you would purchase the app suite new (~3 x more! - $115 instead of $35) - I did not get notified about the impending auto renewal a month ago, but only found out today, when I wanted to turn off auto renewal I think this is not a great business strategy, because it seems borderline like a scam. Instead of rewarding long time customers, Norton is deceiving and taking advantage of them. So if you buy a license only make sure that you pretty soon after turn off auto-renewal.
