Old user I have been using Norton since ages, as far as I remeber and have faced least issues regarding virus etc. Though only using Norton is not the solution, you also need to be very vigilent.

Norton : Safe Trouble Free Computer Usage for 10 Years I have trusted Norton for 10 years or more. My family have found out and sneered at me for paying for security when you can get it free. Yet I note that all of them have to pay to have their computers repaired at least once or twice a year with loss of access time while I never do. Norton safeguards my pathway and keeps me safe and operating without any trouble or fuss.

Very reliable I'm using Norton since more than 20 Years now, meanwhile on 8 gadgets. I never had any Virus trouble so I consider it a very reliable tool for my IT safety. It is not cheap but what can you do. It is a little bit of a nuisance that they have started to push me rather aggressively to purchase additional services or tools.

Unhelpful helpdesk The helpdesk at Norton is unfortunately initially manned by a chatbot. After going through some iterations of "I don't understand that question" and "I didn't quite get that", you're connected with a "human agent". You get a "estimation of less than 5 minute waiting time" message, which is quite acceptable. When you have to answer a call of nature after waiting for 15 minutes, you return only to see the human agent has shown up and left leaving the message that I can start all over again. It looks like the human agent cannot see the previous chat (or just didn't bother to read it - also possible). Norton - just open up a support mailbox instead of a live chat which just wastes half an hour of my life. McAfee - here I come !

It’s the industry standard for a reason It’s a great and simple way to keep your online activities as secure as they’re going to be.
