Norton AntiVirus Features

The interface is easy to navigate and belies the power behind the software. There are 6 main areas of protection: device security, dark web monitoring, a VPN, cloud backup, parental controls and a password manager. Most of the security functions you need in, one app.

Norton Crypto. It's a waste of my resources to be honest.

Offers some of the best malware protection around. Password manager, backup software. Not t too much impact on system performance during scans. Each package overlap features, with tune ups to get more protection, ajusted to your needs (from basic to premium). Norton can be set to go into 'silent mode', which reduces signature updates and user notifications whenever another program uses the full...

Few extra features in comparisson with older versions. Still a little slow performance during scans system scans. Lacks the extras we've come to appreciate in other antivirus suites, such as file encryption, file shredding or a secure web browser. It doesn't have a free antivirus product, Norton has four levels of paid malware protection. Parental controls feature is reserved for its pricest tier. None of the Norton products offer the wide range of extra features and tools that have become common in antivirus software.

I believe Norton Antivirus is the best because it gives me real time information. It's value compared to cost of the software is outstanding. I believe if I did not have the threat alerts I would have had viruses on my computer. In the end it is an exceptional service, software and value!!

I can't really say I don't like anything to be honest! I would not switch. It protects my business and my clients and vendors too much.

Simple user interface, light loading software especially for mobile version. Easy to customize

Notifications can be "Stubborn" at times. No challenges otherwise

Norton is a very easy to use software that offers many features and options. While all of them are top-notch, my favorite feature would probably be the VPN, which allows me to work in complete security, knowing that my data and information are encrypted and protected.

Some pop-ups can be annoying in the long run. Especially when it comes to background tasks. I sometimes get several notifications in a row, which can quickly become disturbing, especially when I'm working. And although a silent mode exists, it is not permanent, and must be reactivated every 24 hours.

What I like the most about Norton Antivirus is the ability it has to scan applications that I have downloaded and websites that I visit quickly and efficiently because every time this software encounters a feature that could damage my device it notifies me quickly and the reasons why an application or website is not trustworthy.

What I like least about Norton Antivirus is that its payment plans can be considered expensive and it does not have multi-license pricing. In this regard, I recommend using Norton Antivirus for large companies or if you work with unfamiliar applications and websites all the time.

1. Most secured browser i have ever used 2. Attractive user interface 3. Provide 1 month trial support 4. Protection from fishing attacks 5. Secure browser and Secure Vpn is provided too

1. Expensive than other antivirus in market 2. Lots of renew pop ups irritates the user experience . 3. Difficult to reach to customer care if any error regarding license key occurs 4. Sometimes Blocks useful pages and apps too.

I like the warnings I receive that make me think twice about websites I visit. I think the user interface is simplified for anyone to understand. The ability to optimize the disks and clear out all the extra trash left on browsers is spectacular. I regularly use the application for scanning for virus's and I have not yet got one. Most likely due to the live Auto protect that shuts down any suspicious activity.

My only real complaint is that I wish it had even more. I know there are other Norton products that could be added on to make it a more complete suite. For example a VPN perhaps. Other than that, I am pretty happy with the software.

Norton is always on top of everything. Even if you're not well-versed in everything that has to do with computers or the internet, Norton takes care of you and tells you if what you just downloaded is good or bad, if the web page you're on is good or bad, and also when your next scan is coming so you can prepare for it (i.e. closing down apps, software, etc. that you may need to save progress on).

Sometimes it "overthinks" downloads and websites. What I mean by this, is I could be on a site that's trusted, and any and all downloads are 100% clean. But it will still mark downloads and sites as dangerous and will either restrict access to them, or immediately delete a download. And sometimes it's downloads that take more than 10 minutes to complete that get automatically deleted, so it's like a waste of time waiting for it to download, only to find out Norton deleted it soon after.

Turnkey security software for your small or mid-sized organization. By the time you get larger, you'll want more comprehensive security software. It works well, has high levels of customization, and you can view the threats against which it's protecting on a daily basis.

Some users complain it's too restrictive and doesn't give them enough flexibility to complete their work, but we'd rather give software permissions on an ongoing basis than make it too lax up front. You'll certainly need more defenses when you get larger, especially when securing mobile devices and VPNs.

Norton works mostly in the background without impacting user activity. We haven't been impacted by malicious software since installing (touch wood!) and the initial and renewal prices have been competitive.

Having to trouble shoot adding a computer and user to the domain, which required disabling Norton momentarily. No warning or log entry were apparent and it took several hours to solve the issue. Slightly annoying web pop ups can occur infrequently and intermittently but only impact on productivity for the time it takes to close the browser tab.

The dashboard is intuitive, and it provides clear status updates on your system's security. This makes it easy to schedule scans, set up automatic updates, and customize security settings to suit your needsAlso, as an IT lead,, I appreciate that Norton's minimal resource consumption ensures our systems run smoothly without significant slowdowns, even during scans.

There have been instances where the software flagged legitimate software or websites as potential threats, causing some disruption and confusion

Norton AntiVirus has provided one of the most impressive security suites on the market for many years. Their current version maintains their status as industry leaders. My systems have been threat free and kept safe which is why I have continued my subscription service over around 3 years.

I run an artist website offering personal commissions and am essentially a starving artist. I have a small team and times are particularly tough. This is a subscription based antivirus package and the annual running costs while not the highest, are not free.

I swear by this software, and have been using this for over 10 years. Software automatically sweeps computer and network for Viruses and other malware. The sweeps and scans are thorough and can be used for any date or time.

Price, however, you get what you pay for. I have used cheaper services and still found viruses on my computer. Norton sweeps clean and gets the job done.

The main pro to this software is that its user interface is very easy to use. It comes with different labelled tabs and different large squares with different symbols indicating to the user if they want to run different searches. Not only does it come with Anti-Virus protection but it also helps to optimise computer performance, by allowing the user to use the software to perform disk defragmentations. The customer support for norton is one of the best too as they are always happy to help with any issues, whether they may be installation or compatibility issues.

The main downside to norton would be that it does use up a lot of resources, due to its processes requiring a vast amount of computer memory (RAM) in order to run efficiently.

Norton is THE name of trust when even thinking about your web and internet vulnerability. It has endured the tests that time presents and keep us feeling a little safer. Often a lot safer. I like its strength in actual action when presented with a malware, spyware or virus intrusion. I have considered it the top of the line compared to many others simply due to its rapid discovery and removal of PC and phone threats at a fraction of the cost of other similar software security applications.

I have wondered at times if computer protection was often tied to actual attacks. I'd look at a situation, mostly on the user experience level ( affecting me on my device )and think timing is odd or proximity to the package expiration and random attack are quite close?We all have been there. And for a bit of time I'd make a connection that wasn't true. That is my largest dislike-the time involved...

I liked the Norton Anti Virus because it was very easy to use and had a very user-friendly interface. I also liked the fact that it was very customizable, and I could choose which features I wanted to use and which ones I didn't. Overall, I thought it was a great antivirus program.

There are many types of software, but some of the most common are: -Operating systems: systems that control the basic functions of a computer -Application software: programs that allow users to perform specific tasks, such as creating documents or spreadsheets -System software: programs that manage the computer's resources, such as its memory and processor -Network software: programs that allow computers to communicate with each other

Protects our computer, tablet and smartphone against viruses, malware and many other malicious virus attacks automatically. There is also a component of the Norton antivirus that protects our privacy and our online confidence. I consider this to be a very good feature. Norton antivirus is very easy to use. You don't need to be a computer expert to use this product for your protection. Regarding the integration, I can say yes, it was very easy. All you have to do is download the antivirus, install it and everything works perfectly.

One of the weak points of Norton antivirus is that sometimes it takes a long time to open the program. uYou can be in a hurry, and it takes you a few minutes to start. That doesn't always happen, but it happens many times. Many users who are using the software report this slowness. For me, there is no difficult aspect to manage. Integrating software like Norton is not difficult, at least for me. It's going to depend on the type of Norton you use.

I have been using this software for more than 3 years, i have it in my personal computers at home and all my family have it in their phones. Not only provide security it also is a good way to protect your passwords.

What I least like about the product it is that sometimes the webpage manager is not that user friendly as you expect it should be.

I would like to add sensitive access in open public internet cafe where authentication can access any personal files or secure data online with sufficient security through google lens or otherwise portable mobile device. Once authenticated with my gps information and fingerprint scan on my mobile, the norton secure url can verify the QR code so that I dont have to install any security software anywhere...

Windows updates can be paused if there is any defect happening when users found there is some issues. Usually it takes more ram and the sensitive applications shall be excluded for further analysis that make it virus free. Some additional patches can solve it. It is a newer way of adding security that we can eclipse its vulnerabilities with patches.

Norton has a lot more extra features than other competing antivirus companies,Its has a powerful malware engine and a large range of internet security tools.They have an advanced updated malware to identify malware like Ransomeware and Cyrptojacker. It is top notch with little to no slowdown.It is one of the most user friendly options with VPN. password manager and identity protection.When it comes to your security.It covers a wide range of protection for all your Windows,Mac,Androids as well as any IOS device you have.Nortons has online back ups,firewall,protection from spyware and phishing.They also includecloud data allowance and a 100% protection with a promise for a full refund if the infections cannot be removed.

Disadvantage to Nortons antivirus is its more expensive than it's competiters,is it only covers viruses,unless you sign up and pay for the firewalls and you have to remember that your disk drive is getting used and can wear down because it is running all the time and the amount of RAM which can cause other programs to slow down.I have found the time it takes to do a complete scan the first time can be very long and if you are new to technology,this can be frustrating.another downside can be uninstalling,If you attempt to remove Norton Antivirus,the uninstallation process proves to be difficult because it leaves traces of the program and continues to linger on the hard drive,this is where their competitors are ahead.

The word "Virus" is a common one used regularly these days. We all have experienced a life changing , sudden attack of a virus that has left us in deep despair. Fortunately, in our commercial lives, Norton Antivirus has come to the rescue. It is possibly one of the most user- friendly, comprehesively secure and well laid out antivirus software available at a an affordable price. There are number of...

The high usage of RAM may cause programmes to slow down sometimes. Customer support needs to step up!

We constantly scan any files that we download as a business. We trust the Norton brand because we take security seriously. I trust and download products online because I know that the downloads are virus-free. It is easy to navigate the tool, and all viruses are easily detected and eliminated. The Norton AntiVirus was easy to set up and use. I feel safe when I download any type of content. Whenever I download something, I get a notification letting me know it's been scanned and is safe. I downloaded the free trial and was really happy with how quickly I got my account set up and started using it. It would have taken me hours to try to find these files on my own, now it's easy.

Sometimes it can be a bit complex to use as there is no manual to navigate the program, for less tech-savvy people it may be a hindrance. The customer service for this product is not worth the renewal. I had a terrible time with the customer service rep who did not speak English, and when I asked for a supervisor he denied me. It takes a long time to setup, and so requires some patience to complete installation.

Wonderful Tool, it is a SoftWare that solves all kinds of problems related to viruses, it also gives you complete protection in: Antimalware, Windows, macOS, Android. Protection of privacy and identity in iOS, it is an excellent Password Manager, in addition to providing you with fast and free VPN, one of the great nobility of this efficient tool is that of Parental Controls, it is like having a supervisor,...

I would not call it Cons rather Disadvantages as it is not centralized, this generates minor inconveniences that are not important since it uses separate and intuitive applications for various functionalities, another drawback is Identity Theft Protection that is only applied to clients residing in the United States of North America, which would be great if it were applied in the same way for any client on the planet. Finally, it is the cost of the Product that varies in price depending on the country in which you reside.
