 Captures the internet August 2, 2008
The Norton 360 is an easy program to load. It checks for updates immediately and begins working right away. I am pleased with the security it provides and the ease of checking any problems it may encounter while I am surfing the internet. I highly recommend it.
 Norton 360 is a resource hog August 2, 2008
I am a Norton Utilities and Antivirus user from way back in the DOS days. I was actually more of a fan of Norton products. They were great. Reliable. Efficient. They did the job.
I migrated over time to many version of Norton products. I really liked that earlier version of Systemworks that ran on W95 and W98. With the Systemworks that was designed for XP, I noted a reduction of functionality. My last version of Systemworks was version 2003. An okay version, but not as useful as 2001.
I decided earlier this year to upgrade to Norton's latest utilities. After all, I was loyal and I trusted Norton. I went with Norton 360 2.0.
Prior to making my purchase decision, I did research the reviews on many sites. I saw mixed reviews that ranged from "works great" to "I had so many problems that I had to uninstall it". The reviews were for version 1. At the time there were no reviews for 2.0. I needed to upgrade to something and decided to take a plunge with 2.0. Remember, I was a loyal Norton user. I figured/hoped that Norton would have addressed the problems and criticisms on version 1. It was Norton after all!
My loyalty and blind faith in Norton was a blunder. This program is a pig. It uses enormous quantities of resources, When it runs scans you can just forget about doing anything else. It often will take a huge slices of CPU time just check the status of its components. It is not a good neighbor with your other applications. When it wants to run, it runs and takes everything with it. It acts like it is the most important application on your computer. Its just a utility and needs to accept that status and run in the background at a lower priority.
It is very difficult to minimize its impact your system. You can set some functions to manual including updates and scans. However, it is always trying to reset everything to automatic. Hit "fix" on one of the warning flags and all of the automatic settings are restored.
I had to go into Task Manager or Services on occasion to kill Norton 360 processes in order to get things done that I needed to do at that moment. If I didn't stop the offending Norton 360 process, some of my applications that did real work for me would not run properly (they would run excruciatingly slow). I can not imagine what users that did not have the systems background would do. They were/are just screwed.
I have decided to go elsewhere for my security needs. The Norton that I trusted and liked does not exist anymore. RIP.
 Norton's got a way to go yet it seems. July 29, 2008

I've been a Norton user ever since the olden days of Apple: The Mac Performa was the first color computer I ever toyed with. I had Norton 6 (I believe) and loved it. It was small, simple, effective. I used the full Norton software on later PCs and found them to be bloated and memory hogging. Not worth the money I paid for them at all.
Enter Norton 360.
I do appreciate the more silent footprint of this new Norton, however, all they did was lessen the GUI's presence. The bloat is still there, you just don't see it. Take a simple virus scan for example: I have a dualcore Centrino laptop and just a virus scan brought the poor thing to its knees. Unacceptable. Also, the cleanup works TOO well, essentially making Firefox "forget" everything even when you tell it not to.
The straw: the heuristic virus protection. It blocks websites that are in no way dangers to your computer, and deletes software programs that are just updates or patches (not warez). It assumes something must be dangerous just because it opens a port to function - guess what? A lot of software might need to do that, including some of Microsoft's own. It's no big deal. IT doesn't even prompt you first, it just takes action.
I don't recommend this. If you need total protection look into McAfee instead.

I set this up on a Vista laptop. Took about 15 minutes and then I had to register with Norton which I didn't appreciate. For a virus program, it doesn't take up too much execution time, except at startup. I usually turn on my PC and then go do something else for awhile so I don't have to sit & wait.
It hasn't caught any viruses yet, so I don't know if that is working. I'm pretty diligent about monitoring my cookies, so tracking cookies are not usually a problem.
If you use scheduled virus scan feature, set it to a time when your computer is turned on & you're not using it, as the virus scan takes us a lot of processing time.
Anti-Spam features are lacking - as is tech support - others have discussed this so I'll only state that they do not exaggerate.
Overall, this is an ok product. I'm not overly impressed, but maybe the next version will be better.
 Better than the previous versions; at least for an online gamer such as me. July 25, 2008

I am a big fan of MMORPG. My biggest complaint about previous Nortons is that when it worked in the background it caused my current game to seriously lag, resulting in my own character's death, if not my entire team's.
Since my Norton subscription was expiring, I decided to give Norton 360 a shot. All the features are a lot like the previous version, which I will not go into detail of since so many others already have, but I instantly noticed that my online gaming is not effected by Norton 360. Nothing lags anymore - for the first time EVER!
I still took off one rating star since the product still has flaws, also mentioned in so many other reviews, but for an online gamer Norton 360 cannot be beat. It can be used on up to 3 computers too, so no need to get a copy for each computer in the home. (That was my big problem with online downloads in the past.)
Terrific product. But again, that is from someone who plays online games. And our online characters are a big deal with us, especially those online games that charge a monthly fee.
