"Unreliable at best"
Norton 360 stops working periodically, prompting a re-installation. This happens probably about once a month. Half of the time, auto-protect turns itself off, and can't be restarted without reinstalling the program anyways. And it's really hard to

"Sucks - use Avast freeware instead"
Save your money and download Avast - it's free and detected things Norton never found. I was never able to get the Norton updates and the techs sent LONG lists of things to try, none of which worked. Also prevented me from getting Windows updates. A-

"Good... for a while"
Don't waste your good money, get AVG, it wont fail you
PROS: Worked great for about the first 5 months, although I had heard bad things about It, I liked it
CONS: First off the price, a scorching 80 bucks, after 5 months it slowed my internet down to primitive dial up! I called my ISP support and found out the trouble was N360!!

"Frustrating I am beginning to HATE it!"
This is a product that has a good deal of potential however, I think Norton need to step back and have another look at the user interface options. I think in an effort to make the program seamless, they have shot themselves in the foot by not allowin
PROS: PC Tuneup and Eavesdropping Protection are both good.

"Awesome. The Best Out there.(period)"
This is the BEST internet security and antivirus out in the market. I used Norton before but dumped it because of it's silly system resources consumed by it and because there are "better" and cheaper alternatives available, such as NOD32 and Kaspersk
PROS: Nice user interface, PC optimizing, Online Back-up, Transaction Security, Quick SCAN and LIVEUPDATE.
CONS: no invidivual file scanner. Need to restart after Update.

"worse than a virus"
This product is horrible. It takes up a ton of resources and doesn't uninstall properly either. The running of this software is worse of for your computer than most malware.
PROS: not a virus
