Norton Security Premium

I choose 'activation by post' so received a card with a serial key on. Very easy to setup although i was already using Norton Security so it was a matter of logging into my norton account and entering serial key.Although i don't have 10 devices to use Norton Security Premium on, it's great if i do get anymore, i imagine families will appreciate the 10 devices protection. I bought on Amazon when on offer for £16 which is much cheaper than Norton who wanted £79.99. A huge saving to be had. Works out at £1.60 per device for a years protection at the price i paid.I don't use the 25GB backup as have my own backup system and don't like storing my data in the cloud, neither do i use the parental controls, web browser protection as i have my own setup on router level.I use Norton Security Premium on my android devices, windows virtual machines, i have a mac but don't use norton on my mac. I have never had problems with the software on android or windows it just works although i do like to customise allot of the advanced setting for my own use, although it simply works for novice users without needing to customise anything. No battery drainage/performance issues on android either.Once upon a time i would never have recommended Norton as back in the day their products caused major problems for many of their users but over the past few years the software has matured and is something i would now recommend.I use av-test to check each year which antivirus & security programs are rated highly. av-test is an independent research institute for IT security based in Germany and a very valuable website in my opinion and recommend people check it out.Norton got top marks from av-test:Protection Score 6.0/6.0 (detected 100% of all samples of malware such as viruses, worms or Trojan horses)Performance Score 6.0/6.0Usability Score 6.0/6.0Great all round security for all your devices at a great price, simple installation, non intrusive unlike some other antivirus/security software that can overwhelm users with intrusive popups and asking to to confirm things that some users probably wouldn't know what to choose. Works quietly in the background without hogging system resources.Overall i highly recommend Norton Security (i purchased Norton Security Premium 10 devices 1 year protection), just keep an eye out on prices as they vary and change allot. It's a full security package for all of your devices and there are tons of features to many to mention. If you are looking for full security protection with plenty of features then i highly recommend Norton Security.

I've used Norton for years, it has never let me (or my family) down. However, I find the renew subscription a complete rip off and a friend years ago said you save money by buying it new each year, And you know, he was right. I have saved each year by buying it from Amazon. This year I got it for £25. Norton offered it to me for £39 claiming this was half price. NO Amazon was half price not Norton ! Cancel any automatic renew.DO NOT RENEW - Buy a new version from Amazon. I have copied the following instructions from another review as it was dead easy to follow and I had renewed with my product key within a minute. Some have had problems so this is really easy......You do not need to uninstall / re install Norton.You will loose any remaining days on your existing subscription so only update a day or so before the end of existing sub. I did mine 2 days before hand and due to Amazon's quick service only ordered it with 6 days remaining. I am now up and running.Here's how to get your new key code activated to update your subscription.OPEN NORTON.GO TO THE HELP BUTTON IN THE TOP RIGHT AND CLICK.SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT PANEL and where it says in blue writing - ENTER PRODUCT KEY . Click this.SIGN INTO NORTON (your norton account) if you have not done so already. It will connect with Norton server. Takes a minute. Just wait.THEN ENTER YOUR NEW PRODUCT KEY CODE in the box provided. No need to put the '-' inbetween the numbers this is done automatically for you - Just enter the 25 numbers and letters (blocks of 5) in the box. (or copy from email then paste is easier)SUBMIT. You will see your Days left on the subscription panel will have a brand new year left now. DONE.You have now saved yourself £20 or more.

This edition of Norton Security Premium represents good value for money in that it provides protection for up to 10 devices such as Windows PCs, Macs, phones and tablets etc. for a year. Sitting at the top of the Norton hierarchy of home products Norton Security Premium offers both comprehensive protection as well as up to 25GB of Cloud storage.It's always hard for domestic consumers to really evaluate how effective security products are but Norton together with a couple other brands have been in the top 3 when it comes to protection in most professional reviews I've read. In addition, post installation the package doesn't seem to exert much pressure on my i5, 12GB RAM Windows 10 PC. My only gripe is that there still seems to be a problem in support for the MS Edge browser but as I've stuck with Explorer there's no practical difficulty for me. The Norton interface is easy to understand and updates seem very frequent - often hourly.If I had a gripe it's that installation is made a bit more complex because Norton have changed their product range. For example, if you're running Norton 360 you can't simply enter the subscription code from this package, you have to uninstall Norton 360 and install Norton Security Premium, I appreciate for some of us this isn't a big deal. However, for many users like my elderly relatives this is an unnecessary hassle. Also, I also didn't get credit for the remaining days on my Norton 360 package when I installed this software presumably, as it is deemed to be a different product although, if you ask nicely I'm told this might get fixed.In summary, once installed this Norton Security Premium Package benchmarks in professional tests as least as well as most of the other top brands of security products. This version offers good value covering 10 devices and throwing in some Cloud storage too, however, I think for existing Norton users the transition ought to be a bit smoother.
