Review by R.Suarez
I have been using Norton 360 for years, renewing as required after some bad experiences with McAfee. My prior Norton 360 license was about to expire when I was offered the 2014 version, which I did not hesitate to order. The first difference I noted is that, contrary to prior installs, this time I had to uninstall the old license to be able to install the new one (rather than simply updating the required files), the whole uninstall/install process took less than ten minutes.
Another thing I noticed was different is that the security ID application is not installed as a part of the whole application, a link will take you to the Norton website where you can download and install. This is one of the features I use the most so for a moment there I was worried I would have to purchase separately.
My experience with Norton 360 has always been great and this time it was not different, so far, there are no performance issues in my laptop that could be associated to the antivirus running in the background (which does happen with McAfee) and the interface is really easy to use and get used to if you are a new user.
I have yet to decide whether or not to install in my iPhone, this is of course an upgrade, as the prior version was compatible with Android only.
1 user that includes 3 licenses is pretty neat for the protection you get; as a part of the package you are also offered backup storage for up to 2GB, this may not be too much but I am certain it will be useful to more than one person. In days in which external drives are the norm, 2GB may not seem as much, but if used to backup essential data that you may need if on the run, well, it may be worth it.
My external drives I only use at home and at the office so it is great to have the protection on to ensure any potential threats are identified. The thing I use the most is the online protection, in the past, Norton 360 has helped me avoid malicious attacks and potential unsafe websites, also the functionality to save all your passwords under a single Norton account is amazing.
I am getting what is offered and to me, that is all that matters: Ultimate piece of mind
