I have been using Norton 360 since 2009 and never had a problem. I was unhappy to learn that there was only one more year for Norton 360 and it had been downgraded from the one I knew and trusted. Now for the product at hand. Do not install it unless you delete whatever Norton security that is on your computer or it will do it but it will lengthen your install by about an hour. The install itself is pretty straight forward. and I have installed it on four computers, one each of Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Saw no real difference in the installs and it works well on all. I can not comment directly on whether as some have said it takes less resources and your computer in turn runs faster. Mine does, but I made other changes at about the same time. Due to this I can not say whether it was totally Norton. Like all Norton products, it goes about its business and protects your computer. I have it set up to automatically scan the computer which I never did before and it seems to work well. Unlike Norton 360 which told you when it last updated the virus definitions, it only tells you they are up to date or not. I had to call Norton to find this out as it is not obvious at least to me. You loose the ability to do Registry cleanup which was great after you deleted a program. Everyone who buys this product should complain to Norton, maybe they might put it back as it should be. The best thing is that it can be used on any wired or wireless product you have.
