Review by Lynn
I’ve successfully used Norton Anti-Virus products for several years now.
So far, I’m really liking Norton’s newest product, Norton Security with Backup. I’ve installed it on 2 laptops & will be adding it to a new iPad Mini in the next few days. It’s very easy to install; you’ll need to open a Norton account - if you don’t already have one…it’s simply your email & a password. After you enter the Product Key, and install Norton on one device, you send an email to another device, open the email on that device & follow the instructions. There’s no need to install the product key again.
Norton Security with Backup backs up a maximum of 25 GB of your personal files, photos, videos, etc. on your PC, but not from your tablets or phones. You choose which files you want to backup.
I don’t plan on using the Password Vault.
If you don’t take the Product Tour in the beginning, you can find it in the ‘Help’ menu on the Norton Dashboard.
When I start up my laptop, I always check to make sure the Norton icon is showing on my toolbar & that it has a green check mark…green means my laptop is protected.nSeveral years ago, when I was using a different anti-virus program (McAfee), I got a Trojan or virus that effectively prevented my anti-virus program from scanning & updating. It took me a while before I noticed my PC wasn’t being scanned for viruses. I’d turn scheduling & updating back on…then they’d get turned off again. So, I always check to be sure my anti-virus program is working properly.
I haven’t had any problems with Norton Security with Backup & will update my review if necessary.
