In 1991, after NortonLifeLock acquired Peter Norton Computing, the company launched Norton Antivirus as prevention for the hundreds of foreign virus strains and PC malware that were becoming more and more common. NortonLifeLock's antivirus products have further developed to include malware prevention and removal, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and PC tune-up tools, among other services offered.

Norton has been a market leader and it shows in their quality of software services. I have trusted Norton and they always come through? I wouldn't think of any other service. Ever!

I've tried a lot of different internet security companies. I've spent a lot of money trying to protect our internet signature from cybercriminals. We don't have much to offer when it comes to theft, but it's nice to know we're protected whenever we log onto the internet. Since we use streaming services and connect via our phones, laptops, and computers, you want something that will identify and isolate any threat. LifeLock monitors for identity theft and threats. It's that simple. Also, with LifeLock you don't have to use Norton 360 to get it separately. You can use other antivirus software with LifeLock as an added bonus to personal data.

I trust using Norton to keep my PC's safe, I can always find a great renewal price and they have excellent customer support. What I don't like is the automatic renewal plans that you have to select in order to get a lower price. When it renews it Always renews at a much higher price than the year before. So be careful with this option, and turn off auto renew or ask to be notified with new price before it renews.

My experience with nortonLifeLock has been amazing. I have been a loyal customer for over a decade now when I first bought my big, real computer. Although there have been various attempts at malware downloads onto my device, Norton has always had my back. I will continue to be such a good customer in the future because of how good their services are.

My son was the one to teach myself and his dad about how great Notion was to keep all our information safe and protected. We talked to Norton on the phone and they gladly and so friendly answered every question we had. We were wanting to make sure our son was really aware. He was right they were perfect, helpful, wanted to prove there the best or we could get our money back. We loved what we heard had nothing to lose. It was the Best experience ever!!!!

NortonLifeLock is the most thorough online personal protection system that I have ever used.

Awesome product!

Norton has protected our family computers successfully for years. I like the family option that allows me to protect several computers for one price. The updates and scans run senselessly in the background without effecting function.

We used Norton security for our home computers for several years. As far as I know, the security they provided was adequate, but we stopped using them because their customer service and billing were so unethical. For example, the automatic renewal happened every year, even when we canceled it and spoke to them on the phone to confirm; it took multiple phone calls for them to actually solve the problem even after they said it was fixed. After canceling, they still billed us for a new year several times. Our experience was that they hoped customers wouldn't notice the renewal, even after they had a new computer security provider and that the billing could go on undetected.

Have only used NortonLifeLock once before, but I wasn't all that impressed with the service they provided. Seemed to slow my computer down a bunch whenever it was installed. At least not enough to renew a subscription. Would try it again potentially, but just wasn't impressed enough to go back proactively.

I have been a Norton customer for about 10 years. Every single year they have tried to increase the amount of money I pay for their services for the exact same services.
