My Norton’s Internet Security subscription was up last month and instead of just renewing, I decided to upgrade to the Norton’s 360.
The first thing I want to say about this product is Norton’s falsely advertised this product (has nothing to do with the program), on the website is shows (get screen shot of website) the CD with a box and stuff. However when I got mine it was just a cd. No manual or anything. And DHL did not deliver it to my door but my mail box (which gets ripped off a lot), I did not want it to go to that address but my Po Box but Norton’s would not send to a Po Box because it was being sent through DHL. I though it was going to be delivered to my door. That kind of pissed me off (I’ll get over it, I would be more mad if it got stolen).
Installing it was easy enough. However since I did not have a Manuel I had to figure it out on my own. Good thing I knew enough to uninstall the old version. I also learned that I had to uninstall my Window’s Defender (Just re-install it after you install the Norton’s).
Other then that it pretty much dose everything on its own. you just click “next” and “finished”.
Adjusting the settings is easy to do and understand.
I really like the “back-up” feature, I had never backed any of my stuff up before this (this can be skipped). Do not count on the “virtual” back-up from Norton’s, the 2.0 MB (make sure that is right) is not enough space to store “Bleep”. I do not have a lot of stuff on my computer (photos, files, etc..) and I was over the limit. Of course, you can buy more storage space (I did not even look at the prices for more space). Just get yourself some DVD CD’s that you can burn.

I have only had for a short time but so far so good, I do not regret getting it or anything like that. I will let you all know if something comes up.
