Norton 360 is a resource hog
I am a Norton Utilities and Antivirus user from way back in the DOS days. I was actually more of a fan of Norton products. They were great. Reliable. Efficient. They did the job.I migrated over time to many version of Norton products. I really liked that earlier version of Systemworks that ran on W95 and W98. With the Systemworks that was designed for XP, I noted a reduction of functionality. My last version of Systemworks was version 2003. An okay version, but not as useful a...

Good Overall Package
Over the years I have used many Anti-Virus / Anti-Spyware / Defrag programs. I have gone from McAfee to AVG to many others. When Norton first came out, it was by all purposes a "memory hog". On top of that it would spam your computer with countless messages of "invasions" or "attacks". Many of which would be irrelevant. Now fast forward to 2008. Norton has now put all it's products into one nice handy package. While to some it might be Norton Products Lite, I feel that the program as...

should never have upgraded
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) from Norton Works 2003. This version sounded like a dream come true, from fixing and cleaning PC issues up to anti-virus protection and firewall. Well, things seemed great until I turned the computer off--and it didn't go off, which I didn't discover until the next day. seems one CCsvchst.exe file couldn't shut down properly so the computer didn't shut down at all. Turns out everyone is having this problem (it...

So close, but so far
This is my revised review of Norton 360 version 2.0. I previously had given a positive review and my review was rated as "The most helpful favorable review". However, after extended use of the product I have to remove my first review and mark this product as DEFECTIVE. I believe that if the professional review sites that have given this product positive reviews were to run extended trials and followed a policy of revising their initial ratings that they also would drop their ratings after the...

With Proper Setup Runs like a Charm
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) While I can review a computer game after "beating it" - often a week or two after purchase - with Norton 360 I waited several months after installing it to come to any judgement. There is always a learning curve with any serious software product where you tweak the settings, learn what combination works well for you, and so on. I really feel a serious package like this should be tested out for many weeks - not...

An Absolute Disaster - Tries to Do Too Much and Does Nothing Well
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) After using Norton products for years, I'm going to have to start looking for alternate solutions. Symantec's move into the "360" product line has been awful - each version tries to do it all as the name implies, but fails to do anything very well. From the tedious installation to its uneven (and often wasteful) consumption of system resources to a baffling and inflexible user interface to the ha...

Ideal for new computers only!
First, let me just say to those that already don't know: Before even thinking about buying this, visit Norton's website and download a 15-day trial, to see if it works well with your system.It seems to me that Norton 360 is a program with a huge ego: If installed on a new clean, freshly-reformatted PC, it will serve you well. As advertised, these are the features you get with the pacakge:Antivirus Antispyware Email scanning Antiphishing Ro...

Needs A Tweak
I recently upgraded from Norton 360 version 1.0 to Norton 360 version 2.0. I never had any problems with version 1. Since installing version 2, I have received this error message several times: "A Norton 360 process has stopped running. To ensure stable operation, please restart your PC." I contacted Symantec's Tech Support Team via live chat and a support tech completely uninstalled and then reinstalled this program. Today, the same problem resurfaced. I checked several chat boards and other No...

Norton 360 Version 2
This newer version is a REAL DOG. Part of the program, ccSvcHst.exe, keeps taking over my computer, using between 90 to 99% of the CPU resources. It runs in the foreground and grinds any practical use of the computer to a halt. My recommendation is to STAY AWAY from this program -- at least until they get this bug out. It made me click one star, but is deserves a ZERO.

Horrible all-consuming application!
If you want to dedicate your PC's resources to CONSTANTLY scanning your hard drive for viruses, this product is for you.This pig of a product NEVER stops scanning my hard disk. I have it configured for fully manual operation, meaning it should not do anything unless I tell it to. Nonetheless, it is constantly running a scan on my drive, severely using up CPU cycles (50%-75% CPU utilization). Three calls with Symantec tech support delivered the same results. As far as they're concerned, the...
