Noton are currently offering good discounts. I picked up Norton Security Delux 1 year subscription for 5 devices £9.99.
Norton Delux reduced from £49.99 to £29.99 saving £20.00. Search online for Norton discount codes, and you will find a few sites for free Norton disount codes. I found a voucher for £20.00 off. Apply the voucher code on checkout leaving a total price to pay £9.99. I was so happy I purchased 2. Simple

    Just be aware that most of these are 'hook you in' offers - you annual subscription will automatically renew at a full price once the year is up, unless you actively cancel.

    Yep, Norton is a resource hog and is no better than a freebie like Avast.

    Having 5 Laptops, 1 PC, 4 Tablets in the house the licences soon went.

    We all have our own preferences and they are others on the market but I think Norton is the best, each to their own.

    I have used Avast before and yes It is good and free. When I took if off my mobile and installed Norton it flaged up a lot of issue's that Avast never found.

    Norton technical support is excellent. Any issues you have and can not fix, they can remote desktop and watch them fix it for you.

    fixing computers with viruses, the worst affected have Norton or no AV. Computer magazine tests recommend either Kaspersky if you want to pay £19.99 for 3 licenses or Avast free - rated as almost as good as the best paid for AV and better than most.

    Norton is no better nor any worse than most snake oil, unless you count all the ones that you can count on.all you fingers toes, and those of your friends and family. Best advice is to disable the left click on your mouse
