recently confronted with the FBI virus. How could this happen ? I'm protected, right ?? Not so fast.
I pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 a year. yet this does not protect me from the FBI virus/ ad to shell out $99 to Norton for them to clean my machine.
Their explanation - well, this is s a different kind of virus; yes, I know- it's one that Norton antivirus protection is useless against. The worse part is I still have no protection against FBI - if I get tit again - "$99. please"...

I have been using Norton 360 for 3 years now without an issue untill this year. I installed the update to two of my coputers, Vista and Windows 7. When I attempted to install on a brand new Windows 7 the problems began. Each time during the install as the program to to "Starting Services" it would crash. After that I could not reboot. If I did a windows restore I could get it back running. I tried numerous times to run malwarbytes, micro trend, Mcafee, and Norton eraser. All programs ran fully and did not find any viruses or malware. I used removal tools to get rid of each install but I still had crashes. I downloaded the latest Norton 360 and it crashed. I reloaded my OS Windows 7 twice and it still crashed. I scanned my ram but it checked out fine. I gave up. Customer service was a joke. They just kept telling me I must have a "nasty" virus and should start over again. Enough! Your product is flawed! Admit it!

THIS IS THE WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER OWNED. NORTON SIMPLY DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER FROM VIRUSES. ALL YOU DO IS RUN SCAN AFTER SCAN TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR SCAM. I HAVE LOST VALUABLE PICTURES & IMPORTANT INFORMATION BECAUSE OF THIS. YOU PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR ABSOLUTELTY NOTHING IN RETURN, EXCEPT HEADACHES, IMENSE STRESS WORRYING ABOUT LOSING VITAL INFORMATION & VAUABLE FAMILY PICTURES THAT ARE GONE FOREVER & NOTHING BUT VIRUSES, RUINS EVEN YOUR BACK UP'S. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL. WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING NORTON AGAIN!! NORTON=TRASH.

*NEVER WASTE ANY MONEY ON THIS COMPANY. MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS, ONCE THEY SWITCHED TO ANOTHER ANTI-VIRUS, PROBLEMS GONE.

IF YOU LIKE TO HAVE ALL YOUR FAMILY PICTURES & IMPORTANT INFORMATION LOST, TONS OF VIRUSES, A PROGRAM THAT DOES NOTHING, THEN THIS PRODUCT IS FOR YOU.

GOOD LUCK IF YOU USE THIS JUNK.

I submitted a ticket to Symantec customer support about two weeks ago and still have not talked to any tech. I get their first layer of people and they say my case is marked as critical and I am at the top of the list for a tech. I have been on hold for over 10 hours now and have not been helped. I have been hung up on at least three times. They have a great product, but when you need help. Good luck.

I was by told by Norton Support that in order to file a complaint with their customer service department about their lack of support, I had to provide a time and date for their customer relations department to call me back.

Still waiting on that call back! LOL
