There is Norton's Internet Security, up to 3 PC), Norton's Internet Security Deluxe (up to 10 devices) , and Norton's 360 with LifeLock(up to 5 devices, also offers more protection, monitoring of your credit cards, reports any changes in your personal information, also offers reimbursement of lost funds up to a certain amount. ) Has anyone used any of the three? Norton's is having a sale and all 3 seem very reasonable in price, you can chose whether or not to subscribe for one year or two. My husband and I were not happy with the last anti virus/ internet security we had. Any experiences, or suggestions you have, would be appreciated! Thank you!

(14,492 posts)such as them changing the product names almost every year, LOL. Although I bought a CD-ROM each year for many years, they quit making the CD version and now I buy renewal codes through Amazon. For example, right now I can get Norton 360 Deluxe for $30 whereas Norton wants $40. Their partners (Amazon, NewEgg, etc.) will send you a code to enter into Norton's site and you also get to download any recent updates to the base software at that time.
I do not use annual auto-billing or rent the service. I buy each year when my subscription expires.
It sounds like you're already familiar with this site for info on the products: https://us.norton.com/products?inid=nortoncom_nav_products_products-services:norton-antivirus-plus
If you buy a code (say, from Amazon) you would set up a Norton on-line account here: https://my.norton.com/home/index
(Note the text "I have a partner code" on that page. If you buy from Amazon, NewEgg or another partner, click on that to enter your code and then set up your account if you don't already have one)
I only use it on one PC and could do with the Anti-Virus Plus, but I also provide protection for my son's laptop and his smartphone, so I'll need to renew with the 360 Deluxe. Mine expires in a month but I believe I can buy the code now and the subscription starts the day I enter the code into my Norton account.
Hope that helps!......
