Norton Deals & Offers

Any idea what the other company is like, interest in IS? Good track record, etc.?

Broadcom bought them for $10.7 billion then 5 months later sold the cyber securities division to another company. No idea what that means really but I doubt they'll stop selling Norton antivirus anytime soon... it must make them millions still.

I take it Symantec were taken over?

It’s been an absolute shambles. No communication, no support, badly integrated products and a focus on huuuuuge corporations. Investment won’t be going into a consumer product so this will just go downhill rapidly.

Care to elaborate?

Perhaps post as a deal as I've expired this? The one year option is on amazon (although not sure if the sellers meet the hukd listing criteria?)...

If anyone happens to still be looking for Norton 360 it's available here at £29.99 for 2 years cover, 10 devices, including VPN and 75gb cloud storage. https://store.computeractive.co.uk/p36210-norton_360_premium_10-device_2-yr

Thanks for all your help...

Just search on Amazon!?

Not sure, i think you can certainly turn of auto renew without any problems...I have one without VPN and backup and you do need an account but no payment details.

I agree with all the calls here not to install this stuff, unless you need the parental controls. Anti-virus software used to be essential, it isn't now with Windows 10 as it is built in. They peddle this stuff as a way to keep you "safer", but industry tests show that there is little/no difference between these products than Windows own built in protection. I used to use free alternatives, but there's no need now with malwarebytes and windows defender.

This is me... (y) ...if you have Norton then try to remove it, have fun removing all of it... (confused) :| (mad)

Windows defender and malwarebytes is a nice combination

Isn’t this just to see what your child is up to online that sort of protection or does it actually check for viruses etc as I can’t see that it does?

Couldn't agree more. Also IME far less resource hungry and naggy than paid alternatives, it just gets on with it in the background, which is exactly what you want an antivirus to do. That said, I have heated this deal anyway as those with a young family might appreciate the parental features but anyone else is probably just as good with the Windows Defender they already have with Windows 10...

Dont listen to the people who dont know what they are talking about lol ! Great product but poor deal ...

Stuff like this reminds me why I dumped Windows.

does anyone really use NORTON in 2020 ??? Voted cold.

Not a bad deal but the computeractive deal 5 devices 2 year £29.99 posted is a little better...the annoying thing about this version is you have to put payment details in to activate product even though you’ve already bought a key...you can of course turn of auto renew and detail details but still annoying...

I'd still avoid anything that triggers that many FP's. Disaster waiting to happen.

To be fair, it also won that roundups top "advanced 3-star" award.

The free AV chorus warms up...

Hmm... Too many FP's https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-july-october-2019/

Voted hot, been using Norton for years and never had any problems what so ever with speed, maleware or viruses. Still have over 100 days left on my current deal, otherwise I would purchase.

Same it’s my holy grail! Did you have any luck? I’m hope to pop to my local too

Excellent price 🔥

This is the only gradual tan I’ve found which gives the look of a natural tan, doesn’t leave skin looking streaky or too dark and doesn’t smell too strong either. I’ve still got a full bottle or I’d be heading to my local Sainsbury’s to see if they have it at this price

When an item is free you are the product, make your mind up.This is a steal, my renewal for norton came through at £80 so cancelled and ordered email code from amazon.

Avast is the worst as it spies on you . https://restoreprivacy.com/antivirus-privacy/

Finally a reasoned argument instead of random rants seemingly based on past experiences that are decades out of date!

Symantec/Norton is not doing very well on independent tests. https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-july-october-2019/. Better than Windows Defender, but I would use a more robust product. About performance: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/performance-test-october-2019/

Rubbish it doesnt slow the computer !

How can it be cold?? with your logic you are paying £40 - £41 for 2 years. This is £29.99 for 2 years.

PS It's quite hard to avoid taking the unnecessary "Extended Download Insurance" ComputerActive automatically add to the basket at £2.95 with no obvious remove button. Not quite sure how I got rid of it but scroll up and down from the basket item list, go back and forth and eventually a page with a 'remove' button was revealed. Otherwise v good deal. 10 devices, 24 months - less than £1.50 per device per year.

UPDATE: you CAN queue this with an existing 10-user Norton Internet Security licence - via Norton support chat. I now have 1102 days remaining. They offer the choice of adding the new key to the old licence or vice versa. If you add to the old licence, no action required on your 10 PCs but you don't get the new features unlocked (like VPN). If they add your existing days to the new licence, you have to update the key immediately on every PC but the new features are released. No new software download was required. On the old software it switched to 1 day remaining. You can also buy the new licence twice and stack up an extra 4 years according to Norton.

You can't add it to your Norton account and "queue" the code, but you can simply order and hold the code and use when you're ready? When you purchase, the code doesn't start counting down until you add it to your account.

Good deal...not quite the same but good alternative, still norton https://www.amazon.co.uk/Security-Utilities-Antivirus-Included-Activation/dp/B01AHZA25A/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=norton+internet&qid=1573243568&sr=8-3

They have some solar lights at Aldi this week for £6, so bright too

Nice bit of solar in the darkness of a bunker, ...a poorly picked product name, +low lighting output.

Tried these out of the box...... Very dim!

Costco had 4 for £16 on something similar (looks better and is metal). fyi 15 lumens is more for decoration rather than anything practical.

Thanks op. Excellent deal. Have bought and will be using when my current Norton ends. Have used NIS for years, great software

Strangely enough I really wonder why I bothered posting the deal in the 1st place with your warm receptive open minded attitude. Now I know why I dont spend as much time on this site as I used to..... (y)

And the audience never got it wrong?

Well the audience has spoken - cold.

Nope - are you? Your input is worth a commission - about 10% of the cost of a free AV!

Might get one, I'm feeling flush.

Nope

It will be the cheaper end of the range, good for rentals but I wouldn't buy it. you do get what you pay for, If you have the soil stack coming in from the back go with a back to wall toilet and you don't see all the pipe work look much nicer.

but it means you can not buy online.

Although they supposed to sell to trade only, if you walk in they will sell it to you.

home user is £47.99 on amazon at mo https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Office-Home-users-download/dp/B07FZ5SH9J/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=microsoft+office&qid=1563180380&s=gateway&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&sr=8-5&th=1

I am currently using office 365 personal license across 5 of my devices at home. The link to the news article https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-increase-device-limits-for-office-365-consumer-subscription-users/

Good to know, where did you find this out ?

Good deal! Microsoft has changed how many devices these licenses can be used since october last year. Now this 1 user personal license and can be used up to 5 devices all logged on at the same time. Home license will give you 6 users with each logged on in 5 devices (that is total of 30 devices). However with the personal 1 user license you will just get 1TB of storage.

I just wait for them to pop up on here. Last was PCWorld iirc, I bought 3 years at £50 a year (came with an additional McAfee license i sold to get it down to £40 a year). Before that I had 4 years at £40 but cant remember the retailers. You can stack several years so I just load up when they come up cheap.

I'm glad you make yourself laugh - terrible when no one laughs! As for being a fanboy, I resent that - I regularly look at informed opinion to ensure that I use a top product. There is only one thing false around here - the lies being told by Norton haters who are stuck 20 years in the past.

Humour is subjective. I thought it was appropriate, obviously Norton fanboys won't, shocker. No slowdown (lol) Good one. You sir are one funny individual. You use it on android! (party) Please go into comedy. Norton, the king of false positives ;)

I would too - why don't you post some that are funny? For anyone without an axe to grind, I use Norton on PCs & phones (android) with no slowdown!

I prefer funny pictures.

Why not spend your time posting evidence rather than 'funny' pictures? https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/april-2019/norton-norton-security-22.16--22.17-191419/

I'll skip it. Eric Bana one is the classic

It's a good price although the 4k has been around for a tenner. Infact cex recently gave me £5 credit for the regular bluray!

Scalpers? I’m out off by everything I post going instantly cold & getting moaned at by people because the ‘deal’ I have posted isn’t good enough or they have seen it cheaper but I’m just gonna keep posting. If their deal spot was so good they should have posted it 😝😝😝

There are so many scalpers on here it puts me off posting (fierce)

Good to know I guess. Thanks (y)

Not all of them do it. Most do but some don't.

Post a deal for it (y)

I use these for party bags and lucky dips. Much better than the usual stuff kids get in party bags!

Awesome, thanks. I use these as rewards & presents for my little one, friends & family (y) Cheaper the better cos Lego is expensive! Lo(horror) (lol)

I think someone else posted that deal. I posted this one for 80p and quite a few people bought it at that price. I live opposite Asda so check prices virtually every day. If I see one in the future, I will pm you before posting it on here.

Thank you.

(horror) (horror) (horror) (horror) Wish you’d posted that deal cos I’d have been on that. Sadly it looks like I’m getting a cold deal again ;( ;( ;(

I want one but no co op near me (fierce)
