Think it does by the look of it , thanks will update it
Good pickup, but unless its 'pay $98, get back $100', I'm not touching it :>
That is right.
The OzBargain standard for Norton products is that you have to end up in front for it to be a deal.
(you pay $98 , get back $70 )
No
You get $30 back via promo
And then would need to buy something from Harvey Norman's overpriced merchandise for $40 with the gift card
I dont think the $40 gift card applies on this purchase. You need to purchase first before getting the $40 gift card.
Says cash back available for v1. Is this v1?
not to mention it is norton … eeewwww!
Highly recommend AVAST anti-virus and it is free.
I wish nortons would just flip off and die.
plus a voodoo doll with your wish to make it happen
Norton Haters, I understand. But have you used it recently to say it's crap. At least try the trial version and see how smoothly it runs. Been using it since 2 years never give any problems for me. Just a thought
norton is not crap but it is not worth $68 (the $40 gift card is not exactly worth $40 since you have to spend it at harvey norman), this is no way a bargain.
So Norton works now without hogging hundreds of megs of memory and crashing/hanging repeatedly?
Well I am over-friggin'-whelmed.
That's one requirement for an antivirus software.
Here's another, real-world detection rates (where Symantec still fails miserably):

Honestly, just stick with freeware alternatives (MSE + Avast/AVG/Avira/Comodo/ZoneAlarm + Windows Firewall) unless you want to shell out a full $100 for a Kaspersky license, which is a marginal improvement over the rest of the mainstream AV vendors.
"Been using it since 2 years never give any problems for me."
It's probably also missed any serious viruses/trojans you've come across in that time.
Funny you should say that… i've just had unexplained OS freezes and hangs which I hadn't been able to sort out for a couple of months. I've just uninstalled Kaspersky and all of my crashes/freezes/hung OS have disappeared.
You have a crapbox. That is all.
I use Kaspersky on 3 comps, they're both fine. P.s. license bought online, $25 for a year is not too bad..
chuckle yeah… I have a crapbox.
Try googling: windows 7, kaspersky, freeze… tell me what you find.
Just incase it's too hard for you:

Nice crapbox… not surprised it can't run Kaspersky
Ahh… I understand now… Kaspersky will only run on pre-built rubbish from HP or dell.
I also wanted to know… you said:

What happened to the 3rd computer, as you installed in on 3 but only both are fine?? :P
That one is disused, pre-built rubbish from HP, a freebie, but when it is used, it doesn't hang.
Other 2 are asus laptops (Arrandales from 2010). Pre-built rubbish again :)
But they can all run Kaspersky without OS hangs.
I'll tell you what does make my comp pause for a good 5-10 seconds - friggen ORIGIN. Without fail, everytime it starts up, whole computer looks like it got frozen in time.
100% agree. I have 2 years on mine from all the cashbacks. Since Symantec bought it, it is so much better. Picks up stuff that trend and MSE missed.
Again this is my personal thought and experience, prevented heaps is intrusions and worked well for me, and always picks up Trojans, blocks Malwares . Again I don't go with reviews. Av says good about their products and vice versa. Most of the Norton Haters get there experience from maybe 5 to 6 years ago and never want to return it which is fair enough. But when a product is improved, it deserves a shot.
I'm not going to comment on the AV detection rate etc for this product, however, based on my experience with the various products mentioned before, Norton 360 has so far been the 'easiest' all inclusive AV/Firewall/tuneup tool for many of the less tech savvy in my family. That includes my parents, siblings etc.
At least from that stand-point this has/is a product worth looking at.
If you're looking for something that just runs in the background and does its thing with as little user interaction as possible and as few intrusive pop-up prompts as possible then Eset NOD32 is basically Norton 360 minus the heavy resource usage and piss poor detection rate/high false positive rate.
It's a very small, light-weight and user-friendly AV.
Most Norton Haters had crappy machines to begin with. Those Scrooges should have bought a cheap RAM instead of whining on about it for life. Bloody hell I would have bought it for them ;).
I'm not objecting to Norton on a performance basis, I'm objecting to it on it failing to do explicitly what it claims to do, and that is find and remove PC security threats.
It's so far behind the curve it's unreal, go look at those AV comparison benchmarks I posted above.
Beware of AV reviews and who are they sponsored by. Check other reviews for the same periods and will see what I mean.
Using it for last 2 years and love it.
Good deal to have 5 devices including : PC, Mac or mobiles. Only downside is gift card. But HN do have some good deals in the past specially made for Professionals.
Good to see a popup for chating on their website saying, hello Ozbargainer…… :)
Great deal thanks.
Thanks maxixix
