This msg. is for your FYI- I received in the mail a postcard from Norton(logo looked authentic, had a serial number & to tell me that my Norton coverage was about to expire Dec. 6, 2017 & they had tried to reach me by email-did not--but were going to charge my acct. $79.99 & I needed to call to "update contact info". I called & my call went to INDIA & spoke with an Eastern Indian who requested to get into my computer. When I could not get to what he was asking me to--I said NO. I asked him to cancel the acct. (that I did not know that I had--always purchase locally & download on my own). The number given was 1-866-573-1867. I wanted you to know this was happening & I believe it was a fake attempting to represent Norton's & needs to be addressed by you. If this happened to me it likely did to others. Please advise

All I want to say is that Symantec - Norton Antivirus. Your product may be average on the market. Your company is a Billion Dollar organisation. Yet your customer service is definitely one of the worst in the world. There is absolutely never a follow up, which is always promised. Even senior customer support lie and deceive.
Even your complaints department are absolutely hopeless and full of lies.
Maybe more legal action against the company might be in order. Very fraudulent actions need to be exposed on a worldwide basis.
All you do is ripoff the consumer.

I have been unable to download my Norton antivirus 2016, even with the help of customer support. They have refused to return my money and stated that someone would call be within 48hrs to discuss, that was 6 days ago. They are now incredibly difficult to get hold of. Not happy at all.
While on customer support, the gentleman I spoke with kept ignoring me when I was asking questions and then he kept asking questions that I had answered several times previously. I really felt that he had no idea what he was talking about and was quite abrupt to me at times. Very, very poor customer service.

I Called Symantec To Find Out About A $40.00 Plan To "fix My Computer" Which They Offered In May, I Was One Day Late And It Now Cost $99.00 And I Said No To It. The Foreigner "english" Speaking Technician Started To Work On My Machine Without My Consent Without My Asking Him To Do It. It Took About An Hour And Then I Couldn't Get Online. I Can Barely Understand These Technicians With Their Heavy Accents, Plus When You Can't Do What They Want You To Do They Get Rude. To Get Online I Had To Restore My Computer To An Early Date Then It Went Online. What A Huge Mess, How Can This Be Resolved When I Need To Talk To Norton (symantec)?

By far the worst customer experience I have ever received and, as a result, I will not renew any services with Norton or recommend them to friends and family in the future.

I have been a Norton antivirus customer for 10 years and have never had any issues with their product. My problem herein lies with the customer service/technical support team employed by Norton. Norton advertises 24/7 technical support--but calling it 'support' is quite a stretch as 90% of these reviews can attest (514 total reviews on 7/12/2016).


I recently bought a new computer and wanted to install Norton's antivirus software on it (I am an existing subscriber with antivirus protection available for 2 remaining devices). I called Norton's technical support number for this rather simple issue expecting it to be resolved quickly. To my dissatisfaction, the Norton support team was extremely unprofessional, rude and went as far as corrupting my newly bought computer.

I explained my issue to the technician [being an existing customer and needing to install software on a new computer] and he asked permission to gain access to my computer. Immediately after gaining access the technician claimed my computer had been infected with all sorts of viruses and mentioned that I will need to buy some other software/services to fix it (mind you this is a brand new computer pre-installed with McAfee antivirus and I have yet to even browse the internet). I had a similar situation happen last year with Norton and their attempt to dupe me so I called the technicians bluff and told him I simply just wanted to install the antivirus I had already purchased. The technician then started neglecting my concerns outright and became extremely rude. As I brought to his attention his poor customer service the technician became hostile, using profane language and proceeded to infect my computer with popups and some music that would not turn off. I immediately hung up as I knew the technician had no real desire to assist me and returned the computer.

It is a shame a company of Symantec's caliber offers such poor customer service and does little to rectify it. Quite frankly, it appears they do not care about the customer or the reflection these events have on their company name.

As mentioned previously, and in case it is not already known, I am completely unhappy with what occurred. I will follow up with emails about this to corporate and the respective agencies that deal with harassment of this sort.

Official company reply

I am sorry for what you have been through, Peter. However, I would like to assure you that Norton support will not provide you such information without running a scan on your computer using Norton. Can you please provide that number you dialed to reach Norton? We suspect that you have reached a third party tech support which claims to be Norton but instead they tried to make you pay for another security product which is not Norton. Please contact us at www.norton.com/contactcs .

I have used Norton for 17 years...I got on the phone today at 12:30 pm was connected at 1:05 then connected online at 1:10 by Gerard Riviera..he was to help me purchase & install my new antivirus on both laptops...he started the process & completed one laptop but the other was left in limbo...simply went black. He had disconnected me on the phone and said he would keep connected online...he DID NOT. I was without any connection to him for over an hour and a half although I was continually sending him notes to re-connect with me or call me so that I could get help. I finally called the Norton support number again and after waiting 35 minutes on the phone connected to another representative who helped me sort out the problem in less than 10 minutes.
3 HOURS AND 7 MINUTES OF MY LIFE WERE WASTED due to Gerard Riviera simply disconnecting me.
If this had happened 17 years ago when I became a customer of yours I would not have continued. As it is I may look elsewhere next year as I am very unhappy with the service.

This is definitely not acceptable. Kindly provide your case number, we will investigate this further and provide feedback to the technician regarding this.

Called Norton support as I purchased the '5 device Norton protection'. After loading it onto just one device it would not allow me to download on a second device.

Support did not answer my question, said he wanted to look at my computer and whilst doing so I started to feel something isn't quite right as he became quite unprofessional in things he said like "Oh my God, I have never seen this before on any computer I have worked on...Oh no you have a Trojan which is 67% active on your network..." Using scare tactics and avoiding my initial reason for the call he put me on hold.

Came back to me saying our senior support team are able to clean that network for you and not to worry. Only after I said well wont that cost me money did he decide to say "yes there will probably be a charge". I asked how much and he said £250!! I said "I cant afford that sorry." and his response was "what can you afford". That's what confirmed my reservations for sure that I was speaking to a complete cowboy.

USED SCARE TACTICS AND DRIVE THEIR OWN AGENDA OF JUST GETTING ANY MONEY OUT OF YOU. DO NOT TRUST THEM. Unbelievably unprofessional and shocking this type of "support" is offered to Norton customers. Any customer for that matter.

I said "No thanks, I am not paying anything...What's your name?" He said "Alex Carter" (with an Indian accent) and I said where are you based to which his response was "You don't need to worry about that".

Complete waste of time and these guys should be investigated further.

I am disgusted

I'm currently using Norton360 with Windows 7 OS. On or about 3/28/16, my T430 laptop stopped running backup through Norton. I contacted Norton Technical Support (NTS) at 855-815-2726 and spoke to Kasim who created case#26637990 but was unable to resolve the issue so I was told my case would be escalated & I'd receive a call back (CB) from NTS within 48 hours. I never received a CB as assured so I called a second time and spoke with Janice (NTS), who went through the same process to resolve the issue as the previous NTS Rep also without success. Janice said she'd escalate my issue and someone would CB within 48 hours. After 72 hours and never receiving a CB as assured, I called a third time and spoke to Pamela (NTS) who went through the same process to try and resolve the issue as the previous NTS Reps also without success. Pamela said she'd escalate my case and someone would CB within 48 hours (by Close Of Business [COB] on 4/4/16). After 72 hours and never receiving a CB as assured, I called a fourth time and spoke to Mike (NTS) who for reasons unknown created a new case#26749754 and went through the same process as the previous NTS Reps to resolve the issue also without success. Mike said he'd escalate and someone would CB within 48 hours (by COB 4/6/16). On 4/11/16 and no CB as assured, I called a fifth time and spoke to David (NTS) who was unable to resolve my issue. David assured me he would escalate my case to his supervisor and that either he or his supervisor would CB within 48 hours. On 4/15/16 after no CB from anyone at Norton, I called a sixth time and spoke to Arlene MTan and requested to speak with a supervisor. John Ray Toniacao Serentas (NTS Supervisor), who did not get on the telephone and instead, connected to my computer remotely. He was also unable to resolve my issue. John assured me over remote chat that he would escalate my issue to the engineering group and either he or someone from Norton engineering group would CB within 48 hours (by COB 4/20/16). After no word from anyone at Norton by 4/21/16 I called a seventh time and spoke to Noel who for reasons unknown created a third case# (case#26883010) and once again was unable to resolve my issue so instead he assured me that he would CB within 48 hours (COB 4/26/16) whether engineering group had resolved my issue or not. After no word by 4/28/16 as assured by Noel I called an eighth time and spoke to Ronald (NTS) and immediately requested to speak to a supervisor. Jenil, who said he had one year experience as a "floor manager" at Norton, then got on call only to tell me the exact same thing I'd already heard the previous seven times (e.g. "please accept my apologies", "I'll escalate this to the engineering group" and "I promise that either I or someone from Norton will call you back with 48 hours"). To summarize, it's been four weeks since my first contact with Norton, my backup problem has not been resolved, there's no end in sight to resolving my issue/case and I've now been promised an eighth time what Norton has already promised and epically failed to deliver the previous seven times. I spent my entire career in the customer service industry and have never experienced anything even remotely like this in all those years. I'm out of patience but my options are limited. I didn't receive a survey I could respond to and Symantec senior level executives, who could help light a fire towards resolution, don't make their contact information available to the general public so I can't bring them into the fold. Any suggestions that could bring this nightmare to a conclusion once and for all would be greatly appreciated!

This has been the worst software purchasing experience in my life. I have purchased over 50-60 different software's so far and this BY FAR was a horrible experience.

First the sales person is selling me things I don't need. Then they transfer me to a re-seller who does nothing but take my order and send an invoice.

Then I ask for assistance in the setup because after trying by myself for over an hour I was stuck in an infinite loop with needing to download Java. To then find out I was sold the wrong product. After calling support and going through 4 different people I am now stuck with a product and its not setup and no one is able to assist me.

The re-seller says: Oh implementation we don't help with that. The sales team sends me to a toll free number and the toll free number says I am in the wrong department.

Then I need to start over. I run a software company and I am not computer illiterate.

To continue this story....

What happened afterwards was even worse. The 4th technical support person realized that the products sold to me were in his words "a mess" that I wasn't sold any of the cloud products I requested. I was sold on premise solutions. I determined this has happened because I called or was transferred to the wrong sales department when I first called Symantec.

The re-seller I specifically told them I wanted cloud as well as the sales person and they knowingly sold me something else. After all of this was said and done it turns out Symantec cloud products are way behind the other security companies. I have since cancelled my order and will never buy from this company ever again. Their service was horrible at each step except for the last support person who was better than all of the sales people I spoke to.


Still waiting for my refund.

Norton Antivirus fraudulently charged my credit card for virus software on a computer that had not been turned on for 3 years. I never signed up for Automatic Renewal and the computer always had an alert asking me to press a button to voluntarily update the software. If I hadn't turned on the computer, I hadn't voluntarily updated the software. Now that I have noticed the charge, Norton refuses to refund my money. They refunded for 2016 but they refuse to refund my money for the previous years even though they acknowledged that the computer had not been turned on since 2014. When I call the support hotline, Eileen promises to call me back repeatedly. Every time she calls, she says that she will call back within 24-48 hours with a resolution. Then I don't hear from her. Norton assigned me a case number and after 7 days, they assign a new case number considering the former case number closed. Norton did nothing for 7 days while I waited for a return phone call and then they closed the case.

You were emailed by me in December of 2015, before the renewal date, told NOT to renew my Norton, this was totally ignored ans charged to my account anyway! Is business that bad that you have to stick it to people anyway? Shame on you!!!! I protest it and get a report that not even a mouse could read! I had a huge magnifying glass and reading glasses and still couldn't decipher what you were claiming! A 5 1/2 inch x 3 1/4 inch size, the font was what .01? I hate corrupt organizations and I will take this to the FBI Fraud at https://www.fbi.gov/scams.../fraud/intern. You were taken off my computer and put it back on recently.

Just purchased Symantec Product and was having difficulty with the download link they sent. I first tried calling back to Symantec and had hard time getting hold of live person. When finally did, he said I had wrong Dept and rerouted my call, to only end up in an endless loop of choices. I then called number sales rep gave for Tech Dept and was rerouted to wrong dept twice. After finally getting to their tech dept, I had hard time understanding person and all the background laughing and talking made it doubly hard. I mentioned it was hard to hear her through all the noise and she ended up hanging up on me.

If I knew this was going to be like this, I would have spent more time researching and chosen another company. Especially when you see all the negative reviews.

I've been online for nearly an hour trying to get my Norton 360 canceled as the result of a stolen laptop. They won't cancel my service; all they will do is switch the automatic renewal to off. I have tried to stop automatic renewal in the past and somehow Norton always renews it. They say I will get a confirmation e-mail, but I still haven't gotten it. They say they can't cancel my account because US law requires them to keep records. I have no faith that anything will be done. I am sure next May my stolen laptop will be "protected" by Norton 360. If they keep my account active and the crooks manage to use my computer, am I responsible for crimes they commit with it?

I've been a Symantec customer for many years and all went well until this year! I got a new computer and had Norton installed on it and later discovered that my credit card had also been charged to renew Norton on the old computer! So much for "automatic renewal". I went into my account and tried to check "NO" for automatic renewal and was unable to do so. I was scammed on the new computer and I'm still wondering why Norton didn't catch that since they were supposed to be protecting it. I called Tech. Support and talked to a woman with an East Indian accent and informed her that I didn't want automatic renewal any longer and she said that I would then be responsible for calling them every year and requesting the renewal. Whatever happened to billing a person? (If they were a magazine company, I'd have gotten many bills in the mail by this time). I sent an email to them, using the email address I had gotten when I first
got Norton. It was obsolete and I haven't been able to find another. I do not want to go through another phone experience like the last one. Since the scam, I have a new credit card account which I don't want to share with Symantec and since I'm unable to reach them by any means other than telephone, I'm letting Norton run out on Halloween (Trick or Treat!) Oh, and they're now trying to reach me online IN SPANISH which I do not understand at all. Worst customer service I've ever encountered. Bye Bye, Norton!

Worst support ever. Our BE isn't deleting expired media sets (with no dependent sets) in a BE2014 B2D folder.

The technician told me that the sets on our B2D folder weren't being expired due to the tape media set not expiring yet. Then proceeded to tell me that DLM won't expire the sets for another 4 hours, despite them being expired yesterday and manually expired (which according to Symantecs own articles says should trigger an immediate run of the DLM proecess).

I had to ask in excess of 5 times to get it escalated wasting in excess of 1 hour of my time.

Great customer support after I tried a 2nd time.. First person was unable to find my backup of identity safe cards after losing when upgraded to win10.. 2nd time I contacted I was extremely impressed. Spent a great deal of time looking and digging for it and finally was able to restore.. Kudos to Suman & Jithin for their extra efforts.

I had three machines that was haven issues; he was very courteous responsive and very pleasant, it made my day. He should be rewarded for his dedication to your company, he work simultaneously on multiple machines at the same time, keeping my abreast of the status, I am totally impressed.



I will say, when I initially called and received an automated message directing me to your website, I was very disappointed. I did call back and pressed zero and got a person, who directed me to the right person.

Last night, I wrote about my frustration with being unable to close my NortonLive Account. I'm now happy to report that either as a result of what I posted here last night or what I told the last person I spoke with at Symantec did the trick and as of 6:03 PM today (Oct 19, 2012) my NortonLive UHD Monthly Family Plan was closed for me. I am grateful and appreciate whoever made that happen.

PS. The NortonLive Service itself was a lifesaver and necessary during the time I had it and it kept my 2 old pc computers running. I was happy with their service and only wanted to cancel because I had purchased new computers, transferred all my data from my old computers to my new ones and no longer needed their service.

I had a fantastic experience with Norton 360 tech support tonight. I got the phone number from the program on my computer. I got through immediately. The tech was very patient talking me through the process of giving him remote access on a VERY slow laptop. Once connected, they spent over 2 hours checking for and correcting problems and loading a new 360 program we'd already purchased (the current one expired in a week). They were very courteous on the phone and on-line. Staples was going to charge me $150 to get rid of the viruses which they said Norton 360 missed and $90 for a different virus protection program. Norton 360 techs fixed the problems and installed the new 360 program and it was all FREE!

Nilsgorette Tabiosa was amazing! He just spent almost 3 hours fixing my Norton installation after it stopped working. I can't say enough good things.

I just worked with Nilsgorette Tabiosa and it was great! He answered all my questions and heled me out a lot. Very knowledgeable about the product and helped me every step of the way. This guy needs a raise!

I was told I had a keylogger by some scam guys trying to sell me something. I had paid for Norton anti-virus. I did have to wait for a 30 minutes until I got someone but finally got someone who was obviously from India but was very polite and helped me quite a bit. They got the computer cleaned up and working. Now, this was just today but I am very happy. The rep was nice and polite and her supervisor that came on at the end was nice. I paid for the entire service but I could not remember if I had or not and Norton told me I had purchased the entire package and had anti-virus protection. If they were scamming me, they could have lied and I might have believed them. So far, I had a good experience.

I thought this went pretty well. Norton has some known issues and my guy knew what to do. Took a while to connect but hey, that is the problem with known issues.

I would like to thank Partha Roy for the EXCELLENT help I received for my issues with Identity Safe today. It was greatly appreciated and was handled with great friendliness. Was not painful at all.

I would just like to tell you that I had the most intelligent, nicest man to deal with today. You are so lucky to have such a guy. He solved all my problems in great time. Because of people like him I will never have anyone else but Norton. Thank you!

5/23/12. I just dealt with Srinivas Ponnaganti. He was so amazing. He spent major time with me fixing a very unusual problem(thanks to HP!). I'm sorry & depressed to read about the employees who aren't happy & treated badly with this company. Tech support specialists like Srinivas, deserve to be treated like the company is happy when employees go above & beyond. This is when employee incentives are deserved!!!
By the way, the ratings below refer to my experience today with Srinivas Ponnaganti!

I just had a chat/support session with Tejendra Reddy starting 11:43 AM finishing at 12:19 PM. She was such great help to me. She actually remotely accessed my PC and cleaned it all up for me...To me this is amazing. I have an IT guy at work, now I feel like I have one at home too. Thank you soooo much for having Tejendra there, she is a great asset to your company.

Symantec's customer service is awesome. Due to computer problems I wanted to restore my system using Norton Ghost 12. Not only did Symantec provide remote computer technical support and run the backup, the service was done on a weekend and at no charge. Needless to say I am very pleased that Symantec values the customer relationship and provided support for a legacy product.

I called Norton for support and i had errors .
I spoke to a guy from India and the support agent was awesome .
And its the best service that we can get from the technology.
Indians are the knowledgeable people .
And posting about India is unfair.
If you all feel that we dont understand English then its not our mistake .
Its your mistake that you have to learn English.
Indians are the only people who speak different languages.

Been using Norton for many years by now, i must say the new version of Norton is the best antivirus services available on the market. It is very compact, light yet powerful. Found many threats on my PC and prevented and deleted many threats and viruses.
Customer service is pretty good, they are all well trained technically by symantec. Yes, there is an issue with call waiting, they must solve it.

OK - I did have problems. Some sort of Trojan Virus did get by Norton, but . . . . . I contacted their support team and between the two of us, the virus was irradiated and its 'damage' repaired. Such is life. By NO MEANS am I upset with Norton that the virus got thru. Virus makers are bastards pure a simple. Norton was there to help (and they helped me very efficiently). The Techs that I worked with are Kasari Peyyati (part time) and Naveen Kumar V. (most of the time) They did a great job and for that I am thankful. KUDOS to Norton !!

My subscription was expiring, so I purchased a one-year renewal subscription. I was surprised to see the day after my "old" subscription ended, that my computer was at risk. After trying, unsuccessfully, to "fix" the problem myself, I called customer service and the glitch was resolved in a matter of a few minutes. It appears that my computer was not recognizing my new product key number. After I entered it, it was accepted, and I was in business. Thank you EUGENE for your assistance!

I have just had the most wonderful experience with one of your technicians. Unfortunately I forgot to write down his name. Everything he did for my computer worked out so very well and I just want to thank him so very much for all he did.

I was a Norton tech support exec and i have just gone thru the comments posed by you guys..
First thing is that YOU guys lets us know that u r not a tech savy.. on the contrary., you will not leave us to work in the computer as well.You dont even know the name of the opearting system that you have in your computer .. you are dont know how to open the Norton program.. then how the hell do you think that we can help you..

Secondly.... You will change your Email address atleast two months once.. you will call us to get a refund a billing which is registered under an Email address which is atleat 3 or 4 years old and the funniest thing is you dont remember it also...have we ever told you that we are not going to process a refund... God!!!!!

Thirdly... you dont nothing about the pop up that you get .. you dumbly click on it and you get a virus which is your mistake and you call shout at the tech for having a virus in the computer which obviously got in only because of the reason that you clicked....

finally.... You shout at Norton for not hiring Americans as support tech.. for your information .. No American tech is ready to work for ten hours (with halfan hour break ) for a monthly salary for 250$.. and they would not stay calm .. sitting like a dead duck when you shout at them with F's and B's...

Try to understand that we are trying to help you and we are striving to protect your computer..
