It often happens that a warning shows up saying I shouldn’t visit site “A” because it’s unsafe. Problem is, I am not on site ‘A’ and did nothing to go to site ‘A’. So.. what am I supposed to do? To make it worse, this warning pops up in the middle of reading something on a site, minutes after I get to it. I have no clue whar is the app talking about and which one is the contaminated site, as I may have multiple tabs in a browser and multiple apps open at that time. And none of them is called ‘A’. Neither did I get to any looking for any ‘A’. Why not just block access to the ‘A’ and tell the user what site or app they were visiting contains the suspicious ‘A’, oferring the possibility for the user to unlock access to ‘A’ if they chose to do so, despite the warning?
Confusing and unclear
20 year Norton User
Received an email making me aware that coverage mirroring PC coverage was available. Followed link to App Store. Page opened not on Norton Security, but on Norton Password Protector (!?!) Had to search to find Norton Mobile Security. My primary interest is in protection from email and malicious websites. It is not clear at all from the description if this is even a function of Norton mobile security. It seems to be designed for people sitting in Starbucks all day on Wi-Fi networks concerned about their Wi-Fi being hacked. This program needs to mirror the PC version and clarify the description of what it actually does. It also needs to open directly on the application and not five other Norton programs they would like to sell you. I thought Norton cleared up this kind of ambiguity several years back?
Don't be fooled - no VPN

If you think that web protection and wi-fi protection are giving you a VPN, you're wrong. While the app creates VPN settings on your device, and when you turn web protection on the VPN icon appears, if you check your IP address, you'll discover that it's the same as if the "VPN" was off. That’s not a VPN.

If this was a good app they wouldn’t have to succumb to shady advertising (pop ups). Let me enjoy my porn.
Data Consuming

Drains battery and devours data... like more data than any other app (and quarter of the data I normally use total for a month was used by just this app in 2 weeks)

I’ve been using Norton for years and years on my PC and some Norton products on my cell phone. I recently downloaded the security app, after I renewed my Norton for another year, and am having nothing but troubles with the VPN... it interferes with my phone calls; I don’t receive many of my phone calls, but my iPad which sits right next to my iPhone receives the calls and the calls aren’t recorded as missed on my iPhone. It also blocks my text messages from going out to friends with Android phones. Additionally, when I go into the settings and switch off “connect on demand”... about a half hour later, or less, it turns itself back on. It does this continually no matter how many times I switch off “connect on demand” it continually switches itself back on, on my iPhone. I’m running the latest versions of both Norton Security and IOS. I too have the same problem as a previous feedback with landscape mode. It will only display in portrait mode on my iPad. Whereas I like the Security suite and find it for the most part functional, I’ll keep an eye on it to see if these issues improve, in the meantime I have a back-up.
Federal Witness loves the app

I’m a witness in a federal anti- corruption probe and under constant attack from state-level hackers. Some of the complaints in the reviews are clearly man-in-the-middle attacks, so I’m assuming those folks are also of interest to shadowy criminal networks for whatever reason. I find Norton Security to be highly effective in keeping the bad guys out on PC and iPhone. For those with advance security needs, Norton Security is an excellent security product but I learned early on (after much heartache and frustration) that I personally had to reinstall my operating system, take my network offline to restore it to default, create a strong password and enable security tools like firewall, DOS protection, etc., before downloading - using a VPN -and installing any security software. Also, once downloaded, make sure the file you downloaded actually came from the manufacturer. These criminal hackers, many working for private intelligence firms (a la Harvey Weinstein), are experts at creating look alike files that do not really work, as one reviewer described, but infect your machine with keyloggers and all sorts of other crap. I have been unhackable for months now, thanks to these methods and awesome security programs like Norton. If you go offline, start over by reinstalling your OS and securing your network (while not connected to the internet)m, and then run Norton and a VPN on your PC (I used ProtonVPN) you will be much more secure. Good luck.
II think it has serious, very serious problems

II think it has serious, very serious problems. After activating my account my phone acted crazy. I had paid for the use of this application. Anyways after I removed the application my phone quit opening apps and calling people on FaceTime and also it was opening email messages from financial institutions. I think this application is hacked or someone there is a problem.
