Norton Free Trials: 30-Day Test Drives


You know you need antivirus protection but you're not sure what to purchase. What if you bought an online security product only to discover it doesn't install properly, messes up your computer or simply does not work as advertised? Now what? You could always ask for a refund but there's an easier way: take your time and try different products until you find the one that works for you. For free.

Protecting your computer(s) is more than about avoiding annoying PC crashes or unexplained application behavior. It's about keeping your personal data and identity safe. It's about being responsible and not spread havoc to other computers. There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle when it comes to finding the right program to protect you: do you need a firewall? What about backup features? Should I back up my data on a regular basis to safeguard it even more? Is my system's slow performance due to a virus or to thousands of temporary files clogging up my hard drive? How can I know the difference?

There are many products on the market that can help you answer all these questions but really, you will know for sure only until you have tried them all. Who wants to pay for several pieces of software only to figure out one does the job and does it well? Nobody. That's where Norton Free Trials come into play.

The free trials offered by Symantec on their Norton Security products are of the opt-out type. This means that once you start a trial, you need to specifically tell Symantec you want to stop using the product if you don't like or need it. There will be absolutely no questions asked but be sure to opt out before the trial period is over. Indeed, a credit card number will be required so you can download your trial software, although it will not be charged; the reason you need to provide this is because if you decide to continue using the software after the trial period has ended, you will be charged automatically by Symantec for a full year of subscription, minus the first month that was free.

These opt-out trials are a great way to try Symantec's three online security products, Norton Antivirus, Norton Internet Security and Norton 360. It's really only by using them for some time that you will realize that yes, you like the fact you can back up your data automatically to your own online storage space with Norton 360, therefore it's a better solution for you than Norton Antivirus and  Norton Internet Security. Or that you don't see the point of  Norton Internet Security's firewall over the one provided with your version of Windows, so maybe you can scale down and buy  Norton Antivirus instead to save some money.

There are no risks associated with downloading Norton Free Trials by Symantec. You can enjoy the full product versions of your choice completely free (there are no hidden charges whatsoever) for 30 days and cancel the trials at any time. If you like the product(s), don't do anything. You credit card will be charged at the end of the trial period so you don't have to contact Symantec again to ensure your software continues working as expected.

In this day and age when so many different online security products are available on the market, it would be unfair to let users buy a particular software title only to have them realize they don't need half of the product's features, or that the program is too difficult to operate, or it never installs properly because of some strange application conflict. Users should be entitled to purchase software that meets their needs and that they are comfortable using. Who would want to buy a new car without test-driving it first? Think about it: with Norton Free Trials, you can test-drive Symantec's top products for 30 days. It's probably more time than you need, too!
