What's great about it: Absolutly Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
I bought this because my old norton virus protector ran out. I installed it & it completely wiped out my internet so I could not access it, my weather bug, my photos, EVERYTHING. So I restored my computer to its previous state. I let a week go by before I tried it again thinking maybe I did something wrong. NOPE, it did it again but this time it was so bad that it wouldnt let me restore my computer. It took me 4 hours to finally get it to let me restore my computer & even then it wouldnt bring back any of my pictures. Do I recommend this? Heck NO. It is horrible. There isent even a phone number to call to get help just a website which doesnt work if it destroys your internet connection. I will not be doing business with Norton ever again. PLUS best buy cant even help you if you have problems with this. Dont waste your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Having used Symantec products at the workplace, I figured I would give it a shot for home use. This is fantastic software, and easy to configure. Got a great deal on it, and so far, virus free. Will recommend to anyone and everyone!

What's great about it: Covers 3 computers for same price.
What's not so great: Like all security programs, it must be replaced annually.
This product seems to perform well and protects all 3 of my computers for one price. Previously, I have had to purchase 3 separate subscriptions, costing more $.

Doesnt do anything. Several computers still got infected with lots of virus's and spyware. Im never buying another antivirus.
Microsoft Security Essentials works a lot better. And it works better with the operating system. It uses less resources and is a lot more user friendly. And best of all, its 100% FREE. There's nothing to but, its completely free and you have access to all options. Real time protection, scheduled scanning, you name it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great ant-virus protection
What's not so great: weak on tracking cookie removal
if you are using a free anti-virus program just remember that saying"You get what you pay for". while there are several programs out there that a good or passing job i want a product that is consistantly top rated. I got this on a big sale for $35 at BestBuy and have 2 computers and 1 laptop to put it on. That's less than $12 each for a year. I also have Norton installed on 3 computers at work. The only knock i have against it is the renewal process. I still had 18 days left so i renewed early figuring it would start when my current subscription ran out. Instead it said you have 366 days left so i lost nearly 3 weeks. The work comps have 60 days left so i will wait to the last day to renew them.
The only thing Norton is really weak on is tracking cookies. It only seems to remove easy ones, so i run CCleaner(yes the free version) once a week to remove another 80-90 tracking cookies. Norton does need to improve here. After all it is Internet security and 80 tracking cookies can really slow your system down.

What's great about it: Easy to use
This is one of the best Security suites that I ever had; I been using Norton Internet Security for more than year, and and I have no complaints.
Is very easy to install and easy to use; if you're not good with computers just leave the default settings in the software, it will give you a great protection.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Destroys computer, eats money, and annoys you
Norton is the WORST antivirus product out there. Many of my friends and family were using Norton and got viruses. Avast free was finding 10-20 viruses that Norton would miss! Its also very obtrusive and annoying. It slows down the computer to a ridiculous pace! Instead of blocking bad things, it blocks what you want to do! Also, if something were to happen to Norton's unistaller, it integrates with so much of windows that you would have to reinstall the whole operating system! Please, do not use Norton! Free antivirus works better!

What's great about it: ease of use.
What's not so great: Disables itself completely so it's not protecting you after subscritpin expires.
In my opinion the software works perfectly, There's nothing wrong with it as it protects my computers just fine. I'm happy to see it helps protect IM's via Trillian now as well!!!
My only problem with it is this.....
In the past, when your 1 year subscription is up, they simply disable the ability to get virus definition updates, and keep you protected from all virus's previously protected from. I just noticed this the last couple years, that now they disable the software completely so it's no longer protecting you at all. They are practically holding your pc hostage.
I would recommend this to a friend!
