One hell of a mistake
Okay, i'm up to date with modern technology and a bit behind when it comes with virus protection, lets say not as experienced as some and probably one of the youngest to comment on a product. I currently am using Norton nternet Security and thought about buying this product. But one word of advice you should consider. At the start the sign up to "Norton" is free. For a whole year it will do its job successfully, it does benefit from a simple user interface and isn't doesn't regularly demand attention. Its good for that i sing its praise. But after one year of the product, exactly 365 days. The product basically turns off. Its still monitors the basics but no longer recieves updates, so the risk is the same as before. Then comes the constant pop-up asking for a re-subscription to them. This might sound simple and it is, but a waste of money, it asks in the region of £60 for another year, for that you can simply upgrade and buy another anti virus software. But look at the alternatives, some are free like the avg online anti-spyware and anti-virus software. Although, this is a lot simpler to use, with a rather basic user interface, its still successful. I'm not discrediting this product, but consider the fact that it turns into a little virus itself, praying on the user for more money to re-subscribe. So i leave it to you, i personally think the product is effective but annoying after the 365 days of use. I for one will steer clear of this brand of software!! Will you?

Simple no fuss anti-virus protection
One thing about Symantec products is they work, if you just want a good anti-virus scanner that is simple to use and that is simple to keep up to date then this is the answer. The user interface if minimal, allowing you to scan your drives individually or all at once as well as manually running the update program. Other than installing it and letting it run a full system scan every now and then there is nothing to do, the software runs in the background; along with the auto updater.

Multiple system crashes...
I have used Norton Antivirus for years without complaint. I recently purchased the full 2008 version as a replacement for the 2005 version I was using, and it has completely buggered up the PC. Repeated system crashes and super slow performance despite a full re-format and re-installation of all software is now the norm. I would no longer recommend this product.

Awful.
You'd think a company this successful could make anti-virus software that works. But no, it just removes necessary files from your computer, making it unusable. Go for AVG.

Better than previous versions
Just bought mine today.I have been with Norton for 2 years.It scans faster then previous versions of norton antivirus.It also has SONAR technology which picks up suspicious viruses lurking around. Main advantage is that you can use the licence for up to 3 PC'S.Well done Norton!
