What is there to say, I have found that buying a new version of Norton from Amazon each year is less expensive than buying a "subscription" upgrade from Symantec itself for some reason.
While it is a bit of a "pain" to have to use the Norton Removal Tool before installing the new version, I like doing it since I end up with all the newest definitions, functions, and actaully save money doing it.
I had some trouble last year when the 2009 version also negated access to my MP3 player driver somehow, and I had a heck of a time getting everything working again. This year's version, no problem. Still Norton, still great virus protection, and an even better SONAR attack identifier included in the system.

I'm giving all Norton 2009 and 2010 antivirus products a 1-star because of their "software-as-rental" policies.
I thought the 1 year subscription period meant that automatic updates would no longer be provided, but that otherwise the product would continue to work OK.
Wrong.
The software stops working and disables itself, unless you pay the yearly renewal fees, which are much higher than so-called "buying" the next year's version.
Imagine if Windows stopped working, unless you kept paying yearly fees to Microsoft, forever.

My new netbook came with a trial subscription of Mcaffee already on it. It seemed like every 10 minutes it was reminding you it was going to run out and prodding you to fork over big bucks to continue the protection. My neighbors son installs all the computer systems for the public schools here and he recommended Norton instead. I'm glad I took his advice as Norton doesn't slow down my little netbook like the Mcaffee did, it also cost less than half as much. Once I decided to go with Norton I started shopping and found Amazon was the cheapest. The download was super easy and everything worked out great. It works quietly in the background and does what it said it would. This was a very good purchase for me.

I have been a Norton customer for many years, but will never again purchase a Norton product. When the product suddenly stopped working, I followed the Contact Us link on the Norton website in search of the support phone number. This was only the beginning of my problem.
First of all, there is no phone number posted on the website - you must submit detailed information via an online form and only then are you provided with a phone number and "Priority ID". Next, you call the number and enter the priority ID from the previous step. Next, you go on hold and wait. And wait. And wait. In my case, I waited over 75 minutes on hold before finally giving up.
In case you decide to purchase this product, I recommend praying that you do not experience any issues, since technical support is non-existent.

My new HP laptop (with 64-bit Vista) came with a Norton subscription. It worked for a while, then I got an error trying to update the definitions. I was relieved that the Norton support site listed the exact error description along with a remedy, but after going through their tedious procedure (to the letter) it *still* wouldn't download updates, giving me the same error message! What a HASSLE!
I uninstalled it and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which works great! (Note: MSE *does* verify that you have a legitimate copy of Windows before it will install.) Put your credit card away! Just search for "Microsoft Security Essentials," download and install it, and you're done! It automatically updates its own definitions daily and it looks cool, to boot: a little green icon with a check-mark on the task bar assures me that all is well. It caught a Trojan from a bad website trying to install itself.
And the price is right! :^) I would have paid more for the Microsoft product but it's FREE!

Well if you like that sort of thing, you should love this software. First let me talk about the minor problems with the software. I installed the software, ran the full scan every couple of weeks.
One day about a month ago, I was simply surfing the web, not downloading any files or anything. I started getting messages popping up at the bottom of my screen. It turns out a Trojanfake had penetrated the Norton's security. I opened The Norton window and the Sonar was turned off.
I went through a full system scan removed the virus. A week later, same thing all over again. It's another Trojanfake, but this time it has Norton's logo and company name threatinng that I had a trial version of the software and I would need to pay to download the full version. This is total BS. I purchased the full version here on Amazon.
So again, removed the Trojanfake. So I remove Nortons utilites from my computer and reinstall. Now, everytime I do a search on Yahoo or google, I get a message an attempt to penetrate your computer was blocked. I finally removed Norton's for good and installed Vipre.
I ran a full scan with Viper and bingo it finds another Trojan that Norton's couldn't find. My computer is running very fast now and no problems, since removing the Norton's software.
DOn't buy Norton's Antivirus, you will regret it.

I'm wondering why this item shows up to be reviewed...
being as it's worthless after 2010 is past history, as it's only good for one year.
But, I did use it back then, and it worked well. I had no real problems with it. Read more

Say NO to Norton
Norton anti-virus CONSTANTLY bothers you and eats up a lot of memory. Anti-virus software should run in the background and not bother you all the time. Go with Kaspersky.
