5.0 out of 5 stars Norton 2010, December 19, 2009

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Product disables itself unless you pay yearly renewal fees, November 29, 2009

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.
