5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the investment for protection of my computer, November 2, 2011

This review is from: Norton Antivirus 2012 - 1 User (CD-ROM)

I thought it would be interesting to match this program with my existing PC protection program. It was interesting and I am amazed. The Norton program was able to detect huge number of dangerous items during the first scan that had been apparently being missed by the other program.

Norton Antivirus 2011 was designed to protect against viruses, spyware, worms,Trojans, Bots and Dangerous Downloads. While not in any way sophisticated to the level of knowing the consequences of each of the above, all of that sounds dangerous to my work which occupies most of my time. I want it protected to the state of the art! I believe that this program will protect that which is valuable...the material used and stored on my PC.

The cost is reasonable and very user friendly.

What can I say? I've been buying this product so long that it's one of those "must haves" for my PCs. Every year it gets easier and less of a hastle. Just load it up and let it work. I hope this helps!
