4.0 out of 5 stars don't be mislead by the 3PC on the box December 19, 2011

By APRIL

Platform for Display:PC|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love norton. I buy about 10 copies a year because I have a lot of computers. I was a bit mislead by this box, 1 user 3 pcs. I thought I could install it on 3 pcs in my home and it would run for a year on each pc. well, it does not. My antivirus protection on my computers expires at different times. I just realized that when you install on the 2nd and 3rd computer, it only allows you the time left on the first computer, which to me, should be clearly advertised on the box, which I could not see it anywhere. I would have bought the other option of it, where they send you 3 discs. I did not realize it was this way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sluggish Resource Hog December 27, 2011

By SmokeRingHalo

Platform for Display:PC|Amazon Verified Purchase

I had switched to Norton back in 2009 when they started getting positive reviews for keeping resource usage at a minimum. I haven't had any real complaints with it until this 2012 version. Ever since installing it my computer runs sluggish & found it was Norton (ccSvcHst.exe) eating up 88% of my CPU just idling, it wasn't even scanning! Norton is quick to report other applications with resource usage but doesn't report itself. I cannot in good conscious recommend this product until they fix this issue & go back to using minimum resources as they did in 2009-2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need October 24, 2011

When we had Internet Security and 360, we never used any of their features. Antivirus is all you need. Installed easily and works behind the scenes.
