5.0 out of 5 stars 2005-2008 Still got a bad taste in your mouth? It's time to return!, October 27, 2008
Honestly I have hated Norton products since Norton 04. The only good thing made from Norton was their removal tool! Every year they consume more and more. More than 1/3 of the computer resources were being used by 07. Show me a virus that does that! In my opinion I would rather have a virus on my machine then install Norton 05-08.

After trying Kapersky 09, Trend Micro 09, Webroot W/Virus 6.0, F-Prot, AVG, AVAST and Norton 09. I am extremely impressed with Norton 09! It's the only one I have stayed with.

Installs in a minute!
I don't believe in installing more than one security (antispyware, antivirus, firewall) program on a PC it will cause problems. I currently have a router with a built in firewall (all routers do have NAT) and the Vista firewall. I didn't need a 3rd party "outgoing" firewall. (If my PC is clean why do I need that?)
If I did want an outgoing firewall I would have bough Norton Internet Security. Keeping it to one security program!

As far as scanning goes it has a built in detector on safe services and will bypass scanning these areas for faster scanning. When your computer goes idle it starts a quick scan in the background. As far as up-to date definitions go it always tells me that my definitions were automatically updated 10-30 minutes ago!

Once installed it did ask me to log into my Norton account, which I was grateful for since I will purchase it next year. (if they remain like 09)
However the registration was easier then Kapersky and Trend Micro. Plus it didn't automatically enroll me in auto yearly purchase like Spysweeper did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Unobtrusive Protection, October 6, 2008
After trying various AntiVirus solutions for my desktop and laptop - I stopped using them due to the obtrusiveness and loss of performance. Instead, I resorted to being extra careful with what I download and from where and ensuring the machines were always behind a hardware firewall.

Recently though I had to copy data from untrusted source on to my laptop and I started rethinking my AV strategy. That's when I gave Norton AV 2009 a try and I found it a huge improvement not only over prior Norton versions but also over other solutions I had tried.

To begin with, I bought this product from Symantec online store. NAV 2009 is a small download from Symantec site and it installs very fast. Enter your subscription number, reboot and you are all set within few minutes.

Next, it starts nearly instantaneously - one click on the task bar icon and it's already there. The definition updates also are very fast and unobtrusive unlike with the previous versions - you will hardly notice.

The user interface is much simplified, with options for running scans, status bars for Antivirus, AntiSpyware , Intrusion prevention and Email scanning. One other useful feature is that the interface shows how busy your system is and how much of it is used by Norton AV itself - I find that when idle it doesn't use any resources and when doing a full foreground scan it consumes up to 30% which is good for a faster scan.

Additionally it allows the scans to be run in the background - in this case the scan will only run when the computer is idle. Which means you can carry on with your work and let the scan do its job when you are not doing anything - obviously it increases the time required to complete the scan but none the less I find it is a useful option.

It also provides a status widget if you are running Vista - but I am not a big fan of widgets.

Oh and if you are running the 64-bit version of Vista, Norton 2009 works just fine.

Overall a very unobtrusive and fast product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Like a knife in a gun fight, December 19, 2008
By Jason (Backwater, Alabama) - See all my reviews
  
Seeing as how Norton is one of the major players in the antivirus arena, one would expect the best. Unfortunately, however, the internet is littered with dismayed users who were infected by some form of virus, spyware, scumware, or malware, and all under the not-so-watchful eye of Norton. With a firewall, antispyware, and antivirus - or as I like to refer the three: hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil - users should be safe.

Before I go on, I want to convey that I'm not a typical user. I've been a programmer, a database administrator, a network administrator, and a member of tech support. I've worked on top secret systems for the military. I regularly use acronyms and emoticons. I've shot-gunned a can of Jolt cola. I DVR "Attack of the Show". I know what I'm doing. While on a work computer, however, I'm limited to my means, and Norton was purchased as the company software. How unfortunate.

My computer was recently infected clandestinely by the Backdoor.Tidserv!inf Trojan. First and foremost, Norton didn't stop the intrusion, didn't give a warning, and didn't quarantine the problem. After I manually ran a full scan (it wasn't recognized during the regularly scheduled scan), however, Norton provided the information that the computer was infected with a high risk, high stealth, high removal, high performance, high privacy Trojan, and the software's action was to "review". In other words, Norton's help was, "Get rid of it yourself." What's the point of having Norton?! What's interesting is that the Norton write-up categorizes this infection as a low risk threat, but the software itself contradicts that concept - inconsistency that jives with the fact that it conflicted with other installed software.

After quite a bit of research online, I ended up solving the problem by deleting a temp file, editing a few lines in the registry, booting into safe mode more times that I care to remember, and downloading Malwarebytes Antimalware (MBAM) and Hijackthis - two programs that seem to do what Norton cannot.

The tragically hilarious part is that while running MBAM, the scan immediately found the Backdoor.Tidserv!inf Trojan, recognized that it was a rootkit driver (thus requiring more work), and THEN! Norton had a popup notifying me that the Backdoor.Tidserv!inf Trojan was on the computer. Like a judge needing someone to whisper case law into his ear while deciding a case, I'd much rather prefer knowledge of competency and ability before laying prostrate to the whims of incompetency.
