This is a good antivirus program. [Posted on 2008-03-31] As always Norton makes a good product. I did have problems downloading it to my computer but the second time it worked. The price was right and the seller got the product to me in a rapid manner.
did not work for me [Posted on 2008-04-14] I could never get this product to install correctly on my computer. It was not for lack of trying. I went to the Norton site and downloaded fixes, etc. I finally gave up. Of course, Best Buy would not return my money unless I brought my computer in and proved to them that it would not install. Other Norton products have worked well for me.
Great product [Posted on 2008-04-17] Found the spyware and virues and removed them all in a matter of minutes. I rave about this product to my friends and family and a few have encountered the same great experience. it's a small price to pay for the level of protection you receive. I have it installed on all my laptops.
Does what I need; maybe a little too automatic [Posted on 2008-04-23] I was previously using Norton Antivirus 2005, which was a great product and I never had any problems. The equivalent cost of a 1-year subscription and Norton Antivirus 2008 (with mail-in rebate) made me update to the new product. It has worked fine, seems to protect my computer. The only downside is it's a little too automatic if you are the kind of person that wants to know what's going on under the hood. I did have to setup some port forwarding rules for MMOs, but other than that, I just get warnings that a program is accessing the internt and a question mark as to what I want to do. The recommendation seems to be "always allow" for everything. With Vista, this warning doesn't ever pop-up on top of the other windows. So you may be waiting for a program, when it's waiting for Norton to allow it internet access. This is an annoyance, but isn't a major problem. All in all, I'm happy with the new product.
Caused my system to crash repeatedly [Posted on 2008-05-05] I've used Norton products for over a decade, including previous versions of Norton Anti-Virus. I've been generally pleased with them, so when my wife bought a new PC (a Dell Vostro laptop with Windows Vista), I purchased Norton Anti-Virus 2008. I was able to install it just fine and the PC ran OK for a few days. But then it started freezing up and crashing regularly. My wife lived with it for another week before giving up. We uninstalled Norton and installed Webroot AntiVirus with Antispyware. The PC has not crashed since then.
I don't plan to purchase another Norton product.
