Norton IS 2009 improved:
I stopped using Norton ages ago when it sucked the life out of my computer. But I have based upon forums and reviews tried it again. It really is easy and I don't seem to have problems with it on either of my machines. This was a good buy here. Cheaper than Costco or Wal-mart. Arrived fine. I would probably buy it again. I used to use Trend Micro PC Cillin and I've tried McAfee. I find this gets many items. I was having to go into the registry to remove trojans manually. But with this, I have not had to do... more info
Rock Solid Product:
Rock Solid Product. Best antivirus softwre I've used in years. Make sure you consider Spam and other functions like real time updates of the software. Don' be fooled by the fancy gimics and free bees. There are many stores that offer rebates where the product will cost you near zero.
Still a memory hog:
I have been using other firewall/antivirus programs over the past several years because Norton was such a resource hog. Figured I would give it a second chance. Still a resource hog but the interface is pretty easy to use. Of course, Trendmicro and ZoneAlarm are also resource hogs, so what are you going to do?
missing file:
there was a missing file that did'nt allow me to use product. I beleive it ws sold that way on purpose;terrible.
