bad option wish I had read the reviews The product slows down your computer quiet a bit. I talked to norton they told me to make certain changes, but it did not improved performance much. Thinking of uninstallin and using a different softwear. IT'S THAT BAD!!!!
It's Ok It's basically the same as last years, only a new skin, but it doese seem to go slower than before. Its ok, not amazing, but good enough.
Norton AntiVirus 2008 This product was perfect. It was exactly what I was going to by in the mall for much less. I recommend amazon to everyone! It has become one of my favorite places to shop.
NAV 2008 3-user lic. product review I bought a 3-user license for three computers running Windows XP (2 Home Edition and 1 Media Center Edition). The MDC PC had problems with installation, so I contacted tech support.
Their Tech Support labor is cheap, but not very effective, we are still trying to resolve the issue. I have purchased Norton Antivirus for my own personal computer since Windows 95 (in 1996). Every version gets worse and conflicts more with Windows and third party applications. It is nice to have brand loyalty, but I can not continue supporting this brand.
Yup, it slows down my system at restart I just installed this product because my other antivirus (Computer Associates) had expired. I restarted my computer to activate the Norton software for the first time. The restart was S.....L.....O.....W. It wouldn't even load my startup items like gmail notifier. After a few minutes I gave up. To test if it was Norton, I turned off the virus protection, restarted the computer and bingo, everything loaded up as quickly as normal. So, beware of this software. It may not slow down everyone's system, but it definitely slowed mine to a grinding halt. Lucky me.
