There are better programs for the price January 2, 2009 Bloated software, expensive compared to Kaspersky Security Suite which offers more. The Kaspersky license while valid allows you to upgrade to the latest suite as soon as it is released and within the terms of your license.

This was advertised as an Antispyware product but did not recognise one of the more frequent spyware bugs.Not recommended.
Best Version Since 1995!! December 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've dabbled with NAV since the days of Windows 3.1. I've never liked it - always found that it slows down my PC, is resource-hungry and dreadfully annoying with nags and pop-ups. But this 2009 version is very different. Very light on its feet with a small footprint and no noticeable adverse impact on PC performance. It's too early to say how good it is at protecting users from viruses, spyware etc but at least it runs very smoothly and is inconspicuous in use. Very good indeed. Nice one, Norton!
Overrated and notoriously heavy on computer resources November 23, 2008 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
In short, avoid Norton antivirus products. As someone who dabbles in a bit of IT I can say (and most of my collegues agree) Norton antivirus is exceptionally resource hungry on most laptops and PCs and there are many more products out there that can do what Norton can do and much much more with very little drain on your computer's performance. McAfee and AVC are two of many.
Many new laptops and PCs tend to be bundled with Norton and hence the user will tend to stick to them. My advice is, wait until the trial registration runs out and get something else. You will notice the difference.
Another problem I have run into in the past is that installations of newer versions of Norton AV will require you to totally remove ALL older (2005 and before I think) Symantec programs. Friends have had Norton password manager completely removed by an installation of Norton AV 2007.
Also, don't you just hate the pictures of smug looking people on the boxes?
It will keep your PC protected, but at a cost. Avoid.

It made my computer really slow and i had to reboot it. I havnt a clue why this happend but i wont risk installing it again. 30 quid thrown in the bin. i'd rather have a virus ridden com than have this antivirus running on it!
