Customer Reviews
May 28, 2009 -
"I have used a couple other different Antivirus software and wasn't and will not be as happy as I am with Symantec Corporation, Norton Antivirus. I will never think of purchasing another antivirus software package and I have had family and friends purchase the software because I have NEVER had a problem with ANY viruses or trojans attacking my computer. When I have gone into a site and a virus was attached, Norton Antivirus has caught the problem and if my computer was attacked. When I (as I do daily) run the live update and scan my computer, I have only had 1 trojan attach it to my computer and Norton Antivirus took took care of the trojan. I am VERY pleased with Norton Antivirus and the staff it takes to keep this product so up-to-date. I will buy this product hands down over ANY other antivirus software! Thank you for this product!"

"Loads very quickly, uses a small amount of system resources and offers good PC protection. Improved interface. Scans system while PC is idle for better scan scheduling. Updates are more consistent than previous versions. Had trouble with auto update in the past. Overall much better program than previous versions. I would recommend"

"Best protection money can buy, I will buy it until there is no me. Protects, scans, stops attacks in there tracks. I can't imagine another virus protection being as complete as Norton"s. I love the easy interface, updating definitions is a snap and I have not had one prolem in years."

"My current NAV works fine but upgrades are not possible since the new versions requiere XP or more recent Windows. You need to provide for upgrades to older operatings systems. I do have a laptop with XP pro but desktop is W2K pro. Please address this problems. Thank you much"
