You have earned a Gold Medal." -Lewis C.

February 8, 2010 -"It just works the way I expect it to. In all fairness to Symantec when ever I have experienced a problem (twice) in many years of using Norton, it has been fixed immediately by their online help staff. I would not change it no matter what. I have used other prominent anivirus products, but Norton is the best for me, so much so that I have added Norton to my kids laptops." -Eric A.

December 22, 2009 -"What a huge difference !!! I have made a living over the last 8 years REMOVING Symantec products from clients computers, including Anti Virus and Internet Security because of the problems encountered by first time computer users and because of the amount of resources and invasive tactics used to protect PC's.
I am happy to say the new Norton Anti Virus 2010 may be the best product this company has produced in many a year. It has a much lower footprint and uses little to no resources even when running background tasks or even a FULL SYSTEM Scan. The new interface is much better and for the first time in my years repairing Windows PC'S I highly recommend NAV 2010." -Keith G.
