I believe that these were false positives, but now I will never know. It would be good to have a removal tool that saved the history and quarantined files.
I'm sure it grabs some resources, but in today's era of high-powered personal computers, it's not a problem. I'm glad I bought it.
I have been using Norton Internet Security for at least three years. It has always worked very well for me. The interface is classy and easy to understand. I tried another major AV package that came along with my new laptop and really did not like it. It is plain silly I need to purchase another copy at Amazon to get the better price. What a waste of time, shipping, and customer good will.
I had to try to remember all the settings I made changes to in the past and manually enter them once the installation was complete. Therefore, my advice is to buy from Amazon to save a few dollars, but before doing the installation - look up and write down all your settings so they can be manually reentered, in case you find yours deleted too.
This program installed easily and quickly. I really feel secure with this program because a virus actually "killed" my last computer. I was in disbelief at their arrogance and incompetence. They spent 6 hours making something terrible worse and then had the gall to tell me to see a technician, when everything ran fine before I loaded their software?
I have had about 4 instances of virus and Norton cleaned up each one with no problems. Also, I have noticed no slowdown in my computer after switching to Norton.
I'm a SW professional and mentioned this to a peer who immediately recognized the pattern and said Yea, Norton becomes a virus.' My impression is that Norton has gone to the dark side. I can't imagine ever going with them again.
I use Diskeeper for that - historically much faster than Windows own tools (Windows defrag used to take a day, where this does the job in minutes and can run continuously in the background with no appreciable knock on system resources).
Otherwise, I am very happy with the product itself. All I had to do was follow the step by step instructions and register the product. The number was wrong and I could not install the Norton Internet Security. I am very unhappy with the seller, MicroIdea Inc. I installed NIS on 2 computers that had NIS 2010 on them (1 Vista 64 and the other Windows XP). For one I followed Norton's suggestion on its web site to delete all temporary files, but for the 2nd install I did not. When NIS was released, I was able to upgrade to it for the last few months of my NIS2010 subscription. It's nice that Norton will allow you to do that so you have the most current and secure version of Norton.
