Packs A Substantial Punch - Good Antivirus Software Software Review

I order it online, the shipping is free, and I get a real box and disk to physically load into my PC's. What's to not like?

We use it three computers of our own and two of our handicapped son. All installations seem to work flawlessly. It seems to have done everything well. It loaded and installed correctly. I then spent 6 hours online with their product support people in India and they seemed totally incompetent. They could not explain what they were doing or why, left the machine in worse shape than when I called them (through remote access to my computer), and then told me that they couldn't do any more, and perhaps I should get it fixed by a computer technician.

It's easy to install and use, doesn't bloat my system, and most importantly, doesn't slow down my other programs and processes. I highly recommend it! Like 2010, this version is easy to use, idiot-proof, and worth every penny. It updates the antivirus definitions automatically, its default settings are not annoying in the least, and it scans automatically when your system isn't being used. Note that Norton Antivirus is much cheaper than Norton Internet Security, but lacks several on-line protection tools that many consider necessary these days. Norton quality combined with Amazon great price and service can't be beat. I've stuck with Norton through all its ups and downs for over 15 years now. Norton uses a website-based parental control option now. Despite being called a different name and being able to set profiles for family members, it is not reliable and not well thought-out. Also, there is a link to Norton Boot Disc that helps if you can or can't get online due to a virus. This is another helpful program.

Amazon has a great price on this. I received the product expeditiously.

Second, I have had trouble properly activating the product, including this year. This time it told me that the activation was successful, but after the first reboot it said that the product had expired. So far, after 2 installs it seems to be working okay. I really like this product over the "other one" out there it let viruses in my wife's computer and good value when you buy the 3 install version.

Norton's Internet Security is faster, safer, and lighter than in previous editions, making it very useful for XP users. With this newest version there is a Reputation Service. It is hard for me to try another brand. We have used Norton Internet Security for all our computers for a number of years.
