Rating:  - not good
I have been using Norton anti-virus for less than a week. It had an impressive first day, removing a particularly irritating and tenacious bug; otherwise, it's most stunning achievement has been to wipe out my Internet connections, and to provide inadequate instructions for restoring them. Fortunately, I have a family member who can find his way around such problems; otherwise I would have had to spend extra money to pay someone to undo Norton's nuisance. Norton should not be selling a half-developed product.
Rating:  - 360 all around
I was first introduced to 360 as a beta tester and enjoyed testing the product. I like the ease of installation. I like Norton products and have used them for years. All the companies I have worked for as a ME secured their PCs and networks. Have never been downed by rogues virus attacks.Will never use the other guys.
Rating: - Does what it says it will do
These days, any product that does what it says it will do is a welcome addition to my home. Symantec's Norton 360 does just that, and at a great Amazon price to boot!
Rating:  - computer killer
Install this software and say goodbye to the overpriced fast computer that you used to love. This software will slow your websurfing blazer to an agonizing pre-1995 crawl. Don't believe the Norton advertisements about "optimization"; the only thing being optimized is Symantec's pocketbook. We are running a dual-core Athalon 5600 with 3GB RAM and it still can't handle the terrible coding implemented with this software.
Want to just try it out? Well, forget trying to disable it or uninstall it once you put it on your system, unless you really want to take a risk with messing with your config.sys or msconfig parameters.
I also run a quad-core HP 6600 beast. And no, that computer will never see Norton. Vista's firewall is simply superior coding by Microsoft (I'll spare you the details) and there are all kinds of quality AV to choose from. It's up to you, but if I were a buyer I would believe the 99%
of people who hated this product and disregard the one person who
miraculously likes the coding nightmare that is Norton 360.
Rating: - All In One
One of the easiest programs ever developed. Does the work of a firewall, anti-virus, email spam, internet security and more. Replaced 3 programs and runs real nice in the background. My only complaint is it slows down closing a web window for some reason. Other then that the easiest program to use.
