Rating: - * Don't slam this yet! ... My PC has a 2.2g duel core intel processor with 2g RAM (any of you folks out there who still has less than 1 g of ram, or still using single core, please, stop complaining abt new softwares slowing down your PC and get real!). I was using NIS 2006 previously on this PC. Recently, the subscription for NIS 2006 ran out so I uninstalled it (which went without a glitch!!!! yes, I just used the normal "do it from the control panel method"!). Then I loaded in NIS 2008. Man! My boot up actually speeded up! I know some of you folks have all kinds of complain but I don't see this at all! Who says this product slow down you PC? I think it only slow down those PC who doesn't have the processing power in the first place. Rating: - * A must have! ... I love Symantec's Norton Internet Security! I've been using this to protect my computer since 2002, and haven't had any problems. As soon as I installed this 2008 version, Symantec sent me a message letting me know a free upgrade was available to the 2009 version! Plus, I received this item earlier than expected. I couldn't be any happier! Thanks! Rating: - * Nag-ware and deception ... This is not for "3 Users" but for one user on 3 PCs -- so the product name is deliberately deceptive. Plus, although I signed up for Automatic Renewal, I'm getting a pop=up every FEW MINUTES ( !!! ) telling me "there's a problem with your Symantec protection" -- and the "problem" is that "there are only xx days" until the subscription runs out ! So the idea is to annoy me until I renew a month early -- and since the subscription renews from that point onward, I lose a month I've paid for. So they deliberately set it up to force you to lose a month or be annoyed incessantly by a popup every few minutes. I'm going to delete this and go to any of the "Open Source" anti-virus (which get excellent reviews) that were created and maintained by engineers who got tired of this money-grubbing treatment. Rating: - * norton ... WARNING to anyone thinking about buying this product! Please understand that you will not be buying this product only RENTING it. If you do not renew every year the product stops working....COMPLETELY! I'm not just talking about updates, etc. It actually tells you that it has stopped working and it won't work unless you renew. I have just wasted more than 2 hours with Norton's online tech support. This is the case with ALL Norton products and I am quoting the tech. Rating: - * One of the Best ... I ordered Norton off of Amazon and I got it in like a week or so.I installed it and ever since then I've never had any infections or complications. My computer runs smoothly and almost as fast as when I bought it newly despite all the programs stored on my PC. It's really amazing. There's also a really nifty feature called Live Update. This feature downloads the latest updates like every 2 or 5 hours because new types of viruses are being released faster than you can say "virus" so it updates the capability of Norton to detect them. It's really sweet. It also doesn't leave cluttered trash all over your desktop like some other types. There's just one icon on the desktop which gives you access to all the services it offers and or Vista users, it's on the sidebar too. There's also a small icon on the toolbar that turns red to indicate a problem. Simply click on it and it takes you straight to it, telling you what to do all along. Green means everything is ok. It also scans your computer in the background every week silently to make sure that there are no hidden viruses. Really, there are so many features in this product that I could describe but all I'm gonna say is that this is definitely one of the best. I've not regretted this product one bit and trust me you won't.
