4 out of 5 stars Best Version Since 1995!!   December 1, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've dabbled with NAV since the days of Windows 3.1. I've never liked it - always found that it slows down my PC, is resource-hungry and dreadfully annoying with nags and pop-ups. But this 2009 version is very different. Very light on its feet with a small footprint and no noticeable adverse impact on PC performance. It's too early to say how good it is at protecting users from viruses, spyware etc but at least it runs very smoothly and is inconspicuous in use. Very good indeed. Nice one, Norton!


2 out of 5 stars Overrated and notoriously heavy on computer resources   November 23, 2008

In short, avoid Norton antivirus products. As someone who dabbles in a bit of IT I can say (and most of my collegues agree) Norton antivirus is exceptionally resource hungry on most laptops and PCs and there are many more products out there that can do what Norton can do and much much more with very little drain on your computer's performance. McAfee and AVC are two of many.

Many new laptops and PCs tend to be bundled with Norton and hence the user will tend to stick to them. My advice is, wait until the trial registration runs out and get something else. You will notice the difference.

Another problem I have run into in the past is that installations of newer versions of Norton AV will require you to totally remove ALL older (2005 and before I think) Symantec programs. Friends have had Norton password manager completely removed by an installation of Norton AV 2007.

Also, don't you just hate the pictures of smug looking people on the boxes?

It will keep your PC protected, but at a cost. Avoid.

It made my computer really slow and i had to reboot it. I havnt a clue why this happend but i wont risk installing it again. 30 quid thrown in the bin. i'd rather have a virus ridden com than have this antivirus running on it!


5 out of 5 stars hats off, at last!!   September 22, 2008

after an unsatisfactory trial with Kaspersky I decided on a simple antivirus, this is good, very good, its quiet, the pc runs quickly and smoothly and it even monitors my wireless network. Happy to buy this. Worth a serious look if you don't need a full suite. Well done it's taken a few years mind you but I think they have cracked it at Symantec! Ill be watching very closely if the virus and spyware is better, 2008 suite installed on my new laptop missed a trojan here and there so well see if this is better, but certainly from a running point of view it's spot on!
