 Norton works for me September 14, 2007
25 out of 30 found this review helpful
After using Norton antivirus for several years on multiple computers with no problems and the 2006 version ever since it came out, also with no problems, I thought it would be interesting to see what the state of the art was in antivirus software so I did some research on the Internet. Generally, Norton gets decent reviews on most web sites but Kaspersky was often rated higher so I thought I would try it since my Norton subscription was expiring in a few days anyway. I ordered Kaspersky version 6.0 from Amazon for $50 with a $50 rebate and I thought it doesn't get any better than that. I uninstalled Norton and after installing Kaspersky, my computer continuously restarted. The manual tells what to do in such an event but their solution didn't work. I called their tech support and spent two hours on the phone trying to correct the problem. I downloaded and ran the Norton uninstaller, I downloaded and ran the Kaspersky uninstaller, I downloaded and installed Kaspersky version 7.0. We tried everything that the tech could think of, same problem. I asked him if this was a common problem and he said yes even though the manual says it is rare. It was late in the day and I was tired from the effort so I asked the tech if we could continue the next day and he said he would call me at 8 a.m. the next morning. Well, I've been around awhile and I doubted that he would call, and he didn't. After reviewing everything I had read about antivirus software and considering my experience with Norton, I downloaded and installed Norton antivirus 2008. It was easy and it's working perfectly. I'm sure that Kaspersky is excellent software if it works for you, but it didn't work for me and I'm not interested in going to all the effort it would require to try to make it work. I can count on one hand the number of times I have needed tech support for hardware or software so the fact that Norton charges for tech support is not important to me since I've never needed it anyway. I may try a different program someday, something like Nod 32 if they fix their interface, but for now I'm going to go by the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
Best Norton in 10 years. December 12, 2007
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I've been with Norton for over a decade (and have fixed literally thousands of computers) and this new Norton is by far the best version they have made, hand's down. The new interface is perfect for the novice; just let it do what it needs to do, and as a mom & dad, you don't have to change a thing.
Moreover, the new interface has been streamlined (very cool) which means that contrary to the novices on here writing these reviews, any technical professional will agree with me, the "strain" on your system resources has been dramatically reduced (down to 1 active process). I'm so excited that they (Symantec Corp.) have completely redone Norton Anti Virus, that I was actually thinking of writing the company directly with this glowing review. I'm simply amazed.
Anti virus programs have been notorious since their inception of hogging your computer's memory. Not anymore. This new version has finally done what so many of us had wanted from the early days. A simple-to-use interface with no bells and whistles, and, for us techies out there, a less Godzilla-like footprint when the program is running in the background. By their own admission, Symantec has finally listened to all of us, and done it almost perfectly this time. I give this new version an "A" grade pushing the bounds of an actual "A+". It's THAT good.
If you are a simple family who knows nothing about anti-virus programs, you're going to have to take it from someone who's knows, not to mention that I've been a big fan of Symantec back when Peter Norton Computing Corp. sold his company to the former, and 'off they went' to try year after year in a dead heat with McAfee to make the best anti virus products around. Well Norton has done it this time BIG TIME.
Another note for the newbies and parents out there. You do not need any other programs that bog down your system. You do not need the other Norton products, nor do you need any 3rd party software for all of the hype you hear about 'adware', malware', 'spyware', etc. Norton Anti Virus actually takes care of all those things auto-magically for you. Trust me, I've worked with family computers forever, and all you really need are 4 things to keep your computer happy (and all of these programs are no--brainers; just follow what they want you to do, and sleep well at night)
First and foremost is installing anti virus software on a NEW or fresh re-installed system. If you are a novice, parent, mom, etc., trust me on this one. Have someone do it for you locally if you cannot reformat your system. Here are the simple 4 things you need to know and get...
1 - Norton Anti Virus 2008 (Symantec Corp.)
2 - Tuneup Utilities 2007 (TuneUp Software GmbH)
3 - And 'defragment' your computer every week. Or get PerfectDisk 8.0 to do it even better.
4 - And finally, stay away from Windows Vista. INSIST that your computer manufacturer install Windows XP instead. (All the techies are cheering me on right now, can you hear them?)
I really do hope that someone at Symantec reads this review. ALL ANTI VIRUS programs have bad reviews, and always have had them. That's because people get them too late and already have a ravaged computer upon installing these kinds of programs. The technicians know this, I know this and any other 'repair' guy reading this knows this.
The new Norton is just THAT good. I'm been running it for a couple of months now, and have been amazed at the simplicity and cool-factor of it, under the hood as well. They slacked off for the last 2-3 years, but now that this new version is out, I now know what they were doing all that time. Revamping their program! And it's about time. Norton is finally... *Back*!

Installation of Norton Antivirus 2008 October 9, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Purchased Norton Antivirus 2008 software installation package and received shipment as soon as it became available. Installation was delayed until definitions subscription for earlier version of Norton Antivirus software program was about to expire. Total time to install and register the new program with Symantec was about an hour with no installation problems at all. Good product!
