Customer Reviews

It has its good aspects.
Whenever you want to upgrade your anti-virus you`r allways plagued by the dread of long hours downloading and tricky instructions, terms and policys. I was, but the ease of it all kind of made up for the downloading time - an hour and a bit. I had had bad experiences vith anti-virus upgrades in the past, but this one was different. It really is effective in blocking unwantes softwear in addition to the fact that it has lots of extra features that are dead easy to toggle on and off. It had some plain silly features like parental site-blocking, but I bet you you won`t be dissapointed.

Not the bargain it seemed
I bought this to upgrade three existing PCs in the household running NIS 2006. However, they had been installed at different times - up to 6 months apart, but I assumed I'd get a year of updates for each one as I installed the new software.

That's not how this works - it calculates the expiry from the first time you install it - so the third machine is only getting 6 months of protection as I upgrade it six months after the first one.

I'm sure this might be made clear in the small print, but it took me by surprise !

Update takes along time - no User Accounts
I've just updated from NIS 2006 to NIS 2007. Just be aware that this took 4 hours! It did include 1.5 hours for a full system scan. However the install also paused for some time while I searched around for my password for my "Norton Account" that seems to do no more than store your serial number for you. Protection seemed to be off during this time.
I've not found a way around Parental Control for different users either - I'd hoped the settings would now be made per Windows User.
Amazon - I don't understand your Perfect Partner offer. Surely I don't want Norton Anti-Virus if I've got Norton Internet Security?
