Customer Reviews

Follow the advice
Thanks to Amazon reviewers, I uninstalled my previous version of Norton, ran the Norton removal tool downloaded from the website, installed as per instructions and have no problems. It runs scans in the background, cuts out viruses in spam without bothering me. The only reason for the 4 stars is that I haven't used the back up tool as I use Karen's Replicator with a Linux server and as double backup an external hard drive. Sorry, I don't trust Norton THAT much!

Predictable but good
Notron has always been one of those products which have to root themselves inside your system to work effectively and minimise the virus attacks which you might have.

This one is no exception and I expected it from the beginning.

Since i've installed it it's been pretty quiet and kept out of the way except when it auto detects a virus or a trojan and lets me know, which is nice.

I have disabled the backup feature, but if you have an external drive permanently plugged in then it is probably one of the most useful features. I see little point in using it if my external drive isn't plugged in at the time of the auto backup or im having to put a blank dvd in the drive for about 10 dvd's worth of backup.

the virus scan is pretty slow, but i hope thorough.

Not sure what else to say really. This is a good product.

beware does not find all trojans!
OK, I bought the full price version form currys as I had a problem with my firewall and needed a quick fix. Norton did not provide a quick fix as there was a virus that it could not detect. The virus prevented me from updating or registering norton, it prevented access to symantec website. When I realised that I could not gain access to all antivirus websites I realised I had a virus problem. I downloaded a sypware software called XoftSpySE which is brillient and this sorted my problem. I can now register and update Norton. However, Norton still doesn't detect these trojans - its own spyware detection is not good, so I use the XoftSpySE to detect and delete these items.

As I paid the full £60 price I must say that I am dissapointed with Norton. I would advise you to also have a seperate spyware software as Norton is not as good as it likes to think it is.
