 The Devil You Know October 10, 2008
Norton computer products are sort of the devil you know. You stick with them because you fear the other anti-virus/internet protectors will be worse. Norton does an acceptable, not great job, and I also back it up with other (free) anti-cookie and anti-spyware products.
There's always some glitch to installing Norton products--one try is never enough, even if you're very computer literate.
My other comment is that if you have a previous Norton subscription, don't install your new product until the very last day, because they'll never give you even a day's credit for your previous subscription, even though they start nagging you to renew at least a month in advance. You'd drop a magazine subscription that did that!
Norton Internet Security 2008 3 user October 9, 2008
Although I have had this product for a few weeks, I have only just installed it. It seems to be working well and was easy to install.
 Amazon statement of 3 users is incorrect. September 30, 2008

Amazon states this is for 3 users which is incorrect. It is for one user only, with 3 PCs. I wasted money on this as I could have bought the one for only one computer. I had to install due to canceling from my Internet that was charging me $ 6.00 a month. It also came with the antivirus so I would not have had to pay for either.
I use it, I detest it September 26, 2008
Norton just may be the best of the AV suites available, but that doesn't make it much more palatable. The software is a pain to install and worse to renew, has a major (negative) impact on performance, and is paternalistic to the max. Turn off anything - anything - in the suite, and you'll never see the end of warning messages in your system tray warning you of Armegeddon. From a protection standpoint, the software is pretty good, but by no means a panacea, and things do slip through. Personally, I suspect there are some memory leaks somewhere in the software, as my machine is unresponsive to the point of being unusable after a full system scan.
I went to an AV suite after running without one for years, but finally got hit with a virus that required reflashing and a ground-up rebuild. Given the performance problems running AV software, however, my current thinking is that I might be better off simply taking a conservative approach with data security and redoing the build once a month. Given that's an immensely easier task on the Mac OS (more secure to begin with), I'm switching in the next couple of months. Norton and Vista aren't my idea of better off.
 Norton Internet Security 2008 September 26, 2008
Does the job but is a bit of a CPU resource hog when it is scanning. One annoyance lately is that each time I boot the PC I get a nag screen from Norton live update asking if I want to check for updates (Yes/No)? and I have to answer it each time. This even after I set live update to "off" in the Norton Internet Security control panel settings. It nags you.
Other than this, it seems to do a thorough job of protecting. Firewall is maybe a little too thorough as it has blocked some things that I don't want blocked and caused a kensington bluetooth Windows Vista driver to not install properly (until I disabled the firewall). Running it on up to date fast Intel based multi-processor laptop PC's also, so it does not slow things down in normal use. Overall I am happy with it. The package I bought allows you to install and use it on up to 3 PC's. It's not a bad package and does its job well.
